Where to Practice in Austin: A Ranked Range Guide
TL;DRHank Haney was wrong about a lot, but he was right about this: where you practice shapes how you practice.

Austin's range scene is uneven. Some facilities are top tier; some will groove a bad pattern into your swing. Here's where to spend your hour.
Best for full-swing work
- Avery Ranch — Grass tees, real distance, target greens. The only true range in north Austin.
- Grey Rock — Big, open, multiple targets. Mats only on most days.
- Topgolf (Domain) — Bad for swing work, good for casual fun. Not a substitute for a real range.
Best short-game areas
- Lions Municipal — Underrated short-game green with bunkers. Free if you're playing.
- Butler Pitch and Putt — The single best 60-yards-and-in practice in central Texas.
- Hancock Golf Course — Walkable 9-hole that doubles as on-course wedge practice.
Stop guessing what to work on.
