Book the round you actually want

Avery Ranch Golf Club describes itself as a daily-fee course and provides separate public, player-club and member booking links. Its address is 10500 Avery Club Drive, Austin, TX 78717.[2]

A smaller park stop

Pearson Pocket Park is listed at 9407 Spectrum Drive. The city also lists Davis Spring Special Park at 9819 Neenah Avenue, giving you named alternatives when choosing a park destination.[1]

Keep the greenbelt names straight

Austin lists Brushy Creek Greenbelt at 16533 Along Creek Cove and Lakeline Greenbelt at 9833 Northlake Creek Parkway. These directory entries identify addresses; they do not establish a continuous route between the two.[1]

Plan a little better

Before you go

Use the right reservation link
The club separates public tee times from member bookings. Follow the option that matches your visit and review the booking conditions and rate for that round.[2]
Treat a directory as the starting point
Select the named park’s address in the city directory for directions, then check posted notices when you arrive. A greenbelt listing alone does not describe trail conditions.[1]

A few things to know

Can nonmembers book at Avery Ranch Golf Club?

The official website provides a Public Tee Time booking link as well as membership options. Use the public booking page to see the conditions and availability for your intended round.[2]

Is the golf course the same place as Brushy Creek Greenbelt?

They are separate destinations in this guide: the golf club lists Avery Club Drive, while the city park directory lists Brushy Creek Greenbelt on Along Creek Cove.[2][1]

Restaurant health inspections in 78717

Austin Public Health has scored 545 inspections at 108 facilities in ZIP 78717, averaging 91.3/100. Of those scored visits, 368 scored 90 or above, 119 scored 80–89 and 58 scored below 80.

Where 78717’s restaurants stand today

Counting each of the 108 facilities once, at its most recent scored visit: the median score is 93/100, 70 currently sit at 90 or above, and 19 are below 80 (17.6% of them). That is a different measure from the visit counts above, which weigh a frequently-inspected kitchen more heavily.

Only businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit file these returns, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants, coffee shops and every unlicensed kitchen in 78717 are absent from this count entirely. “Top” here means alcohol receipts reported to the state, not quality or popularity. A venue that closed keeps appearing until it stops filing, and August 2026 is the most recent month the Comptroller has published — not the current one.

Economy and county context for 78717

This site publishes no economic figures at ZIP level — no ZIP-level income, employment or business counts are held here, and none are estimated from county numbers. What follows describes Williamson County, the county ZIP 78717 sits in (100% of its 311 requests carry that county). A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat these figures as the surrounding context, not as a description of 78717.

Across Williamson County, Austin 311 has recorded 17,225 service requests spanning 12 ZIP codes, closing half of the last 12 months' requests within 25 hours. That corpus is City of Austin 311 only, so it counts requests made to Austin at addresses in the county — a meaningful figure for Travis, a partial one anywhere Austin is not the service provider.

Common questions about 78717

Where is 78717 located?

ZIP code 78717 is in Austin, Texas, in Williamson County. On this site it is grouped under Far north. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.

Is 78717 safe?

This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any Austin ZIP code, so it cannot answer that question and does not try to. What it can tell you is what residents reported and what the city acted on: 2,597 311 service requests were filed in 78717 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 17, 2026), 309 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 10 of those are still open. Report counts are not a safety rating and should not be read as one: a ZIP that files more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld. Source: City of Austin open data, datasets xwdj-i9he and 6wtj-zbtb.

How many 311 requests are open in 78717?

113 311 service requests in ZIP 78717 were still open or in progress as of September 17, 2026 — 109 open and 4 in progress. Residents filed 2,597 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 197 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78717?

Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78717 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 26 hours, and nine in ten within 12 days. That is 1.1 hours slower than the citywide median of 25 hours. Both figures are computed the same way — median hours from opened to closed, over requests opened in the same 12-month window — which is what makes comparing them meaningful. A median describes the middle case, not the worst one. Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.

How many code enforcement cases are there in 78717?

Austin Code has opened 309 enforcement cases at addresses in ZIP 78717, of which 10 are not yet closed. Closed cases took a median of 5.0 days to resolve. A code case records an allegation that was investigated, not a finding of wrongdoing, and this site publishes no case addresses. Source: City of Austin Code Cases, dataset 6wtj-zbtb.

How many restaurants in 78717 have been inspected?

Austin Public Health has scored 545 inspections at 108 distinct facilities in ZIP 78717, averaging 91.3/100 across those visits. That average weighs every inspection equally, so a restaurant inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag, so the newest score on file is not necessarily from this week. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

How do restaurants in 78717 score on health inspections?

Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78717 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 93 out of 100 across 108 facilities. 70 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 19 at their last visit came in below 80 — 17.6% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include Goddard School @ Avery Ranch, The (100), Challenger School Elementary (100), Starbucks Coffee Company #6268 (100). This counts one score per restaurant, not one per visit, so a frequently-inspected kitchen does not pull the figure on its own. A score grades a single inspection on a single day against a checklist — it is not a rating of the food or of the restaurant, and a low score is routinely corrected on the next visit. Newest inspection on file in this ZIP: August 19, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.

What are the top bars in 78717?

16 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78717 for August 2026, totalling $632,642 in alcohol receipts — #27 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were MAMA BETTY'S TEX-MEX Y CANTINA ($181,864), MOONSHINE ($94,638), ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA ($82,454). "Top" here means alcohol sales reported to the Texas Comptroller, not quality, popularity or crowd — and only businesses with a mixed-beverage permit file at all, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants and coffee shops are absent entirely. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, dataset naix-2893.

What is the economy like around 78717?

No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78717 sits in Williamson County, where unemployment was 4.1% in July 1, 2026 with a labor force of 435,893. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78717. Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau via FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis).

Where these numbers come from

  • 311 service requests: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset xwdj-i9he. Newest request on this page: September 17, 2026. A 311 request records that someone reported something, not that the condition was verified.
  • Code enforcement cases: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset 6wtj-zbtb. A case is an allegation that was investigated, not a finding.
  • Restaurant inspections: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi. Published in irregular batches with weeks of lag. Newest scored inspection in this ZIP: August 19, 2026. A score grades one visit on one day against a checklist; it is not a rating of a restaurant.
  • Mixed-beverage receipts: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, dataset naix-2893. Figures here are for August 2026, the most recent published month. Covers only businesses holding a mixed-beverage permit, and only their alcohol sales.
  • ZIP boundary: U.S. Census Bureau 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, generalized for display (13.0 sq mi of land in 78717). Display geometry only: no figure on this page is assigned to a ZIP by this polygon — the ZIP on every record comes from the publishing agency.
  • County economy: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau, retrieved from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. County-level only — this site holds no ZIP-level economic figures and estimates none.
  • Twelve-month and 30-day windows are computed when the aggregates are rebuilt each night, not at the moment you load the page. This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any ZIP, and no council-district figures — ZIP codes do not nest inside council districts.
