I was traveling for work to Austin. I needed to get ready for a tournament the following weekend. I didn't have much time, so on a whim I found this place. I'm almost 60 years old and I was welcomed with open arms. I met a guy that laid the sod for the rebuild and he was telling the reads on the greens. I then bumped into some great guys, Anthony and Henry that let me join them as there a little wait. I kept meeting fun people enjoying golf and 100 degree weather in July. I saw teenagers being kids enjoying themselves. I will be back and I'm bringing others every time I go to Austin. Namaste' Y'all! read more

Amazing all around. Whether you are a social golfer or a bit more serious. This is a fun 9-hole par three that is suitable for all skill levels. I spent five days in Austin and came back to the spot twice! Has the best vibes, great staff, cool swag (love the Sunday bag and country club shirts)and a great beverage selection. Depending on the time that you go, there might be a wait, so grab a drink and enjoy practicing chipping, putting, cornhole, or socializing. The course has fun billboards (Caddyshack and Ron ) and comical Greenskeepers. I was impressed by how nice the greens are. Honestly, much better than some of my local 18 public courses! Restrooms are clean and easy to access. Two unisex so plan accordingly :) I cannot emphasize enough, how amazing their customer service is. This is a great spot run by great people. read more

Disclaimer: Did not come to play golf, but it is definitely still on my Austin bucket list! What I actually came to do was grab some discounted merchandise from the Sierra Madre women's golf brand sample sale to celebrate their 3rd anniversary. I also got a ton of free products from the Bloom Nutrition "booth". The waiting/gathering area was cute and I was able to get a spot by the office where folks sign up for a round. Based on what others told me that day, they had a large high school group come in & back up everyone else. The wait was several hours long. Next time they should have just closed the business for the whole day, half day, or just until the large group finished the course. This way others are not inconvenienced. Otherwise, I feel like it'd be a fun experience with great views and I can't wait to come here with family or friends! read more

Butler Pitch & Putt is an iconic Austin establishment in my eyes. Although I was not there to play golf today, they made for an amazing host for the Champs Run Club event. The area is nestled in the heart of downtown Austin right by Lady Bird Lake. The run event was set up right by the clubhouse. They were very accommodating hosts allowing the tents to be set up for the DJ, demo shoes and other vendors in attendance including Champs and StretchLab. We were able to utilize the green for our pre race stretching and the race start and stop line was on the course. They provided water and sandwiches in the clubhouse after the run. The employees are very kind and accommodating and charged my phone for me when my battery level was low so that I could have enough power to track my run on Strava. When an unexpected storm came in during the event, they made sure everyone had cover under the awning and in the clubhouse. Overall amazing location to host the running event and can't wait to come back to play golf soon. read more

It was a lot of fun to golf this par 3. Greens very close so no driver is needed. A couple clubs needed and a golf ball. You que your golf ball in a slot and wait till your turn. It was a 45 minute wait for us which we were told was not bad for a Friday morning. A 4 star is because no staff member was overseeing the ball slot and so people we were waiting needlessly to take their turn. Eventually, the people next after the absent people just teed off. It was all good in the end. Major backups at home 5(20 minutes) and a few balls came our way. Thankfully, the net and a tree blocked the ball. It was relaxing and fun. The Gimme burger food truck is on site. Beer and beverages are available for purchase. Complimentary cold water and cup also available. A great place to learn and practice. No tee times allowed and check the calendar to make sure they are open. They close for leagues and special events. We will be back. read more

Butler Pitch & Putt - GOLF - Golf Near Me - Austin, Texas

As someone who actually golfs, this is a fun 3 par course with children and people who have no idea how to golf and hangout on the greens rather than playing through. I get it's a slower paced, fun way to learn but they need someone out there ensuring there is movement. We went around 2pm on a Sunday (peak hours) expecting to wait. We played some corn hole, got some food but then 2 hours later we still had 7 groups in front of us and daylight was coming to an end. They gave us a rain check which was very much appreciated. Overall, fun place for something to do but plan to be there for a while especially if it's busy. read more

My first time here on a Saturday around 11am. It was not too busy and we waited about 1 hour to get on the first tee. In the meantime, we walked on the pedestrian bridge and enjoyed the nice views in the area. The course itself was perfect for people with little to no golf experience, and even great for those who play all the time. No hole is longer than 100 yards and the course can be played in around 2 hours. I had a ton of fun. Only comment is that the pace of play can be slow if you are around families on a busy day. Luckily they have benches with shade at each hole to wait at. Overall a great experience and will be coming back. My boyfriend especially liked it because he said I look really good playing golf. read more

Parking can be difficult, Saturday morning will be very busy, but OVERALL best experience. Right in the center of Austin, such a great vibe and it's a very unique PAR 3 course. Anybody $13, Veterans can play for $9, you can rent clubs. Best to practice with your own clubs if you have them (putter and a wedge) I went alone for the first time and it took me about 40 min, but if you go with a group about a quick 1.5-2 hours. First come first serve which is great! Lots of beer selection and bring in your own water. Any level is welcome, nobody will make fun of you, we just here to enjoy golfing with friends! read more

Amazing time was had by all. Food was good, drinks reasonably priced. Staff was the best.

I didn't plan to play, just wanted to tag along with my husband but I'm glad he made me play with him because I had so much fun! My husband had been wanting to come back here for quite sometime now - Butler was his favorite par-3 course in his prime (lol). Butler's vibe is a laid back short golf course (I would say this place is even okay for people like me; I officially graduated from the mini golf course but not quite qualified to play at a legit golf course yet...). It's a nine hole par-3 course but I must say it was quite intimidating at first since all I saw were guys. However, there were more ladies later on in the day and the more I played and had so much fun I forgot about everything else. We got there at 8:30AM on Saturday but since the greens had frost on them, we had to wait till 8:45AM before they allowed the first party to proceed. I really liked the course including each holes gradual difficulty level; and the fact that it's surrounded by nature (had we been here in spring or summer when trees had all their leaves it would have been even better). It's in the middle of downtown chaos (you see sky high buildings in one direction and downtown traffic, or trains in another) so it has this Central Park appeal to it. They have a club house where you check in/pay for the service and they also sell breakfast (from Little Ola's Biscuits), beverages, snacks, and merch. The unisex bathrooms are right up front where you enter (you will need a code from the club house to use it and the bathrooms are clean and have heaters which is a major plus on a cold January morning). All in all, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have fun whether an amateur (like me) or avid golfers it is just a plain great time! read more

This is such a hidden little spot in downtown Austin. The view of the skyline is absolutely gorgeous! We started with food and Gimme Burger was absolutely delicious! I loved my cheeseburger with Gimme sauce and crispy fries. We went during the day on Tuesday so there weren't a lot of people which was really nice. They had a wide selection of beers to chose from and an office dog that was too cute! The only reason I give it 4/5 stars is because there was a horrible smell throughout the course. We couldn't figure out what it was but it was AWFUL! I overall had a fun time and will come back again! (Please just fix the smell) read more

The lady working at the desk cursed me out when we asked about course availability. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable.

This place is my new Adult playground. Awesome spot for wedge/putting practice. Interesting system for tee times, gotta be present to play. Very cool vibe at the property with amazing downtown skyline views. Combined with a very chill and relaxed atmosphere at the tee box and waiting areas. Onsite staff the day I played were fantastic and super-helpful. Very much recommend this place for your short game enjoyment!! read more

I want to start by saying what I great place! This was my 2nd time here. The pitch & putt sits on a whole block in downtown Austin. It has incredible views on each hole. This is a Par 3 course, the hole yardage ranges from 60-115 yards. Perfect place to work on your short game but just keep your head up the holes are pretty close together. Butler is good for all skill levels. My favorite hole is the 9th hole I believe. It feeling like your hitting from the sidewalk. Parking is kinda tough here, they only have a few spots up front(free) Otherwise it's street parking and you have to pay for that. I do believe they have parking garages near by it's probably a few blocks away. You can bring your own clubs or you can rent from the course. I think it was $15 for greens fee and clubs rental. They serve food & drinks. I'll be coming back every time I'm in Austin! read more

Love this place to bits. Weather you pop in for a quick round or decide to join one of their leagues (yay ladies league!) you're going to have fun no matter what skill level. They have a solid canned beer and beverage selection and I believe they have a few snack and food options available inside the clubhouse along with the burger truck located outside. I've been in on a Sunday morning and had a cup of coffee and a biscuit sandwich will waiting for my turn, best way to spend a weekend morning. Staff is always really nice and helpful. You can rent some clubs or purchase a few golf balls. The only complaint I have is that I wish they would bring back the Gatorade in a can, other than that the folks here a doing a good job read more

Butler Pitch & Putt - Canned Gatorade - Golf Near Me - Austin, Texas

Summary: great environment, great par 3 golf course! COURSE: well-constructed and maintained course. Great practice for the short game and up and down practicing! Shortest hole was 61 yards to the longest hole of 101 yards! WAIT: it's first come first serve, so arrive early or be prepared to wait for around an hour for the weekend rounds! There's so much to do within that hour although-- fun games such as connect 4, putting green and more! I sound like an ad, but it truly is a good time here! FOOD: grabbed a honey chicken sandwich for $10 and it was worth it. A good eat! Will come back! Perhaps, at a lighter time thiug Cheers read more

As someone who plays golf at a regular course a few times a month, I was on the fence between a 4 and a 5, but going with a 5. Such a great vibe the minute you step on the property. Got a good truck at the entrance with delicious fries, corn hole, oversized connect 4 and tons of out doors seating to have a beer and watch people tee off or finish up, or watch golf on one of their big screen TVs. The kids in the shop were super friendly and accommodating with the golf clubs we requested. Place is super affordable, just a couple bucks for balls and a couple club rentals. 15 for the 9 holes. For an average golfer you really can get away with a sand wedge and a putter, maybe a lob of you happen to have your clubs with you but definitely don't pack any for this spot since all holes are less than 100 yards. The beers and clothing in the shop were decently priced as well, and they had a good selection. Now the not so good.. they don't take tee times and the wait time to tee off can be a little long, so be prepared to hang and have a drink outside before your round. Also, the greens are incredibly slow, but for people who don't really play I suppose that could be preferred. They had groups of 5 out there, so if I recommend going with a few people so you're not waiting so long after each hole. I really do recommend checking this place out with friends or even on a double date, even if you're not a great golfer. It's very beginner friendly and if the weather is nice, it's an awesome place to go have a couple beers, hit some balls, and enjoy the sun. read more

Not your ordinary pitch and putt golf course. So much better than that. An experience one has to try at least once. I can't wait to go back there again and again!! read more

I go to Butler Pitch & Putt just for the food! Gimme Burger has incredible, smash-style burgers (though, the patties aren't as thin and crispy as more traditional smash). Super crispy French fries. Amazing service. Skip the $9 hotdog--it's way overpriced and just not good. In the Clubhouse, you need to get the biscuits and cookies from Little Ola's (a bakery in north Austin). They're just so, so good. Especially the tomato and egg. These may be my favorite biscuits in Austin. Warning: the clubhouse is pretty intimidating. The patrons are all "bros" and are very loud and take up a lot of space. The people behind the counter are pretty unfriendly, too. Don't let it deter you from the food, though...persevere! read more

No reason why we can't make a reservation for a time slot to enjoy the space. The excuse from the front desk was that people would just not show up for the reservation. If you would just charge when booking the reservation, LIKE EVERY OTHER GOLF COURSE DOES, you wouldn't have to deal with people not showing up and would actually get people who want to come and play. When I went into the front office and asked about the course being closed this morning the response was, "we let you know on our social media we had a private event." They posted on the IG story one hour before the event started that the course was closed. I am coming from out of town to come and play the course with my family, who live in Austin, and very disappointed in the new ownership and their business practices. This used to be a legendary gathering place for us and other friends of ours and am extremely frustrated with the lack of solutions and attitude I received from the staff. I would appreciate a response from the owners to help restore my faith in this once loved location. Thank you. read more

We had a good time here! Long waits so plan to come early or expect an hour or so wait. Luckily plenty of beer and food truck on site. Holes are simple, par threes. Rent or bring a wedge or putter. We had a group of 4 and it took about 2 hours with 1 hour of waiting to start. Beer reasonably priced. Parking is a nightmare !!! Aka there isn't any and our car got towed. Beware. read more

New ownership and a 1M$ renovation (still not wrapping my head around this one, but that's what they tell me), but still the same great hidden gem it always was. Biggest change is that it's no longer BYOB. Boo, although they do have a decent selection of beers for sale and more tables to drink them, including a covered beer garden. It's a new Austin law that city courses can't be BYOB, so I guess we can't blame them. The 9-hole, 3 par course is definitely upgraded from what it used to be, with fun murals and photo opps around, drink and club holders at the holes, new fences, etc. It's still affordable too. I love that the majority of the course is shaded by larger trees, and even though it's minutes from downtown, it feels like it's own peaceful oasis. I'm really glad they kept the heart and integrity of the Pitch and Putt intact. read more

The staff is actually the rudest people I've met in Austin, would not want to give my business to them.

I had been longing to go here and finally a couple weeks ago got the chance! It was a Friday night and last minute we head on over and probably get there around 7ish? Well the lady working was super nice and gave us half off since the sun was setting and said we could play until it got too dark and we couldn't see anymore. So that's what we did!!! We played some super fun and quick speedy golf and got about halfway through the holes so it was definitely worth it! I can't wait to go back and play the whole course and also try night golf!!! Such a fun hidden gem right in the center of town! read more

Super fun! A little crowded and it's a tight space, several balls from other holes/groups came flying into our area. I credit the unskilled golfer for these incidences but they definitely squeezed a lot into a small space. Everyone is very friendly, the holes are easy to navigate, and the beer cooler at hole 5 are key. It's a great activity for groups! You just need a little patience and know this is a very casual course. read more

Best described as a hidden jewel inside Austin. Was told it was a golf course until a few years ago. Now, it's a 9 hole, par 3 course. You'll only need 3 clubs and few beers to get it done. Shouldn't take much longer than an hour to finish on a busy day. If you're a decent golfer, who likes to have a good time, this is your place. read more

This is a great par 3 course for an even better price. The course is very fun especially the first hole. I got a hole in one on the first tee with everyone watching and there was no place I'd rather spend my 15 minutes of fame. They also have some of the best beer deals in the city read more

For us locals this is always been a great spot and is currently an awesome place to come and have fun.

Love this place! I have a love/hate relationship with golf. It's one of those sports where if you're having a good day, it's amazing, but if you're hitting slice after hook, the round can't end soon enough. Butler is perfect because as a 3-par, short course, it's hard to have a bad day here! I visited over the summer during COVID and had a great time enjoying the course with my husband. You booked online, so interaction was minimal. Plus, the course is only $10/person - so a pretty affordable day date. It had rained the day before, so the course was a little soggy, but didn't damper our experience. It looks like Butler is currently closed as they undergo some maintenance and TLC. Can't wait for them to reopen and hope they stick around for the foreseeable future. An Austin gem for sure! read more

Butler is the 8th wonder of the world. And a huge reason for that is Nick and his team. Nick is so much more than your "average" golf coach. My game has completely transformed since working with Nick. He has all of the knowledge and expertise to help you grow, but also brings so much creativity and fun to each lesson. He does a great job of breaking things which makes it approachable for anyone to learn how to play. I always leave my lessons with Nick feeling like I hung out with a friend for an hour, learned a ton, and feel even more excited about the sport. For all the fellow ladies out there - I know how intimidating it can feel to get involved in a male-dominated sport like golf... but Nick and his team have always been so incredibly welcoming and non-judgmental to me and my friends. They run an awesome ladies league that is so fun regardless of your skill level while still being competitive. I love how Nick and his team have made such an effort to grow the game of golf to anyone/everyone who is interested. I can't say enough amazing things about Nick and the entire Butler team! read more

What a fun concept! My husband called this "putt putt 2.0" and that's the perfect description. For someone who wants to go play a game or golf but doesn't like the idea of needing the skills to drive a ball far and be surrounded by seasoned players... this is the place for you. There are 9 holes with the lengths ranging from around 60-100 yards. You don't have to be an experienced golfer to have fun at butler pitch and putt - it can be as casual as you want it to be! When you first arrive you go into the shop to purchase game play along with any balls and club rentals. This is also where you'd go to purchase any drinks. They do have a drink cart set up around hole 3/7 so you don't need to buy drinks in the shop to carry around the whole time. Once you pay for game play, you'll be directed to someone standing outside next to a ball holder where you place your golf ball to grab a spot in line. The one downside is you'll need to check back every now and then to see where you are in line since it'll be your groups turn once your golf ball is at the front of the holder! Outside the shop there are plenty of things to keep you busy while you wait. You can find anything from outdoor TVs, cornhole, and picnic tables. There is also a little putting area where you can practice while you wait. Our group had a great time. We will definitely be back to play another time! read more

Cool spot, poorly managed. If you decide to go, be ready to have large groups of "regulars" break all the rules, cut in line and management do nothing. We waited with our kids for over an hour just to have a group of over 20 men cut in line in front of us resulting in us not being able to play. Management told us they were regulars and basically that they weren't going to do anything about it. We had driven in from Liberty Hill to play and weren't able to. Left with kids crying. Won't be back. read more
