Butler Pitch & Putt is a beloved nine-hole golf course located in downtown Austin, offering a unique experience with views of Lady Bird Lake. Established over 70 years ago, this park spans 7 acres and is integrated with the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail. While the course has a cool atmosphere and affordable pricing for rentals, visitors often face long wait times, especially on weekends, with some reporting waits of up to two hours. Groups can range from 2 to 6 people, and the slow pace of play can be frustrating, with players waiting for multiple groups at each hole.
Despite the inefficiencies and sometimes dismissive customer service, many guests enjoy the overall experience. The food truck, particularly known for its fries, is a highlight, and the friendly beer cart service adds to the fun. However, parking can be a challenge, so visiting during off-peak hours is recommended. For those seeking a casual outing, Butler Pitch & Putt remains a spot worth trying, especially on weekdays when the pace may be more manageable.
Come Monday- Thursday if you can. Weekends you’ll wait 2-3 hours. Then you’ll wait for the group in front of you who is waiting for the group in front of them. No longer BYOB.

Not a bad spot! Could be better for the price but it’s a fun spot to go with friends. I took my boyfriend here for a date and we had a good time overall
