Jimmy Clay Golf Course

About
Jimmy Clay Golf Course opened in 1974 with a 6,931 yard Joe Finger design that incorporates Williamson Creek. This track is flat as well, and is noted for its generous fairways and large, elevated greens. The first and last holes are perhaps the most memorable. No. 1 serves up a blind approach shot over a hill into a skinny green, and the 400-yard doglegged 18th plays into the wind with water on the left side.

Conditions are good 8/30/25
Course is in great shape. Tee boxes have some crab grass but nothing that hinders your shot if you tee up. Fairways all have good grass and the greens are over seeded and furry. This makes putting a little slow but cutting the greens lower risks bare spots. It’s a good call and it makes for great stopping power on your approach shots. Also takes the break out of a lot of putts and makes you read the grain direction. This combination makes for great scoring opportunities. Also running a bev cart which was great. If you play in Austin you know the pace hasn’t changed. 4.5 hrs standard.

I really enjoyed this course. It was challenging... but was in excellent condition. Nice fairways and greens, very good pace of play
Great value.
Course, greens and fairways way above average for a Muni course. Would definitely return.
Nice course, rude staff
It has been pretty wet recently in Austin. The driving range was closed, no carts were offered other than walking carts, which were $10 extra.
I pre-paid for a motorized cart and was told to contact GolfNow for a refund, not sure how to do that since they don't have a Customer Service contact I can find.
I played solo. Pace of play was great, I only came across 1 group in front of me and they let me play through. Never ran into another group or solo.
Played 18 holes in 3 hours as the course was closing.
Lady in the clubhouse was rude before the round and after.
Currently, Very Very Good Course
I have played this course many times. Currently, the course is in great shape. A few greens are still recovering from aeration but still in very good condition. Every where I looked was very pleasing. Everything is green and pretty. Right now is t Jimmy Clay’s golf course time. Take advantage!
Austin Neighborhood Golf Course
Played the front nine as I had booked the Twilight time. Enjoyed the course as it was well kept, & had challenging holes.
