Course Highlights
Jimmy Clay consistently delivers well-maintained fairways and greens that stand out for a municipal course, offering exceptional value. The challenging layout rewards players of all skill levels, from long hitters to seniors.

About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Style Links
Par 72
Length 6931 yards
Slope 126
Rating 73.8

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.

Nice to see that the greens are in nice shape. Mid week noon round and pace was good. Finished in under 4 hrs.

First Time Playing

Great course!

It was my first time here and I just stared playing so my review probably won’t hold merit. However, it was pretty with the trees and little lakes. I never hit a tree nor in the water. So win for me! I’ve played at Lions and Riverside and Jimmy was a lot prettier.

Play Roy Kizer instead

This course has a fun and interesting layout. However, it is clearly the lesser of the two behind Roy Kizer. The greens were fuzzy and slow and there was evidence of the construction from last year as the water pipe that had been placed on the sides of the fairways still did not have grass grown over the area and acted as a skinny fairway bunker that went all the way down most fairways.

Fairways good. Pace of play phenomenal

ourse is beautiful, head management is doing a great job. Pace of play was perfect. Bunkers all raked. Cant wait till the ball washers make a comeback.

Greens too soft and too slow!!! The speed of greens was like putting across 1980’s shag carpet. They are in good condition with minimal to almost no pitch marks, just painstakingly slow. Maybe a -3 on the stimp.

Had a great time. I will be playing the Kizer course next time.

Disappointed

This old course is seriously overplayed and worn out. It needs to be closed and reconditioned. No water, no ball washers. No friendliness. Should have played elsewhere.
