Jimmy Clay Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

A beautiful design. Photo submitted by idream0fg0lf on 11/26/2012
Reasonable- nice layout
Good value. Missing some grass but mostly due to the time of the year and after the big snow. Most be very nice later in the year.
Meh
Fairways are bare for the most part. Greens are deceptively slow, especially downhill putts. Love the layout for the most part, just wish they could put more resources into greens, tee boxes and fairways (in other words, everything).
great value, good muni.
It's a good course for the money, I play it the most bc it's close to my house. The staff are pretty nice, the course conditions vary depending on what season it is. Overall a great place to play with your buddies on the weekend. Pace of play is always a little slow but I've always been lucky to get paired up with a friendly group.
Not worth playing, play Kizer instead
Course in bad shape, fairways had hardly any grass, even used a tee in some places because i was sick of hitting off tin pan lies. Lots of muddy areas, annoying and hole 13 was shut done due to irrigation work. Only thing good about the course was the greens but the rest was not good.
I recommend playing Kizer instead, night and day difference between the 2 courses which is odd since i assume they use the same maintenance crew.
Jokes un playable
They told me once I got there one hole was under repair, turns out 2 holes were in prepared, and the Marshall couldn’t do or didn’t do anything about a 2 some slowing down the entire course
Make sure irrigation construction is complete
greens were in great shape. Fairways were in descent shape for this time of year. Was unable to play two holes due to ongoing construction/replacement of pipes for irrigation system. Would recommend asking if they have completed the construction before playing. Hopefully it will make the course better/greener later during the summer months.
2:40 Tee time
Course is jam packed. We got through 10 holes in 3 hours before it turned dark. Constantly waited on groups in front
Greens were slow and had no break but other than that great value for your money and a fun course to play.
Nice hidden Jem
The course was very well kept. Greens were slow. Hole #9 was in repair and could not play it. Fairways were in great shape except for hole #1. The golf pro was not friendly and acted like he was doing you a favor by letting you play. I'll pay this one again in spite of unfriendly staff.
Never finished 18 at this course
Always a slow pace of play here. Conditions were great - October 2020
