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.

Great Pace!!
Course in good shape. Pace was great and good thing because winter hit as we were finishing up.
Good Course but VERY Crowded
I like this course and have played here before, but today it was so so crowded. They started us almost 30 minutes late and we waited between 5 and 10 minutes every hole for the folks in front of us. They had people in front of them and we had at least two groups right behind us.
10th Plus Time playing
I enjoy this course. It’s close to my house and it’sa challenging course. I’ve played here at least 10 times and probably closer to 20 times. Overall I do recommend this course. Hit’em straight and long
Great municipal course
This was my first time playing this course and I really enjoyed it. The conditions were good and the pace of play was good for a Saturday. I would definitely play again.
Nice course, over the top staff
I enjoyed the golf course and the two gentlemen we were paired up with that day. We finished 18 in four hours which is very good time. Though the way we were treated by the course rangers was ridiculous. The two gentlemen were older and could only hit the ball about 150 yds max. They had a handicap cart due the the one gentlemen playing the first time he’s been allowed to due to hip replacement. You could tell by watching him he was doing the best he could. But the rangers followed us and kept on us to speed it up, which I’ve played golf for forty year and we were moving at a good pace. Four hours from first ball hit to finished is very standard anywhere. I think there Problem was we didn’t keep up with the twosome in front of us. I felt really bad for this two 75+ years old gentlemen. Almighty dollar overrides understanding and common sense again.
Texas municipal golf
Golf course is ok. Price is very good and easy access. Practice facility is A+. Staff is just ok. Greens are slow and fuzzy. Municipal golf
Great Layout
The layout has a lot of doglegs and it challenges you big time. If you can shape shots and are accurate off the tee you can tear this course up. Pace of play was 4/5 only because the group in front of me kept stopping to talk in the carts for minutes at a time. The tee boxes/fairways/rough was in fantastic condition. Greens are running true and I’m good shape with exception of 4 holes where there is patches (then had grounds crew at each of the greens that needed help fixing it ) overall a really fun 18 holes to play, would recommend to any scratch to mid handicap players
One of my Favorite Muni’s
For a municipal course Jimmy Clay is fantastic. The fairways and greens are in really great shape. It’s a really fun course. It’s got some challenges to it but nothing that the average golfer wouldn’t love. I love playing Jimmy Clay. Most importantly it’s fun. For me a course that challenges you but also doesn’t leave you frustrated is great and Jimmy has it for sure. Go have fun.
Nice layout
The course was green everywhere but the greens weren't rolling smoothly.
Long time Jimmy Clay
I've been playing Jimmy Clay since iopened in early 80's ; always loved it and always will.
Too much money for poor condition
All the greens are fuzzy and slow , they have serious damage on them and speeds are inconsistent. The 2 pairs in front of use took15-20 minutes per hole due to them stopping and looking for extra golf balls in the OB. Very obnoxious.
Fun course. Terrible summer conditions.
The greens have been in terrible shape all summer. A temporary green is installed on 8th hole. It's hard to believe that they still charge full price.
Used to be good. Now it’s a waste of money!
Greens are in lousy shape. Standing water and muddy areas all over. Sixsome in front of us! Awful experience!
