Jimmy Clay Golf Course

Course in good shape, but greens were poor. Browned out, very dry. Had fertilizer on them, so hope they will bounce back with some water.

Course in great shape, greens in good shape and staff very accommodating

Jimmy Clay is a very solid Muni in South East Austin. While I think it is the poorer cousin to Roy Kizer, conditions wise, it can be a challenging layout for golfers of any level.

18th hole is one of the most difficult holes in Austin. The first 3 holes can eat you up if you are not careful too. Lots of trouble left.

The Practice facilities are also excellent. Excellent par 3 course (fairways are great for practicing - greens aren't great). The driving range is also excellent.

Likely a good course at one time, greens were below average, pace of play slow, four hours and forty five minutes. The greens need to improve before I return.

I put this squarely on GolfNow...they didn’t advise anyone that the greens were going to be punched or adjust the price. They always throw the staff under the bus but this has happened too often to be a coincidence.

Course is in more consistently great shape than other munis in the area and for no more than $40 for a round most days it’s hard to beat. Fun layout with some challenging holes depending on what tees you play from.

Got in an impromptu 18 during the work week and managed to walk 18 holes in a three-ball in about 3 hours flat. Felt like stealing.

Clay is my favorite layout among the Austin munis and that includes Grey Rock. I just don't play here enough because Mo and Muny are closer. I think it has nearly the perfect amount of trees on it (okay, maybe 3 and 18 have a few too many) and the roll to the land is gentle but interesting. Holes require you to shape it both ways. Some you must be cautious. On others you can let it rip. One thing I noticed on this round was all these little pockets of native grasses that are well off playing corridors that add a nice aesthetic. The course really is looking good, even if I caught it about a week after aerification. (That said, I had just 30 putts). The fairways were about as carpet-like as munis get in Texas.

I'm especially cheesing because I parred 3 and 18. I never par those holes. Cheers y'all.

Nice pace if play even though lots of people were out. Greens were just so-so. Not too bad but some bumpy rides. You can see in the photo. Bunker sand was pretty good. Bev cart and ranger made it around a few times. Plenty of water coolers.

Overall, the course was in really good condition, probably the best shape I have ever seen. I can't put my finger on it, but the greens were missing something. That's the only reason I didn't give it five stars.

Okay was slow due to too many players booked at each tee time. We quit after 9 holes.
