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.

Small greens put premium on ball striking. Newly aerated greens but still decent green roll.

Some rough spots on fairways and tee boxes. Staff was friendly. Pace of play was good. For $25 at 11 on Saturday, it's a good deal.

The layout was good. The greens were fast. Bunkers in good condition. The fairways need to come in more, the lies are tight.
