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
Great value.
Course, greens and fairways way above average for a Muni course. Would definitely return.
Nice course, rude staff
It has been pretty wet recently in Austin. The driving range was closed, no carts were offered other than walking carts, which were $10 extra.
I pre-paid for a motorized cart and was told to contact GolfNow for a refund, not sure how to do that since they don't have a Customer Service contact I can find.
I played solo. Pace of play was great, I only came across 1 group in front of me and they let me play through. Never ran into another group or solo.
Played 18 holes in 3 hours as the course was closing.
Lady in the clubhouse was rude before the round and after.
Currently, Very Very Good Course
I have played this course many times. Currently, the course is in great shape. A few greens are still recovering from aeration but still in very good condition. Every where I looked was very pleasing. Everything is green and pretty. Right now is t Jimmy Clay’s golf course time. Take advantage!
Austin Neighborhood Golf Course
Played the front nine as I had booked the Twilight time. Enjoyed the course as it was well kept, & had challenging holes.
Grateful day of golf
All good. I am surprised conditions are this good with the intense dry heat. We liked everything about it and will play there every time in Austin. Greens and traps all good. Course is fun and fair to both a long hitter or senior.
Jerky Staff
Had a reservation snafu on reservation time. Prepaid. Called to see if I could change schedule. Was told I needed to pay again by an unpleasant cold woman at the golf shop. Won’t book here again.
Pace of play
All was fine, course conditions are looking good! Only negative was pace of play, but that’s the problem with all course that use a 10 minute spread in times.
Not too bad but be aware
Overall the course is in good playing condition.
Take this review with a grain of salt as this is my first time playing Jimmy Clay in some 12+ yrs or so.
Maybe it is the draught and windy conditions that dried up the course, but the ground was very firm- it was really windy and thinning a long iron went further than center-hit driver into the wind.
The greens were a definite challenge- in a given 10+ ft putt, you can expect about 3 different green speeds. Bumpy and slow, but some parts of the greens rolled very true.
