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.

Golfer Reviews
Great course best price
JC has great features and can’ t beat staff friendly attitude.
Great day on Jimmy Clay
I was in a threesome playing behind a group of five and the pace of play was excellent. Finished in 4 hours
Great value
Nice layout with a few challenging holes but quite forgiving. Made for an enjoyable round without being frustrated except for the greens which were very slow. Greens were predictable once you adjusted for having to strike like you were mad at someone.
Good city course.....greens need mowing
Enjoy the JC layout, pace of play was awesome. Staff was great. Fairways were a mixture of minimal grass, some hardpan to very wet areas. Greens were plush and green.....but were very slow. Don't know why they weren't mowed, but made putting very challenging. Great green fees made it more tolerable.
First time to play this course. Was a lot of fun. Very nice course being a muni and will definitely play it again. Bit of a drive for us as we live near Cedar Park and JC is south Austin. Still, nice course and the price was great.
Plain mean
Made us wait 30 minutes, for our time slot even though no one was starting.
Jimmy Clay
The course was in excellent condition, I was really impressed with the farways, greens, tee boxes, the greenskeeper is doing an outstanding job maintaining the course.
Great fun!
I'm from California, here to visit. Lots of courses in SoCal are dry, dead grass. What a bonus to play on live grass, a great lay out under the Texas sky.
excellent course and rate
Course is challenging and in excellent condition. The green fees are very reasonable.
Great value
It isn't most petty golf course but for the money it is great place and nice layout.
Great course for the money
This course is in great shape! Best I've ever seen it. It plays right at 5 hours so you have to just accept it and enjoy the day.
Grrrreeeeeens!!!
Fix the greens! And make sure these course maintenance are out of the way. Or at least give discount to those who are playing during that time or give players heads up about it.
Calling all Marshalls!
At most of Austin's muni courses the single biggest drag is slow and uneven play. I don't know if the Marshall needs to hear about it from me before he lights a fire under someone or correct a foursome who has not even a basic understanding of 'ready golf' but I think even the most casual observer out there could identify where the slow spots are on a given day. I played the front in 1.5 hours this past Sunday and it took an hour longer for the back. That's punitive. And the only reason is a group in front of us who waited for each player to select a club, address the ball, take a swing, admire the results and hold a discussion on the merits of the last shot. It's not too much to ask that we play respectfully out there.
Real Gem
Jimmy Clay has been around a long time but it stands the test of time. Good layout with some challange. Greens are in good shape especially for August.
Highly recommend this course as a good value!
