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
Front and Back Reversed
Play started on 10 and finished on 9. This has been going on for a very long time. Management might consider renumbering the holes. Other than that, the course is in great condition and the pace of play was 4:00 on a Wednesday afternoon.
Good cousre
Jimmy Clay is a fun course. It's a little more difficult than Roy Kizer, however the wind is not as bad, as Kizer. Clay has more trees. I have read other reviews were golfer's have had issues with staff. I never have the staff is always gracious and accommodating. Roy Kizer is in a little better shape than Jimmy Clay right now. I play both Clay and Kizer and they are both great courses.
Course conditions and pace
Love this course with major improvements on tee boxes and greens. Fairways are hard as a rock with limited grass. Rangers did a horrible job of keeping pace going allowing singles and doubles not to group up. The bathrooms were being renovated, so had porta potties which is fine, but there was no soap avail for cleaning hands.
We played in the pouring rain but conditions held up pretty good. Greens are still pretty firm and fast. Considering Mo Willy's been struggling recently, we'll be playing here and Lions for awhile in ATX.
One of those annoying rounds where rain basically cleared off the whole golf course except the slow foursome ahead of us. What can you do.
Cold day
It was brisk which helped with pace of play...not many people out. Greens need some love but were in pretty good shape.
Very good condition for winter
Unlike the Roy Kizer course ... This one has different layout with trees in play ... Condition is very good for winter and for sure it is very nice in the other seasons ... Fairways are green and the greens are rolling pretty good ... Design for all skill levels and the staff were accommodating... Will be back if in the area again.
Sandy greens
Things should be normal again in 10 days. Snack bar is temporarily closed. Clay is a classic muni. Nice value from Golf Now.
Good track.....greens are rolling beautifully right now.
Just wanted to say that the greens are exceptional right now. Jimmy Clay remains a fun layout with a few challenging holes. Three hours and 40 minutes for my threesome today.
Disappointing
They send my group off behind not one but two fivesomes,
15 minutes late. Three groups on every hole. I left after 4 hours having played only 13 holes. All they care about is money, awful golf experiences
Sunday play
The course was in good condition. My team time was delayed by 20 minutes do to two 5somes ahead of us and the pace of play went downhill from there. Luckily it was a nice day to play.
Slow
This is at least my 10th time playing here and I can only remember maybe twice i finished this course in 4 hours.
The worse thing about this course is SLOW play. It took my 5 hours to play my last round. I waited on every single hole.
The good thing is I only paid $24.00 bucks, which made it worth the wait.
Great layout -Good conditions
Jimmy Clay is the much harder older brother of Roy Kizer. It was in better shape overall and the layout was much more difficult. If the greens are in good shape which they were when i played there then definitely try this course out
Best value
Course in excellent condition.
Nice layout and very affordable!
First time playing at this golf course. Very nice layout and affordable. We finished the round with cart in less than 4hrs.
