Jimmy Clay Golf Course

Only two greens had dirt and sand all others were good. The 3 hole tee box on the whites was terrible.

You could not put any and I mean any tee in the ground. Rock hard everywhere. So I had to hit with my three wood and no tee. This was the only tee box like that on the whole course. Otherwise the course is in really good shape right now.

Good course...will play again. Good layout and greens were in great shape. Stay in the fairway or it's a challenge to find your ball in the rough.

Pace of play was tough with all of the players walking but we did play on a Saturday so it was expected.

With recent rains, course is in good shape. Can get pretty firm when there has not been rain. Very nice for the money - great value.

Ok last time I set an tee time though this golfnow site I payed $1.00 to reserve a tee time, I payed $26.00 at the redgister. Great deal , all the reasons I love golfnow. But this past Tuesday 5/10 I payed $26.00 through golfnow's site than payed the same amount at the redgister. ( what gives ). So I payed double. Is that right or no?

Decent golf course for a muni. I rank Mo' Willy higher than this course in terms of course conditions, but in terms of staff friendliness and pace of play, this course far out does Mo' Willy. The fairways and tee boxes are super hard, but that's pretty typical of these areas, especially when there's little rain. Overall, the course was pretty nice, with lots of mature trees in some of the holes, which makes it challenging. The course needed a little be of TLC in some parts, but nothing to complain about especially being a muni. The greens were tough to read and hard to judge the speed, but nonetheless they were in pretty decent shape.

The driving range was really nice, they actually let you hit from the grass unlike Mo' Willy were you can only hit irons from the artificial turf.

I would definitely come back to this course, especially because it's challenging, it's centrally located, nice staff and the pace of play is decent.

I had previously played Roy Kizer and enjoyed it, so I played Jimmy Clay as well. The course was in terrible condition, the greens were basically rock. The layout was ridiculous as well, with 90 degree angle dog legs. Skip the round here and play next door.

For a muny course this one has always been challenging and fun. It has some tight fairways and lots of sand. The course is in good shape and right now the greens are good with all the rain we've had.

Although it's not as scoreable as kizer, it's still a fun course to play!

5 somes walking. Pace of play at least 6 hours.

For a public course that gets lots of play Jimmy Clay is a very good course.Several fairways are narrow enough to require good shots making ability, and the greens were in fine condition. I highly recommend this course.

I hadn't played Jimmy Clay since it was closed for the better part of last year for a redo of the greens and the driving range. I've always been a fan of Clay's layout more than Kizer (at the same facility), but the greens have always seemed to hold it back.

The new Tifdwarf Bermuda greens were rolling really nicely. They are pretty firm, as it seemed most of my approach shots would roll quite a bit after landing. But that's a positive compared to how splotchy and soft they'd normally been in the past. Guys in my group were rolling putts in from all over the place.

I was also surprised at the pace. We played as a Five-ball on a Sunday morning and got around in just over 4 hours. I was also shocked to see, at the 10th hole, a ranger come by and wipe down some of our clubs and zip off. This is a muni?

Anyways, it's been good to see the munis at Austin get some TLC in recent years and hopefully the new greens are able to thrive despite all the play this course gets. I'll definitely be back.

course fairways were dry and hard. Drives were at times 280-320 which just left wedge shots. Not what I like to play. Would like some variety. Greens were also hard and wouldn't even hold wedge shots. There's plenty of water in the hazards, need to use some of it.

Fairway were dry and hard and the greens were fast

great course for the beginning golfer. fairly difficult for those with slice and draw in their swing. friendly staff and good price on bucket of balls to get started with before round.

first time i had played clay since the work had been done and i thought it was in good shape and the greens were in good shape. enjoyed the round.

Nice course, great pace of play 3 1/2 hours. Greens are nice, smooth & fast.

Recently reopened after a large renovation of the greens and some changes to a couple of holes. They did a fantastic job. Greens were emasculate! Great day! I have been back playing golf again after a 10 year lay off and this was the first time I shot under 100, so I was very happy!!

didn't expect the course to be in such good shape at this point in the year. Grass was in good condition all over the course, almost zero burn out from the sun. Greens were in great shape, pretty firm but rolled extremely well. Definitely my new go-to for austin municipals.

The course just re-opened not long ago and it was in excellent condition. Challenging for a beginner like me but definitely playable.

Once the driving range gets complete it will be even better.

So good to see this open again. The renevation did it well, and it's in the best condition I've seen it in 10 years...and primed to get even better. Fairways haven't been trampled for the better part of a year which has them plush and like a nice soft carpet. The greens have ridden of their spots, are slightly long (per usual) but putting true, firm but supple and I think on the way to becoming amongst the top couple publics in the area.

Course is in great shape after just being redone made a bit more friendly some tight fairways but very fun round of golf
