Jimmy Clay Golf Course

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

The course was in decent shape. The greens were fast and mostly rolling well. The teeboxes were awful, need to be redone. Good bargain.

The course was comfortable. but lots of water hazards exist in theses days

I keep seeing reviews and opinions of people I have talked to about how Kizer is so much better than Clay. I just played Kizer a few weeks back and I loved it since it's the only Links type course in Austin. But I have to say I enjoyed the Clay course even better.

Do yourself a favor and give this course a chance.

Out of all the courses in it's class (Bluebonnet, Lions, Mo Williams, etc), I would put this one at the head of the class (just ahead of Mo Williams).

Fairways need a little work but overall course is nice with nice layout of holes. Several dog legs and both short and long par 3's were fun.

I went with 3 friends. I walked because it was 18 compared to 35 to ride. Easy course to walk. It was in the 50s so it was cold and walking will keep me warm. course was great for $18. Greens were smooth and fair. Fairways a little hard, but that's a given at a muni in the winter. All in all course played fair and easy. Only bad thing, leaves everywhere. For the cost well worth it.

It is very challenging, several different types of greens, hidden, island, downhill, 2 uphill, one in a "mountain", be ready to use a high loft club for this one, located in 10th hole. 18 is a huge challenge starting from the tee box, left or right , its woods, green orotected by 2 hughe bunkers. . Im definitively playing this course again as many times as possible. Has 2 courses, the other one is Roy Kizer, more of a links type. Has a par 3 as well, and practice range, with chipping and putting area. Could you ask for more?
