Jimmy Clay Golf Course

The course is beautiful but the office staff came across as "snobby"

This is a fairly easy and fun to play course, and would get a higher review but the greens are mostly unplayable. There are maybe six greens out of 18 that we're worth putting on. The rest were in very bad shape. I can see they are working hard to recover them. I understand the hard freezes this winter and the drought were big factors. I'll be back when their fixed, but will avoid it until then. The Kizer course next door though us in superb condition. Playing there next week. Highly recommend

The greens are really bad. Don't play unless you don't care to putt.

With as much water as we've had in the last few months, I would have expected Jimmy Clay to be in much better shape. All be two of the greens need to be replaced. Aside from the company and the beer, I was extremely disappointed with the course.

Found a great deal on Golfnow. Fairways in good shape but most greens were very rough.

Good condition except the greens which are having problems

Went out for a round at Clay, had not played it in 6 months or so. The greens were very poor with most of them with very little grass and some were like putting on the face of the moon. The speed of each one was different and honestly most should be closed till they get some grass on them. I moved balls on 4 greens to the same distance just so there would be some semi-smooth ground (not grass) so I could have some chance at a putt. Not a word was said at the pro shop.

Had a great time with this 18 hole course. One of the best features Is no hole is the same. I had to use every club in the bag at some point during the round. Will go back

The greens were in poor condition with lots of bare spots and barely any grass.

Fairways great
All but two greens rough with little or no grass

Played with a buddy (his first time) and we both enjoyed the course. It's always been a hidden gem of Dove Springs. Everything was well-maintained and the only reason it wasn't 5-stars is because of the greens. I overheard there was a fungi issue effecting the greens, and it was very noticeable. Hopefully they can get a grasp on it. Great course for a Muni!

Between disease, drought, and God knows what else, it's been an up and down few years for the greens at Jimmy Clay. It is ongoing, and they're pretty gnarly. Despite this, most of them are rolling okay, and you should get the sense that the staff is trying. Combine that with the affordable rates, the condition of the rest of the course, and good layout, Jimmy Clay -- while years removed from the top of the pecking order of Austin munis -- is still enjoyable.

The greens on the front 9 were terrible. They improved on the back 9, but were still very disappointing. Otherwise, the course was in decent shape. Pace of play was good for a Sunday afternoon with beautiful weather. I would have to check with pro shop about the greens before booking here again. Should have paid the extra $8 and played Roy Kizer instead.

I really enjoyed my round. It was an afternoon round on Sunday and we followed a 5-some so it was nearly 5 hours. Regardless, the course is in good shape.

Everything was great, other than the condition of some of the greens. They need work.

Staff is extremely friendly, professional, and courteous. Corse overall in great condition and personally like the way it's set up.

Jimmy Clay is improving. Whether it's the late winter hanging around or better course management or both, for $39, the course is in very good shape and that is great value.

The only negative was booking though Golf Now. The system booked five players for one tee time. The course shared that this is increasingly occurring through Golf Now and were in discussions with Golf Now on assessing the issue.

The course was in good shape and we played fast....

Love this course. Some holes are wide open, allowing you to swing away... while mixing in a smattering of holes forcing ball placement. The greens were a little slow today but that can be expected this time of the year. The wind was very brisk, forcing higher scores but still beats work any day!

nice course, good staff, reasonable value.. but, where was the course marshall? had two 3-somes jump the course and start on hole 1 versus hole 10 (Tuesday start on hole 10), which speed bumped everyone.. plus the players (older gentlemen) were not concerned with the pace of their play... we had to skip 3 over 2 holes just to avoid a 6 hour day. not good.
