Jimmy Clay Golf Course

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.

Course was in good condition for the drought we have had. Some spots on the greens were bare where the Poanna weed had died but overall well kept.

So pretty much get what you pay for here... older municipal couse in South end of town.Greens were in rough shape, but no rain for a month has probably contributed to that. Speed of play was good for a Sunday afternoon - didn't have to wait much. Otherwise, 18 and a cart for $30 is pretty much the top value for a round at this place right now. Want to try Kizer (newer) to see if it's in any better shape... seems harded to get a tee time on that 18.

The course is in very good shape. Greens could be better. I enjoyed playing.

the greens were patchy at best and had just been airated

Had an awesome time. Great course, must come and see for yourself!

I usually have fun on the course but this day due to the sanded greens it really threw my putting game off which resulted in a frustrating time. I will play there again but will be more careful in checking whether or not there has been any sort of maintenance done prior to booking.
