Rating 73.8

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.

Great City Course

The course was in excellent shape! We had a 1:20 p.m. tee time and finished by 5:00 p.m., about what you'd expect on a Saturday with fantastic weather (End of September). I definitely would play again.

It was alright...

Grass to long on most of the course. Spent too much time having to search for our tee shots that only went a few feet into the ruff. Marshal was nit-picky and not friendly.

Greens are Unplayable

It is honestly a disgrace that they have left the greens in the condition they have. Even worse the fact that they charge full price and act like nothing is wrong. Do not play here until the greens are completely re-done

Course condition

Greens are terrible, greens are mostly painted sand with patches of grass. This coures should only be charging for the price of cart rentals. I can say that fairways were in decent condition along with tee boxes. For this time of year here in Texas, greens should be 100% grass and not painted sand.

Horrible greens

They should be ashamed of themselves charging full price only to find out the greens are unplayable. Even the staff felt sorry for us. Don’t spend your money here for a very long time.

Interesting layout

The greens are just horrible, it makes it pointless to even keep your score.

Greens Are Absolutely Horrendous

There’s no grass on the greens. You are actually putting on dirt. And there’s no excuse for not having green greens. And they still charge like they had greens.

Greens don’t exist

I played Jimmy Clay today after not playing it for about nine years. The course overall was great BUT the greens were nothing but dirt. The grass must have had some fungus but there were patches of fuzzy grass over about 10% of each green, the most having about 30%. Putting on dirt was not fun! The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape, the greens were unacceptable. You would think this would come with a discount, nope. The staff at the pro shop didn’t even mention it. It was like a surprise they were proud of and wanted you to be surprised by it. We were shocked once we got to the first green alright. None of us could believe it. Stay away and call before you go to see if this problem has been fixed.

The greens are destroyed. The course has some of the worst greens I have ever played on and I play muni courses on a regular basis. The course itself is a standard mini course, but I would wait for the greens to be repaired before I would pay money to play here.

Greens are unplayable - Mud

Greens are embarrassingly bad. All are completely mud/ burned out grass by weather.

Course should be embarrassed. Terrible experience.

Please fix greens

By reading previous reviews, it obvious that something went wrong at Jimmy Clay's greens earlier this year. Not enough water? Too much fertilizer? Wrong chemicals? Greens don't completely die without a good reason. This was a fun course to play, except for all the greens. Someone needs to figure out how to bring the greens back. IPLEASE GET THIS FIXED. This is a great course and just needs some tender loving care on the greens.
