Jimmy Clay Golf Course

Love the layout for a daily fee but the greens are poor. It has been this way for some time and I believe they will have to been totally redone.

Fairways in great shape, the greens had just been sanded and seeded so in a couple of weeks these should also be great. Excellent value, the course is long and has several challenging holes.

The proshop had foursomes going off 2 - 4 minutes after one another, they seemingly could care less as to your golfing experience being enjoyable but were trying to cram as many people onto a course at one time. This was frustrating the two to three foursomes in front of us as well as the two to three behind us. EVERY single person I encountered made a comment about how they were just getting greedy and did not care about quality..

I really like playing Jimmy Clay and enjoyed our round. However, the greens were in awful shape, I felt like we were putting on dirt half the time.

This is an interesting layout but conditions, even for a muni, are poor.

Course in good condition except for the greens.
There are some people that go on the course to "learn and teach", and realy gold people back. Took my 4some 3-1/2 hours to do the front nine, so instead of going to the back 9 we did the front nine again

I've played at Jimmy Clay before and the greens were much better than they are now. It needs a lot of attention.

Jimmy Clay is easy to get on to play, inexpensive, it's a fun course for all skill levels (I'm a high handicapper and I always enjoy the round here), it's always a good pace of play, the course has interesting holes, there are no houses on the course, all in all it's a great course.

This course was in very good condition! A few of the greens were poor but over all it was very good

I like to get back to JC every now and then. It has a few holes that are fun to try and work the ball on here and there. But if it's a 'dry' time, then the fairways can get a bit harder than average. Except for an exception or two, I've found that they do okay in keeping the fairways and greens in shape. Either way, there's a good amount of #wide# open fairways to help you scramble as needed.

They have had a terrible time with the JC greens. I hadnt played out there in over a year and thought they might have fixed it. The adjacent 9 hole course and Kizer have nice greens. Only thing I could think is maybe they are watering the greens with gasoline? maybe they should pave them??????

I have not played this course in awhile. I definitely like the changes they made to the original course layout. The island green is a great feature. The one negative is the greens are currently in poor shape. Hopefully, they will improve with the coming spring.

I've played Jimmy Clay several times this past year and have always enjoyed the course. The pace of play has ranged from 3 3/4 to 4 1/2 hours. The greens are now in better shape than they were earlier in the year. I would rate this course an average value for the money if paying full price. I have played for $14 to 22.50 through Golfnow.

Unfortunately, golfnow provides the course conditions after you pay the fee. Also, the 4-some behind my 3-some decided to hit into us on 3 holes. The course management allowed a 6-some in front of us and we were being held up, thus the 4-some may have gotten inpatient, but it was not our fault. Poor course "mgmt".

Beautiful day on Jimmy Clay in SE Austin yesterday. There are a few greens they have lost but the fairways are in great condition for the winter. Great value w/ cart and good pace of play, overall an enjoyable round!

I've played at Clay/Kizer numerous times. It's been a while since playing on Clay, but overall I thought the course was pretty bad. One of the great things about Texas golf is that it's available year round. Northerner a flock to the state every year and most courses prep for the onslaught after summer. Clay didn't it appears. The greens were terrible! Mown so short that had any watering occurred overnight you'd be putting in mud patches in the morning. The practice greens were in better condition. Tees and fairways were good, but the green conditions really ruined the round for me. I think I'll stick to my other regular course on the northeast side of town that is really good about their greens. At this time of year, I can't recommend a course that can't keep their greens in better shape I cooler weather than they do during a Texas summer drought. Try them in spring/summer months.

The layout is fun, challenging at times, wide open others. The greens are suffering right now, usually is pristine condition but I think they have a fungus that is causing problems that can and I am sure will be fixed. Really like playing this course and will continue to do so regardless of the greens because you can still putt with enough reliability. The rest of the course is very good.

The course greens need attention. Fun to play for all levels, staff friendly and plenty of parking.

It was awkward at first since I wasn't familiar with this course, however, I truly did enjoy the course. I couldn't finish the game since my 60 degree club went missing or lost.

I havent played Jimmy Clay in 3 years and only once back then. I forgot how nice the set up is for a muni course. It's easy for the low handicapper because of the wide fairways but that's not me and I found it to be challenging, especially with the length of some of the holes. A friend played with me and had never been to JC before and he loved it. Some sparse areas on several greens and fairways but its been a dry fall. It's worth the money, especially if its booked on golfnow.
