Style Links
Par 72
Length 6931 yards

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.

Usually a pretty solid golf course, but the greens were browns. On every hole…

Disappointed

I love this course however the putting green are a disaster. Very little grass so you’re putting on sand painted green. I won’t play here again until I read some reviews stating the greens are fixed. I’ve heard both Kizer and Morris Williams are in similar condition.

Greens

the course is awesome. I am just disappointed with the greens. I know it's hard to maintain, but it's putting on concrete. Gotta hit the ball still, but it does not feel like a putting surface.

Greens are dead

Greens are fried. Mud with green spray paint. The rest of the course looks pretty good, guess I’ll have to skip out this summer.

Greens were unplayable

Very disappointed with the condition. Fairways were bare, and greens were bad. Flag positions were impossibly set for condition of greens - when you putt uphill and the ball stops and rolls back to your feet, something is wrong.

Rough shape

Course conditions are not great right now. Play here a lot but the greens are as bad as I have ever seen em. I’d probably wait until the spring.

Course in not great shape

Course in not great shape, super type fairway lies, crappy tee boxes and slow greens. If you want to play a muni go to Mo Willie instead, in better shape.

Didn’t get to plat

I made a tee time for 4:30 and showed up after paying the booking fee. I get into the pro shop and was notified that they were closing in 30 minutes. This is after I drove all the way there - nobody had the decency to let me know ahead of time that they were closing.

Nice course

I bought two t-times from Tee-Off for 12:10 p.m. on a great weather day. It started raining and we had to stop and ask for a raincheck. The pro shop would not give us a raincheck and instead asked us to call Tee-Off and get them to refund our money since I had paid my fees to them. When I called Tee-Off, they refunded most of the money. Other than this hassle, it was a good start to a fair ending. The course was wet with cart path only. I'd play it again.

Really good municipal course

Outstanding value for a municipal course. Good design and nice layout. Really good course conditions. Friendly and helpful staff. Good driving range. Great burgers. Exceptional pace of play for a muni on a Thursday afternoon : under 4 hours for a 4-some (with one walking) and a very s-l-o-w group of players in front of us who were playing from the blue tees when they were barely suited for the forward tees. Big bonus features rarely, if ever, seen on a municipal course: starters and course marshals who actually monitored—and good steps to enforce—tee time assignments and pace of play on the course.
