Jimmy Clay Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

A beautiful design. Photo submitted by idream0fg0lf on 11/26/2012
Great course, easy and fun, well kept. However, unsure if it's because of the time our tee time (6pm) was at, but paid for the full 18 and only was allowed to play back 9. I feel like it should be half the rate we paid for if we're only allowed to play the back 9 imo.
Onward through the fog
I played Jimmy clay many times but the other day was by far the best condition I've ever seen it in ready to play was good price was good it's definitely a good course to play
Good Value
Good value. If you're a serious player this course may not be challenging enough for you but for me, an every once in awhile player that has enough problems on my own, I appreciated the mostly forgiving design of this course. Everything was in good shape. Greens were well maintained especially for being in the middle of a historic drought. Not super fast but definitely faster than other Austin courses at this price point. A handful of moderately tight fairways but also a handful of very generous fairways. Staff was very friendly, they got us out right on time, and play moved along pretty smoothly especially for a Friday afternoon.
Cart Path Only Signs
I don’t know why it is cart path only on holes 3 and 8. Those signs have been up for at least 25 years and I don’t see the purpose. The fairways are just like the fairways on all the other holes.
Maybe there was a reason in the day they went. Someone forgot to take them down when the reason was no longer valid. And they became permanent fixtures.
Not Exactly Barton Creek, But A Great Value!
With the temporary shutdown of Roy Kizer, its adjacent companion course, Jimmy Clay is experiencing heavy use, but is managing to hold up pretty well, despite the drought conditions we’re enduring.
Hot summer
Bring your water this. Municipal courses doesn’t provide basic water to drink . Even it’s been over 100 degrees .
100 degree .
This course is FUN and challenging. . Course is in fair condition for Texas summer .
However NO Drinking water at the course.!,,,. Over 100 degree summer! In the beginning was Covid and now what ? If someone dehydrated and pass out has to be on them .
Nothing to do with Covid just being cheap and try to make money on beverages …that’s what I think .,
Great Course, But So Crowded
This place packs as many golfers onto the course as it can. I’ve played here several times bc it’s in close proximity to where I live. The course itself is great, but you’ll be hard pressed to play a round in under 5 hours.
