Jimmy Clay Golf Course

Jimmy Clay is a muni course that is run and groomed like a club. The greens keepers have done a remarkable job throughout the long hot summer. The fairways produce nice, tight lies and the greens roll true.

I lost two balls in the first cut due to longer than normal grass and you had to step on top of your ball to find it. Apparently I wasn't the only one losing balls because I found 8 balls all within 10 feet of the short grass.

That will be corrected with a quick mow. I was there the day after a big rain. The course drains wonderfully with only a handful of muddy spots.

The course was so nice came back after a few days and played again. Pace of play was again under 4 hours and that was after rain making it cart path only. Greens were in very good shape and most of the traps seemed fine. One was with water but it could be expected. Again inside staff very helpful and the practice range was in good shape. We will certainly be back

Visiting Austin and closest course was here. Driving range and practice green in good shape. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Really felt at home. Course was challenging but not frustrating. Greens were in good shape and a little tricky. Misread a few. Played the 18 holes in 3 42. Groups all moved well. Hope the rain stops so we can get another round in there. Thanks for a great day

Hats off to the superintendent and the staff that maintain Jimmy Clay. The fairways were plush and the greens were good. Considering the heat and lack of rain, they have kept all the grass healthy. I did not see any fungus patches on the greens. They were a little fuzzy when I played but rolled true.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

Bring your water this. Municipal courses doesn’t provide basic water to drink . Even it’s been over 100 degrees .

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 .,
