Jimmy Clay Golf Course

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.

Called to ask for a tee time and the guy had a horrible attitude and I was mid question and he said “thank you” and hung up on me. Other than the couple of the people that work at the course it’s nice

Always a positive experience playing with other golfers here. I love to golf and it is nice to meet others who are friendly and fun to golf with

Course was ok. Pace of play was fast prob bc it was so hot. Range was closed, which isn’t a big deal but would of been nice to get an email, text, or smoke signal. Arrived early to get in a few warm swings but wasn’t able too. Amenities weren’t poor just the communication of them being unavailable.It’s the closest course so of course I’ll be back hundreds more times.

Really enjoyed the course. Our pace of play was under 4 hours

The course has made a decent comeback from previous summers of dried out greens. They are cut tall so the ball doesn’t roll very well and the lines don’t break as much as you think while putting. Left a lot of putts short since it feels unusual to push through the ball that much. The trade off is the ball bites on approach if you can fly it up. Overall decent conditions for this time of year on a course that see’s a ton of traffic. Only complaint is they still are not putting out water jugs on the course, which feels criminal.

Just moved to the area and live near Jimmy Clay. I really enjoyed the layout. Conditions were fair but not terrible. The greens were shag carpeting but hopefully they will get them shaved down. Overall, good bang for your buck.

Good course for the money but the greens need some TLC. Lots of rough patches causing putts to jump around . It will come back around in good shape once the patches are fixed

Overall jimmy clay is a phenomenal layout and is quite fun to play. However, the condition of the greens are poor to say the least. Most every green has sandy areas and bumps everywhere. Even with a good approach youll be lucky to have an unobstructed and “clean” path to the hole. Does eventuality get frustrating when you have good looks at par or birdie and a bump destroys the speed or line of your putt a quarter way through. Again, jimmy clay is a very fun course however it fails to compete even with its sister course Roy Kiser because of the greens. Hopefully the greens improve and honestly ill probably still play here sometimes if im looking for something cheaper. If youre not opposed to spending an extra $20 then maybe play somewhere else.

With the number of players these two courses handle daily, the city of Austin could turn it into a golf Mecca. It’s time the parks department put some money into these two courses and improved the playing conditions. COME ON ATX!
