Jimmy Clay Golf Course

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!

Greens are completely gone, putting in my backyard would be better than those greens. Be warned.

The greens are as bad as I have seen them in a long time. Last year was an excuse - the February freeze. There’s no reason they should be this bad now.

In the condition the green are fees should be lowered.

Easily the worst shape I’ve seen the greens at Jimmy Clay in ten years playing there consistently. Bumpy, sandy, and a lot of places just no grass. Your ball is going over the river and through the woods on any putt longer than three feet. They were in decent shape just a few weeks ago, but were in such bad shape when I played on 4/1 that it seemed like maintenance just completely stopped watering them. To see the greens like this on the same day the city raised the rates for the range grinder was very disappointing. We’re paying more money for a much worse experience.

Course in great shape. Greens can use some work. Overall good course for time of year.

Greens were rough and slow. Everything else was good to go.

Nice course but this time around greens were very rough really asking for some care. Nice course, nice people good potential.

I have played Clay in the past and enjoyed the course. I was disappointed in the condition of the course. Many of the greens had sections that weren't really playable. The fairways might come back if watered well, but it was disappointing to hit a fairway and end up with a hard, unplayable lie. I would recommend this to a friend, but only with a Hot Deal kind of green fee.

The conditions of all the greens are terrible. Bumpy and missing grass.

The course is a good value for price but greens are in really bad shape.

I played this course in 34 degree weather with a couple guys. We had a good time. Looks like the greens had been sanded a week earlier but all was good.

This can be a challenging, fun course. I finally figured out how to play hole 18. I smoked a long drive with a slight cut and ended up 114 yds out. I’ve always payed up with 3 wood but you have a bigger opening than you think. Hit driver.

Go play Jimmy! Good food also

I hadn’t played Jimmy Clay in at least ten years, and had completely forgotten how wacky the course layout was - well, wacky, but still pretty enjoyable. The greens were somewhat disappointing, too, but it appeared that they had recently been aerated or gone through some other maintenance procedure. Other than that, it was still a thoroughly enjoyable round of golf for a day in mid-February, so I can’t really complain too much.

You might as well be putting on a dirt field. Price for a round is overpriced based on the condition of the greens,
