Morris Williams Golf Course

Course was in great condition! Staff was extremely friendly. Tacos and margarita at the turn were amazing.

One of my preferred Austin muni courses, somewhat challenging and in great shape!

Staff very friendly and the course is very nice and well maintained.

Keep up the great work!

Wasn’t expecting anything fancy showing up to Mo Willy for a last-minute tee time, but I was happily impressed. The practice facilities are dismal, small mat range and one combined putting/chipping green. Tee box for 1 and 10 are basically combined, just aimed in different directions. Combined with the very affordable rate, expectations were low.

However, I was very surprisingly impressed with the quality of the course. The layout is fairly simple and not super challenging by itself - not a ton of punishing misses. That being said, the course is in great shape. Tee boxes were pristine, fairway grass was consistent and pure, and the rough was thick, clean, and challenging to hit out of - an unusual thing to experience at a Muni in the ATX area.

Very fun round with low stress and no judgement (we all know how some courses can be). Bring plenty of water because they don’t have any on the course. They even let you bring your dog as long as it’s well-behaved. Some great views of the skyline, and tons of planes flying right above you into AUS the whole round. Definitely recommend playing at Mo Willy!

Greens are in really bad shape. Sad for how much money they make for being busy these days they can't get the greens fixed. Fairways in good shape but sucks to play a round when the greens are bad.

Pace was also horrible, marshal just drives around and does nothing.

First time at Mo Williams. About 6600 yds from the Blue tees (71.9/128). Only a couple of holes had water, but some of the tee shots were a bit tight or needed a big carry. Was pretty slow, but expected for a weekend. Followed a group playing the tips who should not have been. No marshals on the course, no water, and didn't see a drink cart until #16. Bottleneck at #3 which is a long and challenging par 3 over water. Tee boxes and greens all around need some attention. Overall, enjoyed the round and will go back soon.

Fairways and rough are in great conditions. Greens were in fair condition though a small number of weeds. Pros and cart vendors were nice and informative. Only negative would be that you can't share golf bags. One couple (guy and girl) were teeing off to start a walking round when told they are required to rent a second bag to play. Think it was around $6. Not entirely sure why but they both nailed it down the middle of the fairway. Gotta make those extra bucks where you can.

It has been almost 40 yr since I played Morris Williams and a lot had changed.
The course layout is basically the same. The vegetation has changed dramatically but over all still a great course.
I was a bit unhappy with the greens though. They hadn't smoothed out yet from the Aeration and were still very ruff..
Still looking forward to my next round here.

Absolutely garage greens!! I would rather go play Hancock golf course all day for a fraction of the price!

This was my second time playing here and the course was a lot of fun! The greens had been sanded so they were a bit rough condition wise.

I enjoyed playing here, but I have to say one of the two woman in the pro shop was about as welcoming as a f@rt in a spacesuit. She wanted to penalize me for using GolfNow to buy my round and charge me the full course price for a re-play fee at the end of the day when no more tee times were being sold. She told me I have to keep a receipt next time (when I wasn’t given one).. there are other jobs, if you’re THAT unhappy… leave, mam, otherwise just try being be a kind person.

Thankfully the other woman was kind enough to tell her to just let me pay the $12 repay fee. Thank you!

The greens aren’t in great shape and the pin placements don’t make a lot of sense given the conditions.

Nice course in good condition. Just don’t gauge your putting of the practice green. I rolled a few prior to the round and practice green was like putting on a pool table. The course greens are much slower. Played with a good group of guys and the pace was good for a Friday afternoon.
