Morris Williams Golf Course

Just needs better greens. The rest is super playable.

I play this course probably once a month and the greens are always in the same shape, rough. Today I was paired up with 3 other guys, one has only been playing golf for 6 months and the other two were just hacking it around also( they shot 100+).

So we were off to a slow start and by the time we reached the 3rd tee box the marshall came by and told us to pick up the pace because we were behind by a hold and a half, I had no problem with that. By the time we reached the 9th tee box he was sitting there telling us to pick up the pace of play again but this time there was nobody behind us on the 8th tee box yet. We ended up playing the round of golf in less that 4 hours and felt like we were rushed the entire round. The marshals and employees at this course have no personalities, they are all old, grumpy and sad people that lack customer interaction. They act like you are bothering them when you check in. I always feel like the City should hire some younger staff or staff that enjoy being there at least. They are the reason I don't play this course more often.

This course is close to home. Clean and well managed course.

A little pricey but still worth it.

Layout, fairways and overall course was very good. Greens were bummpy, slow and some bad/dry spots in one third of the greens. Need work on greens.

The course itself was absolutely beautiful and the staff was extremely friendly. Pace of play was nice. Never really had anyone else ahead or behind which was nice. I loved the layout of the course but once you get to the greens it's like putting in cat litter it looks like there may have been grass there at some point but has long been forgotten. I would love to see them fix the greens because this course has the ability to be a great place to play.

Have been playing MW for many years, never have I seen greens in this poor of shape anywhere. Austin has had a wet spring and other courses has reaped the fruits of it. Extremely bare and hard greens, no excuse for these conditions, especially at this time of the year. Will not be back this year, sad. MW should inform everyone making tee times about the shape of the greens before accepting fees.

I have played this course once before and it was great. However, this last round was one to forget. The course layout is unique and fun to play, but the green's were in the worst condition I have seen. We were basically putting on painted sand. Not worth the money or the time it took which was another major issue. The pace of play was terrible. Over 4.5 hrs to complete a round. I will be taking my money else where for now.

The greens are gone and by gone I mean they hardly are holding grass. Number 14 is covered in pure Algae. It's crusted and taken over the green. No excuses as the temperature and rain as be AMAZING all "winter" this course used to have solid muny greens but NW its not worth $20 much less $40. Won't be back. Will try again in 6 months (no way they turn these greens any sooner)

Good course. Good fairways. Been in bad shape, partly due to time of year. Very friendly staff.

Went out on a wet day. Course was fairly water logged, cart path only, but playable. Fairways were in good shape, but the greens were awful. Even if they had been dry, they were only about 20% grass. The rest was just dirt. Will not go back until they have a chance to regrow them.

Course is close to my son's House. We thought we would give it a try. We really enjoyed the course and nestled into one of the best areas of Austin. We plan on being regulars

The greens at Morris Williams are in terrible condition. The worst part is they get like this each "winter" season. The course was redesigned in the last 5 years and in my option they build the greens way too big and apparently used a grass that turns to mud in the winter. Overall this course is not worth playing right now - at any price!

Great Course, but for some reason they did not over seed the greens this winter. They are horrible, pitted and mostly mud, tons of cleat marks because there is no grass..........Wait until we have a month of 90 degree temp before playing here......probably May'ish.

This is a nice, old course with a good layout. The recent heavy rains have hurt the greens temporarily but they haven't hurt the quality of the experience. An excellent value for the cost.

I have played this course dozens of times. The greens are the poorest I've play in Austin. I do not recommend anyone playing the course for at least 3 months until they get the greens back to playing conditions. The clubhouse people have the personality of a dish rag.

The tee boxes were nice... The rest of it, not so much.

Very disappointing. I won't be going back.

Greens are dormant your putting on wet dirt. they did not over seed.

Very cold and windy day. The darn trees kept getting in the way. You have to play your tee shot in the correct spot. The greens are on the small side and have slope all over the place. Pretty quick speed on the green. So if you are in the wrong place the putt is even harder. Very enjoyable round overall.

The guy at the desk could be nicer.

I've been a longtime area resident. I've played this course several times. It is a good layout and the sand in the traps is new and actual sand. Other then that, it's the same old course. It's dry, brown and the greens were painted green. I guess maybe that's what I should expect for this time of year (february 2017), for a city course. The cost was high for a "hot deal", I'll probably play this course sometime down the road but I hope not anytime soon. PS: the club house and snack bar are also new
