Morris Williams Golf Course

Mo Williams was a nice, pleasant surprise yesterday. I played 18 holes on a Wed. afternoon, and was a single. The fairways were green, and the course was in good shape. The greens were in reasonable shape, above average for a muni. Not as fast as other private courses, but the course has a nice layout, somewhat challenging from the blue tees. There are some tight fairways, and interesting shot selection on some of the holes. The bunkers are well maintained. My two gripes are first, the service is pretty bad. No one was overly nice, but the starter was just plain grumpy. But, for $32, and chance to go as single, I'll definitely come back.

I enjoyed the course and the new cub house facility is awesome. The fairways are in good shape but the greens were a little rough and recently sanded and aerated.

A few of the greens need work but fairways were good. I like the lay out! I will return.

Good course layout that was well maintained. Some of the holes can get repetitive, but for the price, the features you get are very good. Not too difficult with minimal OB, so high handicappers are welcome.

Fairways were and tees were green but not lush. Greens have been redone since it reopened last year with less undulation. Rough along the steep slopes are being worked on with new grass to cover rocks. If it wasn't for the greens, this Course would be four stars. There were many bare spots on 90 percent of front nine greens and 50 percent of the back nine.

The putting greens need improvement, but rest of course in great shape.

I can not believe that in a little over a year the city has managed to ruin the condition of the greens at Morris Williams. Perhaps it is due to the harsh winter and little rain, but the condition of the greens is terrible. It is just too bad, because it is one of my favorite layouts. Just don't know if I will return until I hear that the greens are vastly improved! It is a crime that the city of Austin can't maintain their courses better.

While the greens were in bad shape, the layout of the course was fun... Hope they get the greens back in shape.

Everything about the course is set up to shine but the condition of the greens make it not worth recommending

The greens were in very bad shape. very sandy and nearly no grass on them

Had a great day playing but my game wasn't that great. This was operator error and had nothing to do with the conditions of the course.

The course is nice. But, It is a shame that only a year after all the renovations, the greens are is such bad shape.

The greens were almost dead-I was surprised they charged me full fees for the round. Will not play there again until I check out the greens first.

Greens were much better than they were a couple of weeks ago but still have a ways to go. At least they were rolling true. In all fairness most central Texas courses are reseeding this time of year. First played this course in 1972 with 3 golf clubs. Its come a long way. Still one of my favorites. Hats off to the wonderful staff, Beth Doug and all.

Not only is the play very slow, but you need a hammer to drive the tee into the ground. I"m not talking one or two tee boxes I'm talking every tee box.. My wife couldnt get the tee into the ground at all. The new lay out is nice but like most of the other Austin city courses, a good grounds keeper is needed.or they are going to lose it. The fairways are normal Texas pasture grass, and the greens are whatever grass and in very poor shape. I would not play this course if it were not a Hot Deal on Gold Now.

Course as a whole is ok, but the greens right now are like putting on mud. I understand all of Austin's golf courses aren't in great shape, but with all the rain we got this winter I was expecting them to be a little better. There were also a lot of pin locations that were pretty unfair, on the side of some of the swales, etc. I like the undulation, but good putts were heavily penalized on a few holes

This course should not even be open. The greens have ZERO grass. I am not exaggerating. ZERO grass. You putt on mud. Ridiculous.

Green were in bad shape, grass is still dormant but overall the course was OK.

First off for having been closed for a year for renovations, I was not impressed . Actually I was depressed and disappointed. The greens were terrible, looking more like browns. Lastly the staff should have had the courtesy to point out the bad greens they didn't.

great course. I liked it. First time playing there. Was in /austin the weekend. Must have rained the night before a few green were damp, otherwise it was great. /woud definitely play there again when i come back. new /clubhouse
