Morris Williams Golf Course

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

Course was in ok shape but greens were horrible.No grass to speak of and small clumps were sprouting up in places.

Greens were in bad shape , mostly dirt very little grass.

Are thinning. Recent freeze in the area didn't do them any favors.

Not having played the course in 6 years, it was great to play an 'old-friend'. The grass was dormant but the greens were still fast as I remembered. The course was in really good shape for Jan., and I was more than happy w/ the deal on golfnow.com.

The weather has deteriorated the field of play and the greens. The greens had very little grass on them and the fairways were rough to play from. The people i paired with liked playing the course and seemed to really enjoy the course and play there often. the cart girl was running late but when she was on the course she went by often.

Morris Williams has always been my favorite municipal course. After a long year of renovations I was happy to be able to sneak in a round between cold fronts. The course was in great shape considering the cold, rain, and even snow we've had. The pace of play was incredibly fast as the whole round took a little over 4 hours, and that's playing behind a 5-some. For anybody looking for a challenging muni course at a great price, I always recommend Morris Williams.

Love the renovations to the course, the tee boxes are in great shape. White sand in the traps and the fairways were in pretty good shape considering it was the middle of winter. The only thing to watch for are the greens, they have a lot of undulation and the ball breaks more than you would think. very tricky to get a line. Over all the course is in excellent condition and would continue to play here.

Pretty open from the tee, the challenge is the greens which can be tricky at times. It's a great walking course with a nice variety of holes. Of all the Austin City courses if I had to pick one as my home course this would be it.

I play this course more than any other one in town due to its mix of convenience, value and challenge. Since the renovations in 2012 it's a lot more fair and in better shape. Good place to practice and a pleasant walking course that's not too demanding. I like it more than Kizer mostly due to the nice roll in the land and hole variety.

I really enjoy playing Morris Willis and if you haven't played it lately do yourself a favor and go play.I played with a friend a couple of days ago and found the course to be in nice condition. The greens haven't been over seeded and are in very good condition. The greens have enough speed that you have a chance to make a putt without having to smack the ball to get it to the hole. The fairways are in good condition and if your tee shot is in the fairway you feel like you have a chance to score. The pace of play was actually very good as we played in just under 4 hours. The new club house is nice and the staff is always friendly. It's a nice course and the reasonable green fees make this a very good value.

the greens were awesome and the rough was challenging, they should add more yardage markers

It had been a few years since I played MoWilly and I was very impressed with the course condition. I had heard good things about it and it was better than expected. many of the former condition problems I had seen in the past were gone. The fairways were in great shape. Only one green had a bad spot on it.

Greens were excellent! Course was in great shape, and even though it was busy, pace of play was good.

course was in great shape. fairways were plush, no bad lies anywhere in the fairways. greens were on the large size, but in great condition, the lines were true and the ball rolled smoothly. the pace of play was a little slow for us and we joined up with a threesome in front of us and we still had to wait on a threesome in front of us. but over-all a very nice course.
