Rating 72.2

This is a 36-hole city-owned operation that features one of Austin's best muni tracks, the Roy Kizer Golf Course, which complements the 1970s Jimmy Clay layout.

Austin's old water treatment facility was transformed by Randy Russell, who had more than 80 acres of lakes and marshland at his disposal when he laid out the 200-acre site. Russell's links-style design is flat, burdened by the wind, and loaded with bunkers. The toughest par is No. 11, which rolls 468 yards into the wind and is shamefully listed as a par 4. Take your bogey on No. 11.

Great Course for Scoring

This is a fairly open course with not many hazards to worry about. Great scoring course if you need a pick me up. The course is in the nicest condition that I’ve seen it over the last five years right now.

One of my favorites In Austin.

I have nothing bad to say about this course. Everything , when I’m there at least is always in great condition and consistently well maintained. Pace of play on weekdays is always smooth.

Sometimes the staff is grumpy or acts annoyed. Other than that , the course is a great bang for your buck.

Great value.

Tee boxes were in good shape. Fairways okay. A little too firm. Greens receptive but a touch slow but overall great wide open course.

Bombs away

Super fun, super playable muni. Lot of fun shots. Love courses where you can hit a bad shot and still have a good chance at bogey. Most fun I’ve had on a golf course in awhile. Staff was great.
