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.

Course in great shape, pace sucked

Course in great shape, greens kind of slow but they at least rolled good. Pace sucked and even started 20 minutes late, no marshal on course to do nothing about the pace either.

Classic course with a rude flair

Every time I went into the clubhouse I felt like I was inconveniencing the staff. They had their own conversation going and finished it before helping myself and the two other people trying to pay for their rounds. The course was nice but on the easier side of the scale. For long hitters, the course is on the shorter side of the spectrum.

Great course/needs better booking accuracy

Favorite course in Austin 5 stars for the course...3 stars for the booking process. I called a week prior to book for 12pm thurs dec 3rd and they confirmed with me over the phone. When I got there they said they had nothing for me at 12pm and then all the sudden out of the blue they said “o Ross Whitton at 12:33?”. Of course I’m not going to say no but was kinda annoying I went through all that time to book over them phone for nothing. Great course..booking process needs to be worked on.

Course in good shape, slow greens

Course was fun and in good shape, only issues were slow greens but the speed was consistent and tee boxes need to be cut.

Two busy courses

I think that having a starter at the 1st tee would be a huge help.
