Roy Kizer Golf Course

Great value for the money with good practice areas. Range can get chewed up so if your just hitting balls get there early. Layout is links style and open. Greens are in good shape for the amount of play they get. Excellent staff, always feel welcome.

Course in great shape, staff very friendly, highly recommended

Tees,fairways greens and bunkers in outstanding shape, pace normal considering amount of golfers, 4hrs

Fairways, greens and bunkers in great shape, pace of play average

Coolish and windy conditions today, so I was looking forward to a low demand turnout at one of my favorite Austin courses. The frustration stemmed from a lot of incomplete grounds keeping going on during my round. I was at least fortunate enough to have the course to myself, as expected. But, some of the greens were in substandard condition or had evidence of having been sanded earlier that morning. Some of the t-boxes, were in need of trimming, others were covered with clumped wet grass where they had been trimmed but not blown off. And many of the t-boxes did not have the t-blocks set which made the par 3s in particular a bit awkward.

I would fight somebody if they had a single bad word about this course. Always a great layout, huge bang for buck, and in especially great shape after the rain and closures this summer. So glad it’s back open, and sneaky fun that the greens were actually fast yesterday

Haven't played Kizer all year and this was my first round in Texas in about two months after going up north for a little bit. The turf conditions were excellent. Probably the best I've ever seen Kizer, and it makes sense considering the munis were closed for over a month due to COVID. Bunkers are not being maintained all that well even though there are rakes in them now. I typically gravitate towards Jimmy Clay, Mo Willy and Lions over Kizer (especially when it's hot - there is no shade out there), but I like to play it once or twice a year.

Course was in great shape. Fun day!

But no cart girls in sight..

Thanks

Out here as a single on a slow rainy day, course is wide open, get sent out behind a walking four-some. Wait on behind them on every shot, get to the par 3 4th, they tee off and take off as soon as I walk up to the tee box. Marshal at the tee box says nothing. Tired of watching them play horrible golf, no one hit the green, 2 were in the woods, digging out their balls, I skip the hole. Course couldn’t be more wide open.... until the 10th. Out of nowhere, 2 jokers pull up to the 10th, haven’t seen anyone in front of me for the past 3 holes, like no one. I go to the parking lot, then back to the tee, still waiting for these guys. Wave down the marshal at the 11, ask him what’s up, where’s they come from, he talks to them, tells me they teed off 40 minutes before me and just stopped in the clubhouse for something (like a leisurely lunch?) does nothing. Course wide open in front of them, no golfers in sight. I wait on every tee box and on every approach shot on the back nine for these guys to dig their balls out of the water, tress, etc. never see the marshal again. I shot 78, they shot prob 120 if they were keeping score.. To top it off, the amateurs flipped me off in the parking lot. Keeping it classy, Kizer.

The course was in good condition, very hot, but it’s Texas in August; however, not having drinking water available on the course was difficult. Plan accordingly.
