Roy Kizer Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

This is Andy. He's in sales and is somehow always 'working' when we're playing golf. He can almost never be tagged on a Facebook golf course check-in during a weekday. He's 'working.' So here's proof that he was out with us playing golf yet again. :) Photo submitted by GordonATX on 09/08/2018

Great winter condition Photo submitted by jimpham on 01/07/2017
Pleasantly surprised
It was my first round of golf here in Texas since I moved from Southern California 3 weeks ago. This course is in a perfect location between where I work and live, so I have been anxious to give this course a go. The course has a great grass driving range and affordable bucket prices to ensure you're properly warmed up before a round. I had been informed the course experienced fungi on their greens recently and had to re-do several. The greens were obviously recovering, and I have been told have come a long way. They'll keep getting better and once they do this course will be fantastic. It is not a very hard course., but it is fun, it has enough yardage to force you to hit a variety of approach shots. It has some water hazards that also makes things more challenging. The greens are small, and the tucked pin positions make your targets even smaller. Where the layout may not offer big challenges, the small targets make up for it and require your ball striking to be in good form. I really liked the course, and look forward to coming back!
Fun course!
I always like this course.
I have not been here in a while because green was not in good shape.. but it’s recovering nicely.
I will play again .
Greens need attention
Great deal on GolfNow. Course in overall good condition except for the greens. Several had bare, sandy spots. Had to move my ball on one occasion to have a puttable path. Overall though, like I said it was good experience. I will be back. Tomorrow as a matter of fact. another good GolfNow deal!
Should have let us know
Greens were in rough shape. Staff said GA knew. They should have posted and given us a better rate. Not the end of the world, still had fun.
Kizer in great shape
Course is in great shape. Fairways excellent and the rough has grown nicely to add challenge for missing fairways.
Kizer
Greens are chewed up a bit and are pretty shaggy. Still love the course tho
broken hearted
I absolutely love this course ... however I will not be back anytime soon and that is sad. The greens are shot and they used to be some of the best around. I don't know what has happened to the muni courses around Austin but they are all suffering some kind of neglect. It is a shame and whoever is in charge of this needs to be replaced with someone who cares it is not the weather go see Star Ranch it is perfect. Please make Kizer great again we miss it!!!
Bad greens
Greens in horrible shape, fairways were great. At the turn they had no hotdogs or sausage wraps? So I had a taco, bad idea!! I saw the beer cart once on the 2nd hole, that was also the last . Did I say the greens were horrible!
Greens
Greens still bad , but better than my last round. apparently to get them to grow they we cut high so besides the issue with the greens they were very slow and still bumpy.
Great course not so great greens
This was a great course from tee to green. Only once on the greens the conditions were poor. Lots of bald spots and very slow.
Review
I was disappointed very much in the shape of the greens. they were really bad. Fairways good but because of the greens I will not come back and play until they imporove.
Roy Kizer
The fairway was fine. Greens were absolutely horrendous. The joke of the day was that there weren’t any greens. Definitely will pay more for another course before playing here again due to the terrible green quality.
Greens were surprisingly bad
I know what to expect at this course. I've played it a few times. Was disappointed in the greens. They seemed to be in pretty bad shape.
Greens pretty sad
I've played Kizer many times and it's just sad to see the greens in such poor condition. Everything else is really good so it's frustrating. The green fees have gone up but the greens stink and if you don't have good greens it really hampers the enjoyment and the ability to score. I won't be back until I hear definitive word the greens are in at least decent shape
Nice Day to Play
We were the first to tee off in the afternoon after a high school golf tournament. Greens are still trying to come in with the Bermuda, but certainly playable. It's a fun course!
Good Shape
I played on Sunday with my family and we had a great round. The fairways were as good as anywhere in town. In fact, for a daily fee course, they were excellent. The greens, unfortunately, had not fully come in so I would rate course conditions no more than an 8 out of 10 overall.
