Roy Kizer Golf Course

Excellent job of overseeding for winter play on both fairways and greens.

I will have to play this course again to be able to assess. I dont understand the premium price. The greens are average at best, some are far below average there are the usual overwatered mud bogs around the approach aprons, and some areas where you really wonder, what were they thinking? Lots of water but most of it is avoidable. It's pretty wide open, but challenging. There are some punitive bunkers in just the right spots, so you have to place shots, instead of bombing a driver, which I don't care for (I am not a pro) but I get it. So again, I will have to give it another go before I can rate properly. SAVE MUNY

Great course with some challenging holes. A few of the greens had some disease and there were a few sloppy-wet spots around the greens but overall the course is in good shape.

Enjoyed playing this course. The greens which had been in trouble are coming back. What I don't understand is why you start on hole ten. This is not new. If they want you to start on ten, they should just renumber the holes and reprint the scorecard.

good layout with lots of water on sides. forces you to make goo club selection and keep it in fairways. will play again

For mid-October, course conditions were poor. Sand in the greens, greens not rolling true with bobbles, hard fairways and rough all made for a tough round. Has potnetial but needs better upkeep by the city of Austin.

After a tough bout with greens dying off in the wet weather earlier in the year, they are now in pretty good shape. Only a few bad spots on the greens, but very playable now. Fun challenging course.

Overall the course was in great shape except for several greens that had brown patches. Basically, those greens are two putt max.....no reason to try and play around the spots. Staff was great and pace of play was not an issue. Marshall on the course and kept play moving along nicely.

The course was in great shape except for about half a dozen greens, which looked like they had suffered from poor drainage. Those were very rough.

Played in the middle of the day and it was perfect. The layout on Roy is really fun. Not too difficult but has some challenging holes. The only problem was that the greens are pretty spotty. Most greens had dead spots that made putting impossible. If u can handle bad greens and want to play a fun course then try it out.

I try and play this course at least once a month. Because it is so wide open it is very hard to lose a ball out there. That being said, the fairways are in great condition and the greens are getting better. There was a problem earlier in the season when the greens where so bad that you couldn't even putt. Like all things in nature over time the problem corrects itself. The greens are not 100% back but it will get there eventually. As of writing this review the 16th hole still has a make shift green well short of the original green. Making this hole an eagle hole for sure. Don't be afraid to play this course just because of some patchy spots on the greens.

I was a single behind a 3-some who thought they were playing for the club championship. Every putt they took forever even though their shots were all over the fairway. Finally asked them if I could skip around them and the pace picked up fine. There was no marshal to make them pick up the pace.

It's been hot and almost every green was in bad shape. Lot's of dead and bare patches on the greens.

I've always liked the layout and the staff was nice. So not much they could do about the conditions.

I had played the course in mid-June and the greens were an absolute disaster. Huge progress since then. Only one green (#13) is still unplayable. Every other green now has good turf over at least 85% of the putting surface. Bumpy and slow, but at least they are acceptable now. Hopefully the improvement continues.

Been here before and loved it, the layout is great, pace of play is good. The greens used to be a lot better, but they are looking really bad right now. Fairways are great! If you wanna play and don't care about putting really then i would recommend the course, but if you want to focus on putting and getting a better score I wouldn't recommend it. Hopefully they get better soon!

I really like Roy Kizer, so I was very disappointed when I last played it. At least 1/3 of the greens were in horrible shape.

Some were almost all dirt. On more than a few chips and putts, the ball jumped sideways because of the "dog track" greens.

And the 16th green was in such bad shape that they cut a new "green" our of the fairway 75 yards short of the "real" green. The 16th is Kizer's iconic hole and now it is ruined.

The greens are so bad that the fairways were in better shape than many of the greens.

I don't know why people work at a golf course if they can't maintain the greens.

Won't play it again until I read that all of the greens have been redone.

STAY AWAY.

I've played here about 10 times now. I like the layout, I like the challenge and I like the deal I got until I started putting. There was about three holes that had a decent putting green, the others were riddled with major issues. For the price that we got this deal, I would say we should have been given a discount due to the poor greens or a complimentary bucket of balls. I think if you are going to be playing here, you should get a complimentary small bucket of balls, if you are there for practice, you should pay for that. Fairways were in good shape considering we haven't had any rain for over a month now. Also, no one told us about the temporary green on the back nine, I want to say it was on hole 14 or 15.

Course is in great condition save for the greens. Seemed like almost all were under some kind of repair.

Poor green conditions and no short term solution

The greens weren't looking their best. Some looked perfect, others had large dead spots. Every other part of the course was in great shape though.

greems were very BAD. not going back.
