Roy Kizer Golf Course

Teed off at 3pm on Friday, pace of play was a bit slower than what I'm used to at Kizer. Wasn't too stacked opened up on the back 9, expected for a summer Friday afternoon. Course is in Great shape all that rain from past couple of months has done wonders for the course. Fairways are plush greens are rolling good, the green on number 11 had a few dry spots with sand but that was the only one. Course is a great value right now for a municipal.

I visited Kizer about 2 months ago and the greens were in such bad shape we didn't even play the course. Today, #12 green is the only one that has yet to completely recover, and the few small problem areas there weren't really in play. Yesterday afternoon the greens were rolling true and stimping at about a 9. Fairways, green surrounds and tee boxes were in good shape. Good sand in the bunkers. The driving range is being redone as part of the Jimmy Clay re-do, so no warm-up balls. Really impressed with the greenskeeper's work.

Course was a bit wet after all the rain we had gotten here in Austin, but still played reasonably well. More Marshalls were needed to help the flow of play. Terribly slow foursome ahead of me, along with a single player who was playing 2 balls. Otherwise, I enjoyed my round. I like playing at Roy Kizer.

I like the course, it is one of my favorite places to play. However, this outing could have been much better if the course had a Marshal that checked on the players. This outing we were behind a foursome that played loud music, threw balls at each other, ran across the green, damaged the greens and played bumper cars with the carts. Never saw a marshal once.

The greens are still rough, still need a lot of work. Hopefully the recent rains help the grass on the greens and the ball can roll instead on jumping up and down towards the hole. The driving range is under re-construction an closed, so your warmup is the first hole.

This is the worst shape this course has ever been in with hard crusty greens. If you want your wedge approach shot to stop make sure you under club or expect the ball to run 5 - 10 yards after impact. I don't think it was worth the $33 discount price, much less the regular $49 they normally charge.

Greens aerated a few weeks ago and way too many hot spots for good putting. Pace of play was ok...if not for the group of 5 in front. Been playing here for many years and greens were in worst shape ive seen. I attribute this too the diverted traffic while clay is under construction. Still enjoy this course though.

Play this course quite a bit due to it being down the street from my house. Course is in pretty good shape but could be better. Everyone there at the course is super friendly and pace of play is great. Definitely going to continue to play here!

Roy Kizer is a fun course to play. The open links style layout is a welcome change from most Austin area courses.
The fairways were in good shape, but the greens (or more accurately browns) were in laughable shape. almost every green looked like it needs to be completely replaced. It wasn't until hole 16 was there a green that would be considered acceptable.

It's a shame the greenskeeper has allowed the greens to go this badly.

I've played this course before and for $30 it was worth it... This time, I paid $25 and it was not worth it at all. The greens were in terrible condition. It was like putting on a fairway with patches of concrete, which made putting completely pointless. I would not play this course again this year with those green conditions.

I usually play Kizer once a week with my buddies. Due to weather and work, it has been about 9 weeks since we played. The greens have always been some of the best for a public course in Austin, but whatever has happened lately, is sad. The greens were absolutely terrible. I hope they can fix the problem soon for spring and summer play.

Greens are horrible right now. They are all burned out. Can't believe they're charging full price for this course right now. Save your money and go to the driving range because that's all you're getting playing this course.

Fairways were in the best shape I've ever seen here.

The day I played it was fairly windy but my main problem was the condition of the greens. Most were is very rough shape. Where there was grass it was dead and had weeds on most greens. They need to aerate and over seed the greens and let people know that before they make a tee time.

This is always one of the best courses in austin. But something had happened to the greens. Some of them are bare dirt with weeds growing while a few were decent. Other than that it was great, but with bad greens you undoubtedly have a bad golf course unfortunately.

Give them 2-3 more weeks to figure this out before going back

Played Kizer on Saturday 3/28/15. Kizer is one of my favorite course in the area. Unfortunately, the course is in bad condition...in particular the greens. They are brown and crusty...very little grass on them. Apparently they are aerating and sanding them next week. Hopefully they recover after that. But there is really no excuse for them to be in this kind of shape right now. Other courses' greens are fine in the area. I will not be back until i hear a good report. Final word: it really irks me that golf courses charge full price when their course is obviously in poor condition.

If you hit the drive straight and your irons true then this course is a lot of fun. If you don't do those two things then bring a lot of balls...

Nothing special. Pasture grass in the fairways. Greens in sad shape. This place has really went down hill in the past year.

Very good place of place. Course in good shape for winter play.

Always enjoy playing this course. Usually play during the week when it is less crowded. Fairways in decent shape but greens not up to their usual standard. With Jimmy Clay closing for six months for repairs this course will get a lot of pressure and I hope staff can keep the course maintained to a reasonable playing level. Good value thru GolfNow but doubt I would pay standard green fees given the shape it is in now.

The place was fully packed for a 1:40 tee time on a Monday. We were stuck behind a group of hackers in jeans and had to wait for them on about 12 holes which made getting into a rhythm difficult. Decent wide open layout-conditions never change here typically dead and burnt out. People in the pro shop are kind of flaky and the locals think they run the show. But for 16 a pop it was well worth any hassle.
