Roy Kizer Golf Course

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.

Greens were in good condition. Pace of play could have been a bit faster. Good value for a muny course.

it`s fun. some greens are not to be seen. it`s fun.

The course has an interesting layout. Over all, it is quite flat and open--few trees or elevation changes. However, there are lots of rolling hills of thick Bermuda lining the fairways. Generous number of water hazards and sand traps.

The disappointment was in the course maintenance. At least 90% of the traps were unkept and unplayable--eroded, hard. Some of the greens were damaged, not recently mowed, and lots of unrepaired ball marks. In fairness, this was my first time to play this course, so I do not know if these condition issues are the norm.

I play 30-40 courses per year, and by comparison, I felt the course was over-priced for the conditions. If you can keep your ball in the fairway, the course plays pretty easy, but if you miss a lot of fairways and greens, you can post a large number. I played on a cool, windy day and shot 77 (avg. score).

Course was in good condition, the greens were nice and they have great practice facilities. I would definitely play it again even though it's a little expensive and the pace of play is not as fast as it should be!

Course was in average shape but this is a well maintained course. It is the pride of Austins city courses. A great Value for the money. Greens put true.

This was the best course I've played so far in Texas. It's a great links course with several risk reward holes. They had recently over seeded so the greens were slow but true. The staff checking us in were friendly and helpful. He recommended we return to play Jimmy Clay as well. I wish we had played there today instead of Quail Creek Country Club. That was a true dog track.
Can't wait to return. It is now my Austin go to course when I'm in town.
