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
Greens are coming around nicely. Should be great in spring. Bunkers are soft and taken care of. Overall great experience.
Good Value
Great layout and economical cost for both the round and access to the nice practice areas. I’ll be back again, thanks!
Complete mess
The carts don't have windshields. An old lady screams tee times through a loudspeaker at tee box 1, in my backswing twice. Course was mud. Drunk frat boys blaring music and throwing beer cans. I will never go back to this course. I left before the second hole.
Great Course
I enjoyed myself and could play there every day
What’s up with the greens
The greens used to be beautiful here. They were bumpy, shaggy. Everything else was good. I know it’s December, but should have been better.
The course is in really good shape for a public course.
Our group was first out after a frost delay, so I'm not sure about the normal pace of play, but the group behind us fell two holes back, so a nudge from the marshal would have been appropriate. The fairways and greens were in very good condition. The course is a links style course with a lot of room for wayward shots. Bunkers were deep so avoid them. There's are many holes with water, but a decent shot can avoid it. It's a little pricey for a Muni, but that's the way it is in Austin. I'll definitely play this course again.

Course is in great shape but the greens need a little more grass on them. They were a little slow but they rolled true.
