It’s Been A While….

I hadn’t played Jimmy Clay in at least ten years, and had completely forgotten how wacky the course layout was - well, wacky, but still pretty enjoyable. The greens were somewhat disappointing, too, but it appeared that they had recently been aerated or gone through some other maintenance procedure. Other than that, it was still a thoroughly enjoyable round of golf for a day in mid-February, so I can’t really complain too much.

Greens Are Lost

You might as well be putting on a dirt field. Price for a round is overpriced based on the condition of the greens,

Good, and solid course.

The tee boxes could have used a little attention. Most of them had a decent amount of grass growth. Overall, a very nice course though. Well worth the money. I’ll be going back!

Good layout in decent shape

Greens are slower than most, but fair. Bunkers are average with other courses at this price point. Nice layout. Like that it's pet friendly. No complaints about today's experience.

Better than last summer

The course has made a decent comeback from previous summers of dried out greens. They are cut tall so the ball doesn’t roll very well and the lines don’t break as much as you think while putting. Left a lot of putts short since it feels unusual to push through the ball that much. The trade off is the ball bites on approach if you can fly it up. Overall decent conditions for this time of year on a course that see’s a ton of traffic. Only complaint is they still are not putting out water jugs on the course, which feels criminal.

Nice experience

I enjoy playing this course. The layout is interesting with a mix of challenging holes and holes with an opportunity to score. The course conditions are good given the dry Texas weather and December effects on grass. I think there are a couple of tee boxes that need attention (mostly leveling), but the fairways are pretty good. I don't expect red carpet treatment at a city course, but I've yet to interact with a staff member who was friendly. Pace of play was good this time, but a course marshal who actually moves play along would be appreciated.
