Jimmy Clay/Roy Kizer Golf Course - Roy Kizer Course

5400 Jimmy Clay Dr
Austin, TX 78744
Phone: (512)444-0999Fax: (512)447-7334

This facility has two different courses to choose from. The Roy Kizer Course is the only course that accepts credit cards for green fees. This links-style course was built on fifty-six acres of marsh and wetlands. The terrain is flat, plus numerous sand bunkers guard the fairways and greens, and the wind is frequently a factor. The signature hole is #11, a 468-yard, par 4, called "Teeth of the Wind." The Jimmy Clay Course has many tree-lined fairways, and water hazards come into play on eight holes. Several out-of-bounds stakes line the fairways, and the greens are of medium size and speed. The signature hole is #18, a 399-yard, par 4, which plays into the wind and has water on the left, trees on the right, and requiring a long to mid-iron approach shot to the green.

Too Good to Be a Muny?, May 10, 2004

reviewer: Darren McCarty from San Antonio, TX

If you're like me, you want the most golf for your buck - and Roy Kizer might very well be the best bargain in Central Texas. (It has maintained a 3.5-4 star rating by Golf Digest Places To Play). Appealing to all skill levels. The only drawback is the wind - but it's a links-style course and that almost always comes with the territory. It is my course of choice when I'm in the Austin area. Nice and intersting layout, nice course conditions. Sometimes crowded, but walk-ons are (still) welcome (I think). Play during the week if you can. Fun to walk. Try it - You won't be disappointed.

Miacomet Golf Club
"The New Miacomet"
Welcome to the new Miacomet!! Complete with 9 new golf holes capturing the essence of links golf. This Massachusetts island has a new name in public golf. This new layout if the wind is blowing is going to be a real challenge. The elevated tees give you a great look at fairway and positioning. The trick is to hit it there with the accuracy needed to conquer a 20 to 30 mile an hour wind. The golf staff were very professional in the running of the shop. Superb lessons provided by Mike's staff. State of the art lessons with Rob. Fantastic!! Bill Affinito's group are learning the paths and new roads that service the new course. Great job. And the new general manager, Alan Costa, fantastic, hard working, creative. The food service is top notch. come try the new course on Nantucket.

Rio Colorado Golf Course
"Players of all skill levels will enjoy this course."
Gary Player design company did a fine job with this golf course, from beginner to pro this course has plenty to offer, watch out when the wind is up, with five par fives and many good risk reward holes this course can offer a lot of birdies, but lookout for the par threes, they are tougher than they look. Scenic Colorado river views on the back side, great bird watching, eagles, hawks, etc, also a gator or two or three.
