A Favorite, But It's Been a Tough Winter

Love to play Mo Willy, but it's been a harsh dry winter and the course has been beat down with traffic. The greens unfortunately are also suffering from outbreaks of some non-favorable "broccoli" looking stuff that impact the roll of the ball. Still, with Roy Kizer out of commission with repair work, if I'm going to play a Muni Morris Williams is my first choice!

The greens need to be improved. My putting has been sound but the bumps and damages is throwing off my game.

Not in good shape

I haven't played here since Fall of last year and this course is not in great shape compared to other courses. Tee boxes are bad due to no overseeding for winter and greens are slow and bumpy. No grass around the greens to chip, lots of muddy areas.

Great Track, Go Play It

Winds picked up as the day went along. No fault of anyone, it just made three or four holes on the back nine a lot more challenging to get through.

Great course, slowwwww pace

Love playing this course, but the pace is always super slow. All good though because most courses I go to in Austin are painfully slow. I also live across the street so this is my spot. Make sure you hit the restaurant there for some beers and a glizzy. Also tip the girls as much as you can, they’re working hard.

Back at Mo' Willy, After a Decade Away!

So, after not playing Morris Williams, a City of Austin municipal course, for just over ten years, I found a reasonable price and a convenient tee time, and decided to enjoy a nostalgic trip back into my golfing past. I made an early morning tee time on a weekday through GolfNow, and expected to be paired with others. But, when I arrived at the course, I learned that I was playing solo, which suited me. The weather was perfect, and the greens and fairways seemed to be in much better condition than I remembered from my distant past. I only encountered one foursome during the entire round, and they quickly waved me through - I finished 18 holes in 3 hours and 7 minutes, which was ideal. Why did I stay away for ten years? I'll be back soon....
