Over priced

They should not charge 70 dollars to play greens that are Absolutely horrible. No grass, painted and holes all over, was not like this last year.

Greens were a joke

Would never typically review a mini course but greens are in horrendous condition w no signs of improving. Not just bad but impacts round a ton and made it not a real round of golf.

Criminal

Absolutely criminal to be charging full price for greens like that. Look… I’ve played kizer well over 50 times and always have a great time here but for the condition the greens are in right now as of April 2024 just avoid this place for awhile. Fairways are fine and bunkers but the greens looks just as bad as blackhawks or a dirt road. DO BETTER AUSTIN MUNI’s!!

Horrible greens, avoid playing here

Greens are in horrible shape, super bumpy and hardly any grass. Pretty sad for this course to shut down a few years back to fix the greens because they lost them and looks like they are losing them again. In general Clay, Kizer and Willie all have horrible greens right now, don't know what is going on with the munis these days. Just go up north and pay a little bit more to play Star Ranch or ShadowGlen which both courses have greens in great shape.

Kizer

The greens are not in and are mostly dirt. Course conditions don't warrant the cost.

March 2024

The fairways and tee boxes are great, sand traps are pretty good all around but the greens are 95% dirt/sand and crab grass.

Given that the greens are so bad I wouldn’t play it for the next month or so

Course was fun, pace was bad

Starter was letting 2-somes go off by themselves without waiting for all four in the group to assemble at the 1st tee, which ruined the pace for the whole round. Probably just on him but why the staff would hire someone with no experience or not train them is odd.

Poor condtions

Tee boxes were bare. Fairways were hard and no grass. Greens were dormant and hard to read. Pace was slow but manageable.

Course Work

Because of course work on holes 14 and 18, the tees have been moved up, so much so that the tees for hole 18 made the length about 100 to 110 yards.

The condition of the course should be stated so that players will know when they book a tee. Additionally, the green fee should be reduced until the work is completed.

I would not recommend this course at this time.

Good Value

Played as a threesome. Pace was very good on the front nine, Slow on the back nine due to very slow threesome in front of us. Never offered to let us play through. Very hot but course was in pretty good shape. Greens and tees very good, fairways a little dry. Will play again.
