About Roy Kizer Golf Course

Roy Kizer is the city's links-style course, spread over 200 acres in Southeast Austin, and it's wetter than most links: 35 acres of lakes and 22 acres of wetlands, which draw migrating waterfowl. The map survey counts water near nine holes, about 36 bunkers and trees along 13 holes, with only about 37 feet between the high and low points, so it's flat and the wind and water do the work. Course character from OpenStreetMap contributors' survey data.

It shares an address with Jimmy Clay on Jimmy Clay Drive. The name honors Roy Kizer, who was superintendent at Lions Municipal from 1937 until he retired in 1973 and was known for backing junior golf in Austin. The practice area is full: a range, a practice bunker, chipping, pitching and putting greens, plus the Joe Balander Learning Center, and the Stag and Finch snack bar handles the turn.

It's one of 34 courses Yoink watches in the Austin area, and Jimmy Clay Golf Course is practically next door — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
