Jimmy Clay Course

Jimmy Clay is a traditional tree-lined golf course with moderate length by today’s standards, more than adequate for the amateur, and a nice challenge for the advanced player. With a fair balance of holes that will test you mentally and physically, the Jimmy Clay course allows most players a chance to get aggressive and bag a birdie or two. It’s a fun track for you to enjoy.

Roy Kizer Course

Roy Kizer is a fairly unique golf course for the area. It is a nice version of a links-style golf course. Although the course is not long, it presents a serious challenge to the amateur. Accuracy off the tee box is critical since water is in play on 10 of 18 tee shots, not to mention the 8 of 14-second shots. Once in the fairway, birdies are very possible. Much of the course’s large bodies of water are deemed wildlife sanctuary areas and havens for all kinds of wildlife. “Always practice with a purpose.”
