Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Roy Kizer Golf Course to avoid the heat and crowds?
Austin summers are brutal, so we always recommend playing Kizer from late fall through early spring. You'll find comfortable temperatures and the course is usually in fantastic shape, making for a much more enjoyable round. Weekday mornings are your best bet to beat the crowds.
What kind of golfer is Roy Kizer best suited for, and is it a walkable course?
Kizer is incredibly forgiving off the tee, making it perfect for mid-to-high handicappers looking for a fun, accessible round. While it's relatively flat, the distances between some greens and tees are a bit of a hike, so we suggest taking a cart unless you're really committed to walking.

You'll definitely remember the par-3 11th, which plays over water to a well-guarded green-it's a real test of nerve. Also, keep an eye on the par-5 18th; it's a great finishing hole with water down the left, demanding a precise approach to close out your round strong.
Does Roy Kizer have good practice facilities, and are they worth using before a round?
Absolutely, Kizer boasts a fantastic driving range with plenty of targets and a large putting green that accurately reflects the course's greens. We always recommend arriving a bit early to dial in your short game here; it's a great way to get a feel for the speed before you hit the first tee.
How does Roy Kizer compare in terms of value and cost for a round of golf in Austin?
Kizer offers excellent value, especially considering its consistent conditioning and fun layout; it's one of Austin's best public course deals. Expect to pay around $40-$60 for a weekday round with a cart, which is a steal for the quality of golf you're getting.
