Most golfers who try to live up to the legend of Austin native Morris Williams, Jr. will fall short. The storied golfer got his hands on every trophy within his reach, from the Texas Junior Championship trophy to the National Air Force Trophy—the second of which was eventually renamed in his honor. Today his legacy lives on near Elan East at his namesake Morris Williams Golf Course in Austin.
Designed by famed golf course architect Leon Howard in 1964, Morris Williams Golf Course was only the third public course in Austin. Although the course looks a bit different today thanks to a recent renovation (check out the new clubhouse and cart "barn"), Morris Williams Golf Course still showcases rolling greens with contoured hills. Call to reserve a tee time at this popular Austin course, which was once the home of the University of Texas golf teams.
