Morris Williams Golf Course first opened for play in 1964. It was designed by Leon Howard.

The course features small, slightly elevated, contoured greens. These features combined with the rolling terrain probably make Morris Williams Golf Course the most difficult of all of the Austin's courses. However, the recent addition of forward tees and the improved turf make the course playable for all levels of golfers.

Morris Williams Golf Course was named after Morris Williams Jr., potentially the best golfer ever developed in Austin. He won every trophy available to him from the Austin area, from the Texas Junior Championships to the National Air Force Trophy now named in his honor. He lost his life as a young man during the Korean war in a jet plane crash in Florida.
