The Golf Club at Texas A&M

First time playing this course, beautiful and well maintained. Texas A&M provides a great atmosphere for playing and to meet great people.

This is the best public course in the area. Greens are in fantastic shape. Our foursome did not get thru 9 holes due to lightning. I would definitely make this course a must play.

We got behind a teen who, with his mother, were preparing for an upcoming AJGA tournament. On a few holes, and as I and my playing partners waited to play our approach shots to the green, he stood on the green and recorded in his player’s book what I presume were aspects of the green. On other holes he would practice shots from the rough adjacent to the green. These kids and their parents need to be more courteous of those waiting behind them. Practice on your own time and not others’. The sooner you understand to be respectful of other golfers, the better off you will be in reaching your goal of turning pro.

This course has always been good, but recently its been fantastic. a little busy but pace of play is kept up by course officials. The greens are playing very fast. They were at 10.2 on the day i played. A fairly tough course at the back tees but manageable for beginners at the front tees.

Great condition and challenging in the right places.

Always windy. Plenty of roll. Playable for many handicaps. Greens should be healed soon. A good short game will be rewarded.

I understand the course is on a college campus but course is very very tight as far as holes being beside one another, the scorecard has no layout of the holes and for someone who had never played here before I got lost on 3 separate occasions at this course, the course is very poorly marked and flags on holes have no numbers. There were at least 4 separate times as well I was looking into the distance for the hole and saw 2 or 3 different flags and didn’t know which one I was supposed to be going for. I played by myself and completed my round in 2.5 hours though. Overall course is in pretty good shape, they just need to do a better just marking the course.

Public courses are more fun, always been ... even in Hawaii on vacation. It's the ambiance & the people met.

Was very grateful for the new membership deals @ TAMU that brought me back home to my favorite course since grad.school in the 70's. Both courses had/have wonderful personalities and encourage golf play. This is located most central to all in Brazos Co.

Contrary to reviews of slow play, my rebuttal is hahaha since renewed member March 2018 and 2-3/week experiences here. Slow play on Saturdays or afternoon Sundays will be found anywhere in the county since Bryan Muni closed! The rest of the time, better not dautle or allow others through + Rangers grease the friction for best play for all.

Course improvements are going on everywhere daily, on top of the course makeover that brought top drawer greens, perfect sand bunkers, grass every place your ball might land unintentionally. Whatever you find lacking today compared to other venues, may soon be installed, so come back often.

Staff everywhere is a pleasure from student/experts in clubhouse to maintenance that stops during your play!! to anyone taking care of all things, wish to make your experiences memorable.

Thanks to the kindness of others, I have played every course sans Miramount in Brazos & Grimes counties. If given a free pass to one of them, TAMU Campus Course would be my choice, hands down.

Certainly all the others have a wonderful forte of their own, to each their preference. Pricing, experienced top managers, food/drink, exclusivity, senior groups, hit-away & long-ball designs, etc. I find here as well or becoming or competitive rapidly.

Trump card: None hold as many memories as this one "being home" again.

Finally, with my seasonal, wildly fluctuating handicap, I rated this course extremely challenging NOT because of poor maintenance you find elsewhere, NOT ala the Ko'olau Golf Club jungle but because you can make it as you wish by simply choosing a more challenging tee box and get a different viewpoint of play - same course.

Course was in good shape and the ball rolled well on the greens. Lots of sand traps! Enjoyed the round and would definitely play here again when in the area.

Pebble Creek CC at higher rates is the only course that rivals this Campus Course at times in quality, attractiveness and attention to detail outside the clubhouse.

Compare to others:

Pecan Lakes - cattle field, long drive

Briarcrest, new "City Course" - crowded, ungroomed for 2+ years, rough driving range

Pebble Creek - $$$$ + members only

Traditions - $$$$$ + members only + long ball hitters only, snake pits and some are snooty

Miramount - $$$$$$$ + members only + who cares?

Hearne - 9 holes pasture for long drive rewards

New management has been overwhelmingly proactive in improvements, daily. Even more services coming soon.

Grass everywhere, except 163 sand traps but it's the GOOD sand. Greens now surpass the top notch Briarcrest standards of old. Rangers are tops.

Some memberships include unlimited tees, range balls, carts, tee times + extras.

I find most public golf courses annoying when it comes to the greens, this course is excellent and what you'd expect at a great AG school. Definite worth the play.

Course condition has improved since I played here earlier this year. No more irrigation leaks flooding parts of the golf course. The greens were good despite being top-dressed the day before. Golf shop is ran by a back office manager & student help. No course marshal! Student twosome ahead of us had two holes open ahead of them...we were a foursome & had to wait every shot.

Played behind a group of older golfers. Twenty minutes for one hole would have put us at six hour round. Marshalls understood both sides. Asked that we play through at their convenience. Class. Thank you for everything you do.

The drought we’ve had has not been kind to the fairways. However, the greens were great. A big shout out of appreciation to the young men and women who played in the PGA sectional this weekend. Ball marks on the greens were all repaired and you couldn’t tell a junior tournament had preceded you. These kids really respected the course. Kudos to their parents for all the support they provided. I especially enjoy the professionalism of all the staff in the pro shop. Always great you with a smile to let you know you are welcome on their course.

Course will be great in about 1 month. They had aerated the greens about a week before so they are slow. They just have snacks at the turn, no food. But I am going back. It is about two and a half hrs from my home, but well worth the drive.

Greens are as fast and almost identical to what they were when the course reopened several years ago. The course was packed and pace of play slow. Marshall was present but groupings really could not have sped up. However, a group of two that were paired with us refused to play with us. These foreign nationals must understand that this slows the pace for everyone when the group is split. I play golf to meet people and have a lot of fun in doing so. You never know who you may meet so enjoy the pairings!

This is a really nice course with a very friendly staff.

However the pace of play was horrible. We teed off just after 11:00 am and it took us 5.5 hours to play. It was windy but I can't fathom why they can't require a quicker round. There was a marshal driving around but I think he felt powerless to do anything

I've played the course numerous times. It's a nice course for the price, but sometimes the pace of play is a little slow. They usually don't have marshalls, so the pace of play is usually that of the slowest group on the course. Sometimes you can play under 4 hours, but other times it might take more than 5.
