First time
Fairways were cut so short felt like hitting off concrete. Pace of play was a mess 5 hour 20 minute round. Staff was incredible and the bar and grille bartender was awesome. Been in Texas for a month from Kansas City so was so hopeful to become a member may give it another try

The Tempest
The improvement on fairways are good and needed. Greens were good. Cleaning up the creeks on hole 8 plus others were a good idea.

Tempest GC
The course was very interesting with several blind shots and very hilly. It was a cool and windy day that made it a little more challenging but it was a lot of fun. The pro shop, restaurant and locker room were all very nice and well maintained.

Great course for the price on GolfNow
Great layout, fairways were nice, greens were in above average shape but a little slow. Sand traps had small rocks in them but other than that it was well worth the trip.

Nice course
Course was a lot of fun. Challenging but not too terrible. Mostly in really good shape. A few bare spots on the sides of the fairways, just gotta hit em straight. Friendly staff and good carts.
