Fantastic course, staff, and amenities

Our organization hosted a golf tournament at Tempest Golf Club and our experience was remarkable. Randy and his staff were absolutely wonderful to work with and had the course in amazing condition as well as all the amenities that go with such an event. We had 35 teams play in a 4-person scramble and everything was seamless. The meal following the tournament was outstanding as well. I cannot compliment the staff and the course enough! Fantastic experience!

Beautiful Layout

We had a great time and loved the course. The grass was still not completely grown in, but in good shape. We ate afterwards and the food was good and good service.

Great couse

You don’t feel you are in East Texas. Lots of different elevations. A must play and great wraps in the grill.

Country Club Attitude gets old

Arrived one hour prior to tee time. No available carts. Told to check back in approx. 30 minutes Groups backed up due to a college team event. Communicating we might be delayed teeing off. Poor planning on the courses part. The sad part is management sat in his office and seemed to not care.

We were shuttled to the range and then someone came to the range within approx. ten minutes communicating we would have to go off the back nine immediately or be delayed. Had to find a ride to get a cart, basically just take a cart because we were being rushed, No warmup. Just go play. Played the back nine without issue. Once we got to the front nine there was two groups waiting on most tee boxes. Turned into a five plus hour round. Unfortunately, this has happened in the past but not like this though.

Good conditions. Just slow pace

Course was in good shape. Had a tournament going and the pace was really slow. A couple greens had some wash out spots. But overall not bad

Course conditions could be better.

This being labeled as the nicest golf course in east Texas was disappointing. Design is awesome and challenging. Condition of the fairways and greens don’t justify. Staff was awesome. Course amenities were great. Tee boxes were well taken care of.

This is one of the nicest courses in East Texas

This course is just as nice and any public or private course in the ETX area. One of my favorites.
