A real East Texas gem

If you're anywhere near Gladewater, check this course out. It's a great value and a terrific design by Jeff Brauer, who redid the original course into this championship layout. With plenty of elevation change, water features and excellent conditions, every hole here is good to great. Lots of tees means it's playable for everyone. Really nice golf shop with good values, plus the restaurant/bar in the clubhouse as well as outside seating make for a great place to hang out after your round.

Beautiful

World-class golf course that is nice. Was super busy. Didn’t get a cart with GPS but is in good shape. Place of Play is terrible. 4 plus hours is a little long but it’s worth the wait if you have a 4-some.

Great golf

Perfect day for golf, was a little slow pace, mostly due to the large group in front of us, but course was nice and well maintained. Had fun

I live in Tarrant County and have played many courses in Texas from public to private and I must say that Tempest Golf Club is by far the BEST Course I've played in Texas! Great Layout, Great Greens, Great Staff and just an overall Great Experience!!! A must play.

Great Layout and Fun Course

First time playing here and drove in from Fort Worth. The course layout is very fun and challenging. Lots of really good risk and reward shots, the course is gorgeous. There were a couple tee boxes that need some love and some areas around a few greens that were very barren.

Our biggest complaint was pace of play. It was a busy day, which I understand we won’t be playing in 3 hours, but the group in front of us held up at least 6 groups multiple times throughout the day, played with no urgency or self-awareness. The course said there was nothing they could do at the turn.

Needs a marshal, other than that it’s a great track and worth a trip from the metroplex

Great, but slow

Very slow play. Maybe it’s not like this every time as this was my first time playing this course. The Course is challenging, and extremely fun to play.

Great course, great condition.

Left my range finder in the cart, when I called to tell the pro shop I was told that It was never found.

My fault for leaving it, but I wish whoever found would have done the right thing.

Guess I will be more careful next time. I was just expecting more from their cartbarn staff.
