Tempest Golf Club

This courses greens could be the best around; however, everytime they start to get really good, they either punch, sand, verticut, etc. I don't know why this is the only course in ET where this is necessary.

Slow play continues to be a problem; however, one of their Marshalls is starting to do some things about it.

A lot of elevation changes. Fairways are tight. A Lot of blind tee shots from the blue tees. Greens were a little fast course plays long very nice place.

Much like everyone else says, course is ok, better than many. However, pace of play is a huge problem here. Only problem worse than pace of play is that management really could care less. Once they have been given your money, you are on your own. When we talked with the head person, he chuckled and told us to go somewhere else, we would find no better than his place.

So, course is fine, just pack a lunch, a snack, and possibly even dinner

Best layout and course conditions I’ve experienced in east tx. Very hot but on course water coolers were present, beverage cart came by several times during play and complimentary ice/cooler on cart. Carts include gps but it rarely worked on either cart in our foursome. That’s about the only complaint and I’ve seen other reviews referencing gps issues. We drove 1 1/2 hours to play course and it was worth the drive and I plan to play again soon. Large greens and undulating fairways make it a challenging course.

Nice course, just a long way to travel and a little high priced for the location.

8 of us drove out and played everyone loved it but it was hot and it is Texas

I have played this course about ten times. It gets better each time. The layout IS challenging. The condition of the course has improved each time I have played it.

The only thing I don't like about this course is the two multi-level greens. They are MUCH too severe and really not necessary. LEVEL them out. I find myself looking for the windmill on those greens.

The staff and pro are top notch and great. The grill and bar is good to.

Come check it out, but hit the correct level on those two three-tiered greens.

Course is starting to mature and is a monster from the tips.

It’s been over two years of progress getting this course where it is now. Smooth fairways help make those thinking shots a little easier. You bite off just about as much or as little as you want out there now. Go get em!

This course turned out to be all it was cracked up to be. The layout is not only very challenging, but beautiful at the same time. Great course at a fair rate. I look forward to going back in the future.

Great course; but, they punch, verticut, sand the greens way too often. Tee markers are not placed correctly; whites can sometimes be farther away than blues. Carts are in bad shape, and GPS system rarely functions correctly. They are way too tolerant of slow play.

Very impressed with this course definitely worth playing

Great course! No marshal advising players on pace of play, a threesome had the whole course backed up.

Saturday 10:54 tee time. Took north of 2:30 to complete front 9. I get that public golf courses don't move quick, but for an $80 green fee I expected better. They definitely overbooked. Arrived at the 6th to find 4 groups on the hole. Couple that with charge for range balls, cart screen not working, no coolers or club washers etc... Cool, course but not worth the price IMO.

This course gives you everything you ever want in a quality place. Clubhouse, practice facility & friendly people who work there. Nothing needs to be said about the course, it’s no less than a gem. Must be played more than once to really get a feel for all the hills you’ll encounter. Big greens that require precise putting. Go play!!

I again enjoyed a relaxed round at this course...new to me but it has great potential. Many good shots on fairway or green could be on dirt, sand, or just minimal grass. The winter took its toll...but the recent rains helped I am sure. Much better shape.

If you want a challenge, come play Tempest. All handicaps welcome. But step back to the Blacks or even the Blues and enjoy a whole new course.

Beverage Cart isn’t always out but step inside to enjoy the staff at the bar or dining.

Greens are always excellent here, even through aerating.

Excellent east Texas course. Lots of challenging and unique holes. The elevation changes make the course interesting. Also, it's not too tight, no gimmicky or forced holes. First-timers might consider playing up a set of tees and enjoy the ride.
