If You Want a Challenge
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.
Fun Course
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.
Course conditions/ car path only
I’ve played this course many times however this was the worst experience I have ever had at a course. Aerated greens and fairways With plugs all throughout fairways. Their was no notification of the course conditions or the cart path only.
Desperately needs a Marshall to start people
Great course layout. Greens were in good shape. Fairways were good.
Only complaint was the pace of play. There was not a starter.
Great course. Wish it was more affordable.
I really like this course located here in beautiful East Texas.
It, by far has the best layout I. Our area.
The staff has always been friendly & helpful.
My only complaint is cost.
$75/ rd includes cart but is a little pricey.
Club membership is also on the high side.
I’ll continue to play it a few times a year through Golfnow. Sadly, that cost has also risen to about $65.
First but not last
Didn't have any expectations since my first time to play was in the middle of winter.
Well laid out course, members were friendly. Greens were in good shape and I would expect them and the fairways to be outstanding in a couple of months. Definitely will be back.
Challenging
Great course challenging will test your game play here weekly
Great Layout
Great layout of the course. Fast and smooth greens and the course had a lot of hills.
Some bunkers are starting to get a little firm. Either no one went through to take them before play or they are losing sand.
Restaurant was delicious and service was fast. Will be back for sure.
Great Course
It was a beautiful course and the greens were in good shape. It was a difficult course with fast greens, but a great experience for our first time.
Fun course where local knowledge is worth several shots
Conditions were really good for November. Greens were consistent and true. Don’t get above the hole and on most holes, long is not good. OB creeps into several spots where you might expect to see red stakes instead. Note missing the Par 5 13th long, or left by just a yard or so will kick OB. It’s a fun course with the elevation changes that you’ll want another shot at. Only draw back was my cart’s GPS wasn’t working which made it difficult to figure out where to hit it. There’s a few blind tee shots where you need to play to the proper side of the fairway as slopes will kick the ball into a penalty area.
Saw the Beverage cart at least 3 times. Cart girl had personality which was fun.
Brett in the shop managed working me into a group on a Saturday morning as I was a single.
Pace of play was a little slow on the front, but we made up some time on the back. 4:45.
Will definitely look to go back and improve on my round. The large American Flag flying over the property is a nice touch.
Interesting course
Very interesting and challenging course. Greens are quick and undulating. Beautiful clubhouse
