Tempest Golf Club

Carts were in poor condition, pace was pretty slow. But the course is in great shape.

East Texas hidden gem greens, layout, scenery incredible

Great course. Great conditions. Always like playing here. If you haven’t played it you need to.

One of the most picturesque courses I've played in Texas in my life! ( I'm 54 years young and I've lived in Texas my entire life. )

It's a new course and it needs another growing season to be great. Fairways were really good with a few spots that still needs filling out. Greens were perfect, really fast but fair. Lots of elevation changes which I loved. I shot 90 and was thrilled for my first time on the coarse ( 15 Hdcp). Can't wait to come back and play this one again.

Loved the layout. Every employee was friendly and positive. Nice pro shop and restaurant. Would like more consistent and quicker greens. Will be going back.

Greens were large, challenging, and in pretty good shape for August in Texas. Fairways have not finished growing the grass yet. Still have the net matting showing in many areas. Ground very hard and extremely difficult to hit off the fairway in many places. A lot of the tee boxes were so hard we couldn't hardly get the tee in the ground. Broke a lot of them before getting one to stick.

It is beautiful and very challenging. I am about a 22 handicap golfer and working on improving. This course will make you learn fast.

Courses in great shape, I'm not a big fan of the layout of a few of the holes. Too much target golf for me! Friendly staff, value, and course conditions will keep me coming back for more pain.

Be ready for a test. It's got a few holes that I'm not a fan of but everything and everyone out there is first class!

What’s BIG golf course! Elevations and and 100’ pine trees felt like playing in North Georgia. Needs to mature and fill in. A second-shot golf course. Staff always AWESOME.

This is still a very fine course. Took my son out here . He agreed it is beautiful place to play. It needs more water on it, as some of the fairways were getting a little brown. Will keep playing it at least every other week.

A hidden gem .... I really enjoyed playing this golf course.and the greens were in great shape.. I will play it again.

Played here several times. Great course. Greens, fairways great shape. They need to water more, as tee boxes very dry and hard. Can’t wait to play it again.

A new course less than 2 years old usually needs some time to mature but Tempest has in just a short time reached the top of the list of great courses you should play. Just a few miles from Kilgore and just of I-30, the layout is carved out of dense East Texas forest, creeks and valleys. There are few high dollar houses scattered around but for the most part, pure wilderness surrounds. Jeff Brauer has worked hard to become one of best architects who balances three priorities, beauty, challenge and playability. Each hole offers opportunity for all skill levels through multiple tee boxes and landing areas for each. Course conditions are superb, except for the driving range which for some reason is still a work in progress. The clubhouse is wonderful with many dining and refreshment choices. The staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable compared to the big cities. FYI, the is an RV Park next door so if you have one, park it and play multiple days. Any round is sure to be memorable.

Bad Layout. The soil is clay hardpan and it was cart path only for no apparent reason. I played at 7am and was having to wait on the group ahead of me every hole. Ended up just quitting after 9 holes. You also couldn’t drive the cart to your car, kinda odd for an East Texas public course.

Loved the new layout, greens seemed a little slow but sure that they will get faster. Been a lot of rain in the area and the sand traps were in bad shape but liked the placement of them. Will look forward to playing this course again
