Early Spring Round

Found a great HOT DEAL, was skeptical because last time I played (1year 1/2 ago ) course was in horrible condition. Thats been fixed, course is in pretty good shape for this years weather conditions. Front nine played quick, then hit a road block on 11. Called the starter to ask if I could replay the front rather than sitting every hole waiting, they were very understanding and off I went . Played 18 in a little over 3 hours

First time

Fairways were cut so short felt like hitting off concrete. Pace of play was a mess 5 hour 20 minute round. Staff was incredible and the bar and grille bartender was awesome. Been in Texas for a month from Kansas City so was so hopeful to become a member may give it another try

Thank you for the review. Sorry about Saturday we did have a few slow groups slow the course down which is not typical for Tempest. We employ marshals every day but sometimes it still happens on a busy Saturday. Also the fairways were cut for the first time this season Friday which may explain being a little firm. Come back and see us.

The Tempest

The improvement on fairways are good and needed. Greens were good. Cleaning up the creeks on hole 8 plus others were a good idea.

Tempest GC

The course was very interesting with several blind shots and very hilly. It was a cool and windy day that made it a little more challenging but it was a lot of fun. The pro shop, restaurant and locker room were all very nice and well maintained.

Great course for the price on GolfNow

Great layout, fairways were nice, greens were in above average shape but a little slow. Sand traps had small rocks in them but other than that it was well worth the trip.

Nice course

Course was a lot of fun. Challenging but not too terrible. Mostly in really good shape. A few bare spots on the sides of the fairways, just gotta hit em straight. Friendly staff and good carts.
