Love this course
Played after a very hard rain storm so the course was very wet. Still a great day!
Nice, But not $100 nice.
I’ve played tempest 5-6 times now, the layout is superb, practice areas are great and while there’s been clear attempts to repair certain issues in fairways there’s just too many bare spots and mangled areas to justify the price tag. Definitely could see it being 70-80 maybe during prime time but $100 isn’t right.
Top notch
Hats off to the grounds crew. They’ve laid a ton of sod - the course is in great shape and will only get better.
The bar service was great at the turn. Good selection of drinks / would like to see more grab & go snacks.
It's getting better and better
A lot of repair work has been done on the fairway. It's going to be a great golf course in about two weeks
Under construction
Wouldn't recommend course until they finish fairway reconstruction. several holes were closed/ par three due to the fairways down to rocky base material
Great course
Loved playing here! There were a couple holes under construction but the layout and conditions of every hole made it worth it! I’m sure those new fairways and holes are going to be amazing!
Under construction
Do not spend your money several fairways closed My guess is it will take several months to a year to get the course into play able condition
Most unorganized, rude course I’ve ever played.
Drove an hour & 1/2 to play 18 holes, booked 2 days prior with no mention of golf tournament or fairways under repair. That being said, played front 9 with 3 holes under repair. At turn grabbed a sandwich & drink, returned to course (after clearing it with the marshal) waited for group ahead of us to walk to the green, then proceeded to tee off, as the group ahead putted out. After we teed off, we were chaotically approached by the “course coordinator” & were told to pick up our balls to allow the group 2 holes behind us that were a part of the tournament to play through. After explaining to the “ course director” that we were cleared by the very nice Marshall to proceed he responded with follow me he doesn’t have the the authority to tell you to proceed because “I’m the course director.” So, we decided to leave the course, after only 9 holes, and the “course director” proceeded to be VERY rude (yelling) while we were loading up. I would rather spend my money at a putt putt than go to that course again.
Great course awesome staff
Course lay out is a great challenge. Conditions could have been a little better. A couple holes were reduced to Par3 due to construction. Over all a great experience. Staff was super welcoming and friendly.
August '24 - Has much room to improve
I've played here several times and this was the first time seeing it in this shape. There should be a disclosure when booking here of how poor the condition is. I believe it was hole 5 that the fairway was completely cordoned off. It was nothing but iron ore rock and red clay. You had to play the hole as a very short par 3. There were several fairways that had piles of plugs from aerating the greens. My ball was resting against these piles on numerous occasions. I received a message on my cart asking if I wanted to replay the front 9 twice due the holes 16-18 not having pins. Surely a place of this price has a few extra pins in storage. This used to be a really beautiful place but has gone down hill dramatically in the past year. I wish I would've taken pictures.
Under Construction
Tempest has the potential but needs a lot of work. Prices are fair during the week.
Course
The golf pro/Marshall meet us at our cart and gave up tips and explained the current situations. Very polite and courteous. The course is absolutely gorgeous. As our first visit, we will be back.

We hear your feedback. Tempest is laying down 2 acres of new sod beginning next week on the damaged fairways. We hope to have the fairways in the same high level conditioning as the tees and greens. Course should be in great condition this fall.
