Slow play
The layout is really challenging. There are a lot of bad spots in the fairways and it’s really tough to get a tee in the ground on the tee boxes. I am a member, but when I have a guest, they are not impressed with the experience they get for the money they spend. The pace of play problem is mostly because of there being 4 holes on the front nine that are cart path only.
No drinking water
There is no drinking water on the course. Heat index was 107 with no water.
Excellent golf course
The golf course is well maintained and I want to come again if I have a chance.
Beautiful course in gladewater
No fault on the course. It had a lovely layout. Fairways were above average, greens tricky but challenging. Paying $100 for absolutely no service. The coolers in the carts should have filled with ice, ours didn't have a cooler. Saw the cart girl once in 18 holes.
Experience not commensurate price.
Not bad condition but needs work, main downside was PoP
We teed off around 8 thinking we could be done before it got too hot. Fast forward almost 6 hours and we finally got off the course. We waited on every tee box 1-18 and every green to clear 1-18, most brutally slow round of golf I’ve ever experienced. At hole 11 the Marshall finally rolled up to us (my group and another 3 some were all sitting on the tee box waiting for the fairway to clear) and started asking us and the group in front of us accusatory questions about whether we had stopped to eat at the turn (none of us did, but I assure you we had time to stop for a full steak dinner with how long we sat at the 10 tee box). He then stormed ahead and said he would fix the problem. We proceeded to play 12-18 in a blazing 2.5 hours(sarcasm)! Once we finished, there was a shouting match going on with employees and patrons about pace of play, I thought about throwing in my two cents, but figured I’d never be back so it didn’t really matter. The greens were decent with the exception of some dead areas, there was sod netting all around the course that my soft spikes kept getting stuck in causing me to trip or move my ball to a spot with grass. Overall it has lost a lot of its luster over the past couple of years to me, definitely not worth $89. I’d maybe try it again if the tee times weren’t gapped at 4 min and it was priced appropriately (50-60$), but until then I’ll go elsewhere.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, TMatlock13. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Tempest Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Course was not in shape I remembered
Only play course once a year while visiting relatives. Always enjoy playing and layout a little tricky. Fairway on some holes required cart path only.
Staff was excellent as I remembered. Made tee time via GolfNow at a reduced rate.

Excellent course in great condition. it is a bit overpriced reducing the overall value.

Not worth the money
This course was like playing golf in a pasture. Cart paths were in good condition, nice club house and good greens but the fairways were awful. The water coolers on the course were empty but you see the beer girls regularly.
You needed a hammer to tee up your ball on the tee boxes. This is certainly not a $100 weekday gold course.

Great course! Going through maintainer changes…
Course is a really great design and layout! Loved playing. The course was a little beat up, due to apparent changes in Greenskeeper. I have no doubt they will get this resolved and the course will be amazing
Bad shape
For the money you pay to play a nice course… 68.00. Course was in horrible shape!

Great even when wet!
Challenging but absolutely a joy to play. Each hole has its own challenges, so you must be on top of your game. Will humble you very fast. Challenge accepted!
