Great day at Tempest
Course was great. Very challenging. I had a hard time reading greens , but thats nothing new lol... got a GREAT deal on golf now app!!!

Hello
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 4-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing at our course.
Too challenging for me!
Beautiful course beyond my golfing capabilities. You know what though?! Challenge accepted. I’ll be back!! Stunning course with hills that can give you multiple lies within your round. Can’t wait to go out there again once I shave some strokes off my game…. Staff is phenomenal!
Country Club Attitude gets old
The management is by far the worst I have experienced in my 18 years of playing golf. It's really unbelievable they treat customers this way, basically play or leave it doesn't matter. FYI, they were not rude to me but to other customers that are friends of mine. As for as the course it's fabulous! Highly recommend.

Hello. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Tempest Golf Club.

Hidden gem in East Texas
Wonderful course. I was not expecting all of the scenic holes. Loved the layout and challenging approach shots. A hidden gem in East Texas. Looking forward to my next round there.
They didnt have proof of payment
When i arrived after making full payment on golfnow they had no record of payment.
Best course around but a little pricey
Played this course multiple times and have done very well given the difficulty. However it is a little steep on the price which discourages many of my beginner golf buddies. They don’t feel that playing a decent course should be so expensive. They would rather play at one of the local “cow pasture “ courses nearby rather than having to pay so much more. I personally would be a member if it weren’t overpriced. Staff is super friendly especially at the bar/restaurant.
A true test of skill
One of the most fun courses I’ve played in terms of challenge and layout. Almost need someone who has played the course before to have a fair shot at it. Lots of little strategic pieces of fairway or approach. Greens were on the tougher end of the spectrum but not the trickiest. Staff was surprisingly plain for a nice course so far out, almost seemed like they would rather not have guests playing. Would still go back, course itself is just too good not to do so.
Better 1st time
Second time to play this course. Both sand bottles where empty in the cart so unable to fill diviot. Pace of play was very slow even after joining with a threesome had to wait for every tee shot ad approach. Two college golf players behind us would be waiting at the tee with us many times. Fairways were eroded in places and grass was scarce. Greens were ok but a little slow. Not the same course I played last time. Very challenging especially at 4.5 hour pace😩

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Tempest Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Overall great course. Price continues to increase, but one of the best places to play in the area for a challenging course.
Always a great day at Tempest
Course in good shape. Greens rolling smooth and its hard to beat the layout of the course.
