Tempest Golf Club

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!

Made a day trip from the DFW. The course layout is great - very interesting! Coming out of winter, the course has some rough patches in many of the fairways. The greens were relatively slow, but was pleasantly surprised that there were very few ball marks. They have done a good job with the greens. Overall, very pleased with the value. Burgers in the restaurant are good! Will return.

This course is a hidden gem in East Texas…With Tempest being NON PRIVATE, you can enjoy your game and settle in to Neptunes and see the hospitality side…The staff will bring your day to a pleasant close…Come prepared to return.

The greens were in thin condition

They putted little slow but they held shots and putted true.

The tee boxes and fairways were firm considering the amount of rain recently in the area. Idk if the fairway has is still dormant but I expected the course to be a little greener and softer for this time in April. Over all I really do enjoy this course and the layout. Played on a Monday so it wasn't too busy but did get held up some in the back 9. Also the GPS on the 2 carts that I tried didn't work. The one I used said every hole I played was 999 yards.

Best course in East Texas. Tee boxes are great, Fairways are great and of course the Greens are fantastic!!!

This is one of my favorite courses to play but there is no course monitor monitoring pace of play and the times are way too close together because Randy Wade just wants to make as much money as he can regardless of how it might affect the players.

Hard to beat tempest - hats off to the grounds crew for keeping this place in superb condition.

Nice courses, nice people, but….When i made the tee time they didnt tell me there was a tournament going off in front of us. When i got there they told me they had to move my tee time back 1/2 hour because of the tournament, but “they were playing at a good pace”. First Red flag, but i had my grandsons with me and they wanted to play. Finally teed off and played the first two holes at a “reasonable” if not quick pace (30 minutes for 2 par 4s). Then we waited 50 (not a typo) minutes on the 3rd tee while 5 groups that were backed up teed off. After that we only waited for one group on every tee, until we finished 9, when we quit. If i hadn’t bee playing with my grandsons it would have been the worst golfing experience of my life. So, good course, but check to see if there is a tournament going on when you arrange for a tee time.

A little course knowledge helps the score but it’s always a pleasure to play Tempest.

Very challenging course especially if you are on a bit in age and aren't used to hiking both dates I played cart path only so was very good exercise for me love the course just can't wait to play it when the cart path only is lifted will return enjoyed playing great course must do a lot of thinking on club selection on most holes or you might find your shot short of the green on your Approach shot once on the greens a real pleasure to putt rolled very true a must play if you are in the east Texas area..

Got to play Tempest again. Always enjoy the course. A little slower greens than usual.

In general I enjoyed this golf course. All staff were nice and professional. Other patrons appeared to be locals, and not too engaging. Apparently this course holds moisture. It has been almost a week since raining, and I had significant mud on my ball after almost evey shot; fairway, rough, or other. Greens were nice, but could have been quicker, but they have significant breaks and contours that would make greens extremely difficult if faster. A couple of greens are overly contoured and would have been better designed if more subtle. My only complaint is my on fault; I am not a fast player and when a group gains on me, I assume its me being slow, so I speed up. My son and I felt pressed by a twosome behind us and so I picked up our pace. We played poorly and felt like we were probably slow because of our play. Aftet 18 holes, I looked to see how long it had taken us to play... 3:15! We weren't playing slow... they were playing fast. Maybe its me, but under 4:00 seems fair for players that only play once a week at best and want to enjoy golf. I will return and try to enjoy it more.
