Sammons Golf Course

Greens have some weeds but aside from that it’s a fun course, the layout is fun

Tee off at 10:45 AM on April 5th. Booked a Hot Deal for $29. Despite heavy rain the previous day, the fairways were in good shape. The greens had quite a few different grass tufts (stubble) which affected the putting lines, but it was understandable given the overall maintenance. (Actually, it’s in much better condition than Lago Vista or Blackhawk). The course layout is challenging and exciting, featuring elevation changes, blind holes, and plenty of water hazards. At this price point and condition, I’d love to come here every week. Adding this to my list of favorites!

The course has not been able to maintain healthy greens for a while and most are all covered in weeds and one on the back nine was definitely cut too short and over watered because it is muddy, fast, and has tire treads down the middle of the green. Straight putts and trusting a line from a chip are not possible here.

Well, I thought I had played some terrible courses in my lifetime, but this one takes the grand Prize!

Fairways, none, greens, full of weeds. Tee boxes,, some holes with tee boxes flat off the ground. I feel bad for the residents of Temple having to play such a terrible golf course. Please feel free to refund me my money!!

I have been playing here for years and the course is usually in good shape and it still is (especially for February). However the greens have these little weeds growing ALL OVER THEM. It is useless to read a putt. Even a 2 footer is 50/50 if it’s going in, even if you hit it perfectly. I hope that they have a plan to remedy this quickly as spring rolls in.

Expectations are important before playing here. Public courts, great price, great staff. Layout and conditions aren’t terrible considering the price. Practice areas are great minus the range being a little hard to read distances. Recommended improvements are restrooms and signs pointing to next hole (specifically back 9).

Stuck behind a group of 5 for 6 holes. They never offered to let me play thru. Course marshal suggested I skip them. So I did on 11. On the 12 tee box they came over yelling at me for skipping them and that I was slowing the pace of play and holding them up. We argued about course etiquette for a few mins and I just picked up my ball and finally left on 12. The course marshal was right there watching the entire argument and never stepped in or said a word.

Pro shop gave me a free round.

Course is in great shape. Pro shop was great. Course marshal and the 5-some in front of me???? All @$$holes.

Played this course this morning as a solo tee time, when I got there nearly two hours early they gave me my cart and I got some range balls. The range has a really wonky shape to it but it's not half bad if you have your own little section( the range balls are cheap too)

the round itself was overall a mid experience at best. When I got to the tee I was greeted with a rather grouchy starter( the course has no martials) who tried to pull me out of my cart and pair me with someone else even tho the general manager inside clearly stated that "it was no big deal for people to have separate carts".

The pace of play was so slow overall which can definitely make or break a round. Due to the short holes and the short gaps of time between start groups there's alot of waiting.

There little to no privacy on any of the holes you could very well find yourself hitting into a completely separate group on a completely separate hole.

And NO WATER to drink on the course which is pretty brutal on a hot day in Texas.

No bev cart either which would be fine if there was water on the course..........

Felt more like casual city golf or maybe even a 9 hole course.

No matter what hole your playing it feels like your hitting into a completely separate hole.

The course overall plays okay but the staff and the other players that I interacted with seemed like a sour community,

The greens however were in outstanding conditions and I think that's a rarity for a lot of the courses for this rate. If your looking for some casual golf cheap golf that also feels like cheap golf this is an amazing spot.

Front nine always goes smooth and I soon as you go to the back nine it gets very cluttered. 18 hole round of golf last time I went took five hours. And that was just with me and a friend. People cut holes and pace of play is not kept up. Doesn’t help the fact if anyone shows up late afternoon, they get thrown on the back nine. Cutting people who have already gone through the front nine. Slowing everything down.
