Don’t know why I continue to give this course my money

Took me an hour today to get through three holes as a solo. Greens are still in terrible shape and pace of play remains non existent. 4pm on a Saturday and stacked like firewood.

Not a happy golfer

Play the course in on the reviews it did not say anything about car path only so we went out there and played. The course was wet and the greens were not in the best of shape so I will not recommend no one to play right now.

Very disappointed

I’ve play Sammons a lot over the years. The last year 1 and half has been some bad experiences. There’s no course management out to control pace of play. It’s always over booked. It said not to mention the pro shop staff but I think they are part of it. Just rude customer service and not knowing how to work the computer for paying. For me I’m not going back to play until under new management and staff

Get rid of the controlling carts

Unfortunately I was behind a threesome that had no urgency to play. Then the golf carts were super slow and controlled by GPS that made traversing around the course miserable. After 11 holes we gave up and went home.

Same continues issues

I’ve booked at Sammons my last three rounds of play. All three times, I booked as a fourth with three randoms days in advance. When it comes to check in the day of, the clubhouse continues to kicked me from my tee time due to the group of three bringing a fourth, although I booked that time slot, causing me to get thrown out on the course as a solo in between multiple foursomes. Took me five hours my last time out to play 18 as a solo due to me getting kicked from my tee time. Don’t get me started on the course marshals. When they are not staying at the clubhouse, they are on the creek lines finding lost golf balls. Pace of play is non existent.

Great fun course for the money.

Good conditions. Hard to follow the course if you have not played before. Some cart path need to be diverted, as you are following a path directly into another hole playing into you. Be careful!

Best value itinerary in Temple area

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!

Pin ball Greens

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.
