Sammons Golf Course

It felt like there was more water than land. Very little room for error. Many water hazards were hidden. Others very unforgiving. No directions to tees. Got lost twice and had to ask how to find the next hole. It was my first time there. I guess if you played it regularly you would know how to find the tees and avoid the hazards. Take water. There is none on the course. No ball washers on the carts. I only played 7 holes because I was traveling without my golf and had nothing but new golf balls that tired of losing. If I had a bag full of old balls it might have been a fun challenge. As it was, it was my golf experience ever.

The course is one that is difficult the first time you play it which definitely makes it a challenge. It is not a course you can just grip it and rip it.

Pace of play is always bad at this course and no one enforces the pace two groups in front of us joined up to create a sevens one for the last 4 holes. The tee boxes are so hard you can’t put a tee in the ground. Don’t forget to aerate the tee boxes. Greens are in pretty good shape except for people not repairing ball marks.

Course is in decent shape for the price point. Playing around the lake is fun and some sort of creek or water feature is in play on 12 of the 18 holes, which makes for some interesting decisions having to be made throughout the round. The pace of play here is horrendous. Don’t expect your round to ever be less than 4 hours. Due to many tees, greens, and fairways being so close to each other, there are several backup spots that are almost unavoidable. You will wait on several tee boxes. The food and staff are great. Overall average course. If pace of play improved, I would bump it to 4 stars because it’s great value for the price.

Where do the “fairways” end and rough begins? Wouldn’t know since it all looked like rough. Terrible grounds keeping. Tee boxes were even worse. The greens were decent is about the only good thing about the course. First and last time playing there.

Had a great time with my crew ,it was a over cast loved it . I shot a 83 getting better

We have been playing Sammons on vacation for over 30 year. The course layout is unique with a large body of water and a rail line that runs through the course. For April the greens and course were in good shape despite a little sogginess from a recent Texas downpour. Friendly staff and well appointed club house. Not enough affordable public courses like Sammons.

The morning Marshall was a bit gruff, but the rest of the staff was very nice. The course was in great shape, definitely a challenging course.

The course is back in the bad condition it was in a few years ago. I know the staff can't control the weather, but this course is a muddy wet mess.

I have played here a few times over past two years. I thought the course was in fabulous condition for the end of March. Greens rolled well and fairways were beginning to grow in.

Not a terribly challenging course, but it gets you thinking for longer shots on back side.

Very minor waits on two or three holes towards the end, but decent pace of play 3.5 hrs

I enjoy the course but I have to bring extra balls. Lots of water. They upgraded the carts so they aren’t gps limited anymore. Some fairways were super hard and I couldn’t get under with the irons like I would have liked. I’m also a terrible golfer. Best bang for your buck around the area.

I'm amazed that not more fights are caught on video on golf courses. And it seems this poor etiquette and money making ambition is starting to spill over onto those that run golf courses. Maybe it's the direction America is going, but it was felt to the core today at this course.

I don't like complaining without giving ideas to maybe help.

1. It is evident that this gentleman's game is bo longer seen as such. Maybe hand out flyers to those about the game of golf. (Also, remind your a couple of your employees that we pay for there saleey)

2. You have a nice course, but you need more course martials on busy days, to teach this onslaught of newcomers how to behave.

3. PLEASE!!!! Mark your course. It's so confusing on the back 9.

If the game of golf is going to get better and to ne enjoyed by all, it's time for people to speak up when the evidence of poor etiquette is so transparent.

Conditions are a bit rough. No. 1 fairway in particular was awful. Driving a cart in some fairways is like riding a bronco. Some water hazards were lined with litter. No drinking water or ball washers anywhere. Some greens were not good.
