Weekday at Sammons

Course was in pretty good shape—especially several of the greens. A couple of rough spots on cart path. Cart locked once when I had not noticed the final par 4 was cart-path only. One major improvement would be better signage on course layout. Otherwise a very pleasant day on the course.

Confusion

This course has to be the oddest course I’ve ever been to. The conditions range from decent to am I on a ski slope with moguls? The layout of this course is by far the most confusing. As you’re driving from hole to hole, you have to watch out because the cart path goes right in front of tee boxes without warning and sometimes blindly. The GPS on the carts is great, but you can’t use it on most of the holes because they are cart path only. Not to mention the tee boxes… holy cow! Not a flat spot in sight. You spend more time trying to secure your footing and judging if the ball is above or below your feet, than you do assessing where you’re gonna hit. Which, don’t get me started on that part haha. It’s like a links course, without the links. Just the confusion of multiple greens at the end of your fairway and no clue which one you should hit to. Anywho, I digress. It’s not the worst course ever. But it’s sure close to the worst one I’ve ever set foot on.

Oh and another thing, if you’re booking through golf now. Call the course and confirm your booking. It may or may not have gotten to them.

Confusing course coupled with rude staff

Really ruined the afternoon for me, they need some better directions along the course. Not just a Marshall at hole one who gives you a 15 minute crash course and grabs things from your hands.

Wouldn’t play here again even if the course was decently well kept,

Pleasantly Surprised

Overall a very nice course for the price, I would recommend to anyone in the Temple area and would certainly play again. The golf carts have the iPad like screens with hole information which is very helpful, but the geofencing is a little frustrating. I don’t mind the rules, but it would be nice if the screen told you it was a cart path only hole instead of having to find out because your cart gets disabled. The only other less than ideal part of this course is that hole layout is not clear. There is very little (if any) signage between holes, and it many cases you drive past 1-2 tee boxes before you actually get to the next hole. I think 4-5 is exceptionally confusing.

Best and only option in temple

Relatively boring course layout. The routing is extremely confusing.that being said, it’s in good condition now and greens are rolling well. If this wasn’t the only public course in temple I’d probably never play it

A Sunday Round

If you don't mind a slower pace of play and it was a Sunday then you'll enjoy Sammons, I know we did.
