Sammons Golf Course

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.

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.

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,

this is september 2022, i stopped playing this course back when they reinstated no water on course to drink

or wet a towel. My bad figured water back after almost a year or more, really they still think you might get covid

from water container on course. wont be back till i see in writing water jugs back 93 deg and 45% humidity and know wind not right

Course is pretty short but has some outstanding par 3 holes over water. Fairways in really good shape

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.

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

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

The course layout is really cool, and it was in fairly good conditions for being in a drought. What really rubbed us the wrong way is that by 7:30, probably 45 minutes before the Sun even set, the guy at the club house came out onto the course and removed all of the flag sticks from the holes. We teed off at 4:20, and finished before 8. Ok our last two holes, the flag sticks were removed so we had no idea where to aim. The golf carts had gps, so it was not like they couldn’t see there were still three groups behind us still playing as well.

Greens had been recently airated, plus could nit play 3 holes sue to maintenance watering greens.

This is the course I play most often. The course is in really great shape. The greens were redone around two years ago and they are really good.

There are some details lacking in playing Sammons. There is very little drinking water on the course. We bring our own water and electrolyte mixture - it is very hot and the course needs to put drinking water out. This is a COVID holdover that must be corrected.

It does not get dark until after 8pm and they sell 18 hole starts up to 5pm. But they remove the flags at around 7pm. NOT GOOD. Why do you even need to remove the flags? I guess locals have stolen some of them in the past. I do not like paying twilight rate and then having no flags for the last 6-7 holes.
