Nice course
First time there played with a couple locals they showed me the way (no signs to next hole) You cant go wrong for the price
Good course
Not a hard course but a number of challenging holes at times the pace of play good be better
Mediocre course
The pace of play was terrible. Fairways were right on top of each other so it was like playing dodge ball on the golf course. If you have never played there before it’s hard to know where each hole is because cart paths zig zag across each other.
Needs signage and water stations
The course is not easy to navigate and has very little signage. Really difficult to find the next tee box sometimes. We played on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and there was no beverage cart and there is no drinking water on the course. Also, no outside food or beverage allowed. It was a hot and thirsty round in 100 degree weather. Last thing…we were told to have our cart back by 745 pm…not a problem. Unfortunately, at 7pm, the staff started hovering around us on every hole. They would sit in their cart on the green while we hit our approach shots and then take the flag and follow us to the next hole. This started on hole #15 and made for a really awkward and unenjoyable end to the round. It’s cheap but you get what you pay for.
Excellent Greens, Good Fairways - Bunkers Need Help
I have played this course dozens of times since 2015. I have never seen it in such good shape. They overhauled the greens over a year ago - they are in excellent condition. The course layout is very interesting and can be challenging. The bunkers need help. Most are wet and the sand is thick.
The carts have a gate system in them and it is very annoying. Several times we get a warning about staying on the cart path...while we were on the cart path!
There are few cart signs, thus you have NO IDEA of when you are leaving the "fenced" area. They need to give you more warning before having the cart shut down. This cart "fencing" is the worst part of playing here.
A good muni course
Great day for golf. Easy check in. Marshal attempted to speed play. Group of 5 guys (who should have used forward tees) made for a very slow start and backup. Got better on back nice. Greens in good shape and challenging. Went as two-some and added 1 player to group. Nice guy and enjoyable addition to the group. Will go back, but not likely on a Sunday morning.
Not the best
We booked this last minute to play with my son and his friend at college. I didn’t have any of my clubs / equipment but called and they said the had house clubs we could use. They were all vintage! Half were lefty, and the other half were things my grandfather donated. I ended up playing with a 3 wood, 7, 3, 68 wedge, and a putter that was donated from the local putt putt course (but they were free so I digress).
The first hole the starter pairs 3 of us up with a 2 some…. Yes he started us with 5. Half way down the fairway he came and told us to pick up our balls because people were waiting?? Dude there’s 5 of us and the tee box in front of us was having a cart party anyway.
The course itself was ok / average. Although the signage from hole to hole was non existent and more like playing in a maze to get to the next tee box. How hard is it to spray paint some arrows on the cart path or but some signage up? The front 9 was poorly designed and multiple times golfers from other tee boxes were hitting in our general direction…. Scary. The back 9 was nice, wide open, picturesque, but we only were able to play 4 of the holes (our time restraints).
The cart girl and the pro shop staff were really friendly, and most of the golfers we ran into were great.
I’d say that this is a good course if you’re out drinking with buddies, don’t care about keeping score, or want to teach your young child. Other than that, I wouldn’t recommend. (Maybe I’m spoiled from AZ golf courses though)
Confusing layout and hole markers
I lost more balls on this course than any other course I have played on. Suggest making it slightly easier for the average player.
My biggest problem was getting lost when trying to find the next hole, especially the chaotic mess of unmarked pathways that converge around Hole #5. This can be solved by adding hole direction signs and markers. Suggest painting direction arrows on the path, and sign posts pointing the way to each hole at the Hole #5 convergence area.
Great course! Need better tee time management!
I love playing at Sammons, however almost every time I got I pair up with someone just to keep a pace of play since they don’t really enforce a foursome rule. I think if they grouped more people together the. Everything would Be great!
Nice course
You have some challenging holes over water but overall a nice course to play
No water or ball cleaners on course.
Greens were in pretty good shape, but fairways were mainly weeds and dirt. Also, there was no water on the course or ball cleaners.
signage
it was often hard to find the next hole due to cart paths crossing each other etc. Needs some basic signs pointing the way to the next hole.
Poor Quality Course
The course is very congested. Trash all over. The tee boxes were unkept. The greens had very many imperfections all over. The course was very muddy. The worst of it was the pace of play. Tee time was at 0930, but didn’t get to tee off until about 0945. Took about five hours to play 15 holes. I was so frustrated that I left without playing the last three holes. They were letting groups of five play that was slowing everyone down. Marshalls need to do a better job of enforcing pace of play. The group behind mine left without finishing as well. Would not recommended this course. The only positive is that the staff was very friendly.
