Sammons Golf Course

Links type layout, could use a little better direction between holes to find next hole. Nice course layout and good condition. Greens were very quick after the dew dried. Only bad remark was with Bermuda grass fairways, if you were not in the fairways proper, you better plan to drop another ball because you probably will not find it.

Really friendly staff. Great pace of play. Greens in nice shape. Would recommend better signage on course (especially to #5 from #4). Looking forward to going back.

Had a great time today. The staff at Sammons are friendly and informative. Great service in pro shop and diner. Food was excellent. My Blt helped me get more birdies on the back 9. ;). I really have nothing negative to say about the course. It’s in great shape for the price. The technology setup in the carts is awesome as well. I would like to recommend placing yardage markers in the range. I used my range finder but not everyone has one. All in all. Great experience. I am going to get a membership this month before the fees go up on Oct 1.

I have played Sammons many times over the years, and it is always a great experience! Fun course, friendly staff, and great food at grill. Lately there have been two shortcomings that impact the speed of play. Number one is the length and thickness of the rough. It is tall enough that if your ball ends up there you can't find it unless you accidental step on it. What's worst is that the ball you step on isn't even yours! You waste a lot of time searching for a ball you'll never find! Second, no drinking water on the course. I know that with Covid-19 this has become a health issue, but with temperatures in the triple digits, it is also a health issue. More has to be done to help insure players can stay hydrated in dangerous heat conditions.

This is a great municipal course! 14 holes have water in play. While the course is pretty short compared to others, it makes up for it with narrow fairways and obstacles. I found it pretty challenging considering the length. Greens are rolling great right now And for $30 it was a steal. Gave me a free bucket of balls too. Food was awesome at the turn. I’ll be back.

Off Course amenities are great. Staff is friendly. Greens are terrible

I played Sammons with my brothers on the afternoon of 8/7. We booked a tee time for 3:40 pm assuming we would have plenty of time to finish before dark. The course is about what you would expect for a cheaper municipal course - playable but a little rough around the edges. The greens on the front 9, which had recently been aerated and were pretty bumpy, but we would have not complained about the round at all had it not been for the lack of customer service we received.

I gave a 1 star rating for 2 reasons:

#1 - there was absolutely no way to get any water or other beverage on the course for the back 9 which is simply inexcusable in Texas in August. There is no water on the course which is indicated by signs in the clubhouse, but they still ask that you not bring personal coolers onto the course. To make matters worse, when we made the turn (at round 5:15 pm), we were told in the clubhouse that they could not sell us any beverages because they had already closed up the grill area so we were left with the decision to play the back 9 with nothing to drink in 95 degree weather or leave early. Even for a slow afternoon, this is unacceptable customer service and golfers should be warned about this and encouraged to bring their own coolers if this is going to happen.

#2 - course employees began collecting flags from the greens at about 7:15 pm, about 1 hour before sunset and a full 30 min before the time carts were required to be returned according to signs in the clubhouse. We were left to play the last 3 holes with no pins for no reason other than that clearly course employees were hoping to go home early. If the course wants to close early, tee times should no be booked after a certain time or there should be warnings issued to those who are unfortunate enough to try to play here in the afternoon / evening.

Tee locations make zero sense and are poorly marked, but the course is fun with good greens and lotd of water to contend with. Great course for the price.

They are doing a great job with this golf course. The greens are in great shape. A few have spots on them, but overall they are nice, fast and roll well.

The pace is really slow because 3 other courses within 30 miles are in terrible shape....one being unplayable. Everyone is coming to Sammons which makes for some slow play.

Very slow pace for the day, the greens and fairways could use some love. The course is challenging and quite fun. Definitely a decent public course.

Course layout is confusing. No signs directing you to the next tee box and no map provided.
