August aeration
We wondered why they aerated the greens in August.
We assumed they did it in spring as well but if they are doing it now, might be a bigger issue.
Enjoyed the course as usual
Pretty Good
Wide open and forgiving for newer golfers. Water is in play on most holes but easily avoidable with proper club selection. Friendly staff. Would recommend.
Delayed tee off
Except for teeing off 20 minutes late, it ended up only being a 4-hour round. I think they could have done better in pushing full foursomes after the senior event.
But there started called in sick and I guess he is the only one who knows how to do that.
Nice Municipal Course
I've played at Sammons a few times now. I love the course and the care that's been given to it. My only drawback is the pace of play. I don't know if it's so bad due to the number of golfers/groups they try to cram in or if the folks in this area just play that slow, but it's hard to get into a good rhythm.
The worst backup is usually on the turn heading into the back 9 because of the folks that stop at the pro shop to get food, drinks or bathroom that take an extended amount of time getting back onto the course. Several times I've had 2 or 3 groups in front of me on the front 9, and when I make the turn for the back 9 it's 5 or 6 groups deep waiting to tee on 10.
Electronic lock out
I hated the electronic lock out. Didn’t pay attention to map and I was constantly being locked down. Won’t play there again if you keep electronic lock down on yne carts. Very annoyinh
Good course, but needs marshals and amenities
Wide open course good for players of all ability. Unfortunately we followed a foursome with a four year old who played like molasses in January. The youngster ran around and the dad let him take shots and puts that went nowhere. Need marshals to stop this from being allowed.. But even more important this course has NO WATER. It was pushing near 100 degrees. No water anywhere and no drink cart. Makes you wonder why they have a sign that says no coolers allowed if they have no consideration for the patrons.
Nice Course - Overbooked
I have played this course probably 200 times in the last 10 years. This was the most crowded I have ever seen. They oversold the course. On the back nine we were waiting 15 minutes on each tee (6 holes = over an hour) waiting for the backed up two groups ahead of us. It is ridiculous. The greens were aerated around 2 weeks ago so they are not 100% healed. These will be some of the best greens around, but right now the greens, coupled with the long waits, makes this a bad choice.
Sammons
Very green very crowded needs better signage. Some parts were hard but overall enjoyed it for a first time.
Prepare to be whelmed. Not over or under, just whelmed
Summer in TX and how do you run a successful business and not have the beverage cart going mid-morning/afternoon on a Friday? Make sure you load up before you go out as there aren’t any cooler or fountains along the course neither. Course plays slow, no one to keep pace expect a 5+ hour outing. Greens are completely different from hole to hole and there are water hazards everywhere!
Damon’s golf course review
Very good course
Plays a little bit short
If you hit it straight and stay in the fairway, you will have a good day, watch out for the water hazards they tend to creep up on you.
Staff is very friendly and the kitchen is amazing. Got everything you need.
Highly recommend if you’re in the Temple Belton area
Sammons Golf Course
Some greens had pos annua and are hard to putt. Fairways were OK but could be improved. There were so many people, and a marshal should monitor the pace. No carts were available for our tee time, but other people with later tee times already had the carts, and we were pushed back. The staff were not friendly. I may not return to this course.
