Sammons Golf Course

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

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.

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.

Very green very crowded needs better signage. Some parts were hard but overall enjoyed it for a first time.

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!

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

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.

My wife and I played this course for the first time. The starter, an extremely nice gentleman, took the time to explain the layout of the course, including drawing a map of how to get from hole to hole. We were paired with another first timer. Several times we had to stop other golfers and ask how to get to the next hole. The people all laughed and commented about their first timer playing there. Everyone was very friendly. The course itself was playable. The fairways lacked grass in places. The greens are recovering. Overall, an average course for this time of year.

Course layout is terrible. Pace of play was ridiculous. Once we got to the 10th tee we were backed up by 4 groups and called it quits. We couldn’t replay the front nine either because a scramble was starting. Need to figure out tee times so this doesn’t happen. 0/10 would recommend.

The good: Greens were quick but receptive to approach shots. Pro shop worker and starter were nice, and professional. Food from the grill was fresh and delicious, would have been nice to order at the 8th hole so it would be ready at the turn.

The bad: Fairways and tee boxes were mostly barren or sand covered. Several tee boxes multiple players in my group broke tees simply trying to put it in the ground. Signage is needed to navigate this course and there is none whatsoever. Having played here 20+ years ago helped but simple signs with arrows to direct you to the next holes would go a long way.

The ugly: course management is lacking, there was no tournament or league going on but we started on 10 even though 1 was wide open. After playing hole 10, we had to wait for every shot, due to us being packed in like sardines. At the turn the back 9 was wide open but the starter was puting people on the front 9. Had to wait 5 groups deep to tee off on 1. Teed off at 10:30 and finished at 3:40.

Long story short, fun course with a challenging layout, but be prepared to play extremely slow and hope you can find your way navigating this wild course layout.

First time playing this course It's difficult but very fun

Staff was very friendly and accommodating they opened up the driving range for us when they didn’t have to due to weather. It was extremely slow even for being in the winter time we thought it was gonna be not very crowded, but it was. The course was ok the fairways were dormant and the rough was really green which I found funny. The greens were good and got really fast towards the end of the round. Lots of trash on the course though. All and all we had a great time because of the people we got paired with but the course was average at best.
