Sammons Golf Course

It was a nice golf course with fairways and greens. The guy who signed us in was great and marshal, but some of the others were not. Coming from Georgetown, disappointed with some attitudes of other players. I guess they thought they were in the pro circuit.

Fun round of golf. Greens were a bit inconsistent between the front nine and the back nine but fun nonetheless.

Sammons GC is a beautiful and sprawling property. Wide fairways and a links layout make it a forgiving course for beginners. Water plays a role on almost half the holes but a couple of short par 4s give you a chance to score. It was rainy but the greens held up very well. I will be back.

Nice public course, easy to find of off I-35 in Temple. Course condition was pretty good, although the greens could use some work - grass was patchy in several spots. Course layout provided plenty of challenge, with multiple water features to play over. Mix of long vs. short holes was nice. In-cart GPS system gave good views for each hole. Consistent with comments others have left, we had some difficulty finding our way from the green to the next tee on a couple of holes. The GPS system helped some, but also gave confusing messages. I’d like to see more simple old school signs - “12th tee this way ->”. Staff was friendly and helpful. Absolutely would play this course again - overall a good value.

The greens are in very bad shape for mid April. I understand that the winter was not easy for the course, but the greens haven't been cut and rolled, they are in very bad condition with weeds growing in the greens. I won't play here again until the city gets the course back to a playable condition.

The only complaint I have is with "Golf Pass" booking website, they have screw it up so badly that it has become impossible to use in any functional way, I now have to call the course and make verbal tee times.

Also, the constant spamming of my email to rate/review the course...since booking a tee time online has become more difficult than calling, I am hoping this is the very last unsolicited spam email I will ever recieved.

Please have the holes marked "cartpath only" and/or have the GPS alert you to that BEFORE you drive out on the fairway of a "cartpath only" hole. It seems simple to do - signs or electronics. We have a rover on Mars sending sample data back to earth . . .

I ended up canceling the tee time due to an emergency. I like the course because I’ve played it a number of times already.

Course is average of what you would find for a city course. Could be a great course with some work. #1 fairway needs leveling out. Very lumpy. You can hit a nice drive down the middle and your ball ends up in hole or on top of a mound. Clean trash out from around the edges of the lake and creeks, cut down dead trees, remove large stumps that havebeen there for a long time. Clean up and landscape #11. A little work on that ditch and it would be a pretty hole. A nice fence along the west side of the course from Adams Ave to the RXR so you dont have to look into people's yard. Repair and maybe reroute some of the cart paths and clean up the junkyard behind the fence at #5 tee box. I know its a lot but a little a a time would make a big difference.

Play the course for the first time and I would said for the biggest issue I had was the lack of signs to let you know where to go and to clearly mark tee boxes. By asking around to other golfers playing, I realized I was not the only one with the same issue. The layout of the course is fine but needs to create signs to let us know where to go after each hole specially when you are not familiar with the course. Otherwise a decent experience with staff and amenities.
