What a mess of a course with no signage

If we didn’t play with someone who’s played there before we’d still be riding around trying to find the next hole. We drove the wrong way several times because there was ZERO signage to guide you. How could anyone find their way around this place?! What a mess. On top of that it was in terrible shape. I get it’s winter but still a complete mess. Tee boxes were literally just dirt. No grass anywhere. Just a miserable experience. I would not recommend this course.

Good winter golf

We had a great time. COVID ducks, and this is a great escape. The course greens are well maintained. They are fast and true.

Fun Day on the Sammons Links

I play here regularly and the staff have done a great job improving the course and driving range. The new greens are amazing, dormant and fast as I’ve ever seen them, but you can still stop a well struck ball on them. I always enjoy this course because I get to use nearly every club in the bag. The change in elevation and distinctive styles of designs on the front versus back side (and water in play on 14 holes) really keeps it interesting no matter the wind direction. Defense a Target Golf style course.

Need signs to holes, and grounds staff not considerate to players

There are several incidents where the grounds staff would continue to leaf blow or weed eat while on the tee box. Also the cart path layout is very confusing and relying on the GPS in the carts don’t help. Signs would help a lot! Also the tee box marks are nothing but sticks and need to be ungraded to be easily seen.

i enjoy playing here but the course could use some overall work. lots of broken concrete cart paths, broken limbs that have been hanging from trees for a long time, all the jink and brush hauled off from behind the fence at No. 5., tee boxes leveled out, bathrooms on the course updated, dead trees cut down and removed, ruts along sides of cart paths filled in, and the dirt is all washed out from under the short piece of the cart path by the No. 15 green looks bad and unsafe. Also do not like the geo fence on the carts. They seem to not always work correctly as mine have shut down before while on the cart path.

Sammons

We love playing this course, it's a great meeting place between family members. You can find good prices on GolfNow. We played for $20 bucks each today. Today the greens had a lot of divots people have not fixed, we have not had that in the past but it was pretty bad today.

Veterans Day at Sammons

Course is just ok, the greens probably need to be rolled out and cut one last time before winter weather sets in. Some of the tee boxes are extremely dry as well, another good watering couldn't hurt, plus they are pretty chewed up. Was an ok day to play.
