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.

Crazy Course layout

If you live in Temple Texas then its nice to have a municipal golf course to play. With that being said I would not recommend anyone outside the area to waste any time to travel there to play. Course had a strange layout and is not sign posted to know where the next hole is. While the greens were decent the fairways were in rough shape as was the rough.

Cannot comment on the bar and food facilities as COVID certainly has caused restrictions so was not able to sample anything.

It's been awhile since we last played at this golf course. What used to be the front nine is now the back nine and the back nine is now the front nine. Not saying that is a bad thing. This is definitely a good golf course. We will go more often.
