Quick round

First time here, will go back.

Fantastic customer service and very friendly. Easy to get registered and ready to play.

Course was pretty good and surprisingly a lot of water holes. Lost a bunch of balls but it looked like they were draining their lakes. Lots if bills available to retrieve but who cares. It was muddy.

If I can shoot a 96 on my first real time out, then it must be a pretty easy tract.

I liked it but a bit hard to navigate.

Not a golf course

It is a crime to call this a golf course. There is no distinction between the fairways, rough, greens or tee boxes. Clearly a municipal course that’s been left to die and developed in the near future. Do not under any circumstances pay to play here. I’ve played at many courses across North America and have never felt the need to leave a poor review until today. Golf Now needs to discontinue their relationship with this course, it’s a disservice to their members to offer them tee times here.

Busy day

Great day for golf. They had a tournament so it was CRAZY busy. Wish I would’ve known somehow that there was tournament going on I would’ve booked for 9 instead of 18. The staff was amazing, as always, and the course was good, as always. I absolutely love playing at Sammons. Great, great course especially for the money. Always look forward to playing there.

Nice course to play

I had not played the course in a very long time. I was pleasantly surprised with the condition, of course, considering the time of year. I look forward to playing again in warmer weather.

Scathing

Used to be my home course and played here for about 5 years with no problems. Turns out the staff here have no integrity and will lie about you once they decide they dont like you. Lets be honest, this course has been remodeled twice in the last 15 years, costing millions of dollars, and they continue to run it poorly. The greens will be half kept and they continue to blame it on winter grass timing, well its your fault the greens suck no matter what the excuse is and you are costing Temple millions of dollars. All of the water hazards are over run with an exceptional amount of trash waste. There is trash everywhere along the water banks, it is disgusting. Could be a beautiful course with beautiful water but it is definitely not. Last time I played 90 percent of the greens were 90 percent dirt. They remodeled since then and purchased new greens at the cost of the local tax payer but I know from friends that have played recently that they continue to decline in quality. Time for new management and greens keepers at the once beautiful Sammons park golf course.

Very strange layout.

The routing of the golf holes is very strange, with many times not knowing where to find the next tee. Lots of water. That was ok. Very noisy with I 35 and train tracks nearby. The course does have some very challenging holes and because it was fall, the grass was brown and there were many leaves

Ok course.

The course is in pretty fair shape but the “smart carts” are horrible. Constantly beeping and shutting down. VERY frustrating.
