Sammons Golf Course

lot's of water, o b lines, and trees. greens were good. great fall colors. would like to see it in the spring.

This course is located in the middle of Temple situated around Lake Polk. Several holes run beside the lake on both sides of the course. Numerous holes have unique and fun designs: greens guarded by a small water hazard or a creek running in front, forcing you to fly onto the green.
The practice green was terrible and did not represent the greens on the course which were in great shape! Cut close with nice subtle undulations. Trees are all around the course providing difficulty and protecting the course.
We played it two days in a row and plan to return. Very good value. We played on Sat/Sun. It was crowded and slow. The course attracts beginners and they held up the pace. This, however, would not keep us from playing there again.

I really like the course! The staff and grounds are maintained well and it's a challenging course. The only real complaint I have of the course is that they seemed to over book the course. When I was teeing off there were already two groups behind me and one that had just tee'd off and I was waiting on them. Other then that though the course is great and very well maintained.

If I am on pace for a 3 hour round, then I shouldn't have the head pro / assistant pro following me from Hole 15 pulling flags. This wasn't dusk...it was 615 with a good 45 minutes of light left in the day. It gives the impression that I am hindrance getting in the way of your off time.

I don't need an audience from tee box to clubhouse. If you don't want to be at the course until sundown, then find a new job that doesn't require you to respect the green fees that I have paid. It put a really foul mood on an otherwise decent round.

The staff was great from check in to the Marshall's to the Staff at the grill! The food was delish. Course looked in good shape and the pace was awesome! Would have like a beverage cart to come around. All in All great course for the money!!

Course difficulty increased due to recent renovation and changes on some of the holes, but still fun to play.

The course was in good shape and play was steady. It was a good course to play for the price. There were a couple of easy holes that made up for the more difficult ones. I really enjoyed playing this course. I will play this course again whenever I have the chance.

First time played and very nice surroundings. Lots of water.

Check in was good until they realized I made our tee time through golfnow.com that's when their attitude changed, they began to treat us differently as if we had cheated them. My advice to them is try to up sale, every golfer always needs something ( gloves,balls,tees,etc.) And we all know that everything cost more in the pro shop.

Plays much longer than listed on card, the course is in very good shape. The greens were a little slow when we played, but plenty of grass. It has several water carry holes, but it a very enjoyable track. I played with a beginner who struggled with all the water, however i thought it was very good layout. The shorter holes are lined with trouble and longer holes are more wide open. Staff was very nice. It is a strange configuration of holes, by that I mean you have to watch the signs to get from hole to hole.

If you enjoy hitting over water, then this is your course. Good layout, plenty of challenging holes, (water in play on about 12 of them) and course conditions are pretty good for this time of year. I definitely will go back, but probably will bring some less expensive balls next time.

played in early march, fairways are very thin. price about right for city course. driving range is above average

Not sure how far greens were from some tee boxes, and some par 5's. Greens were a little thick, but overall it was good. Drove the green on 1 hole, and couldn't make the green in 2 on 2 of the par 5's. Challenging course.

The weather was cold and damp on the day I played. the course is in good condition but difficult to find way around as you have to pass other tees to get to your tee. It is marked well but hard to tell which green is yours. Inner city golf!

Water everywhere. met my son there, nice meeting place between Waco & Austin. He is fairly new to the game and promptly freaked out with all the water carries. Comes into play on at least 12 of the 18 holes. Greens were basically good condition, but divot tools have apparently not found there way to Temple. Not overly long, but lot of trouble around. Strange routing of holes, be nice to play with someone who has been there before.
