Awful Conditions but Cheap Round

We teed off any 20 minutes late due to a backup. We still finished in 4.5 hours. So pace of play wasn't an issue for a Saturday.

Every single green had crabgrass growing in. Some worse than others. Could be the time of year but I haven't experienced this elsewhere. Tee boxes were horrific. Mostly sand/dirt. Also no water on the course on an 86 degree day was very surprising to me.

We only paid $35(hot deal) per person on a weekend. So I feel like the value was fine. Just feels like the course has gone downhill since I played last.

First Time Playing

Course was ok, conditions were decent for winter weather. A bit confusing navigating from hole to hole. They need better signage. Hard to tell the 2nd cut from the fairways but all in all the course isn't too bad for the money. Will play again!

Long day on the course

It took nearly 6 hours for our round. There were at least 2-4 groups on every hole. I don't understand why Sammons lets so many tee times out.

Long day on the course

5 1/2 hour nearly 6 hour round. Cartpath only day when maybe only a few holes required that. Greens needed to be mowed. I have a little toughs of grass growing that would shift your ball near the hole. There was an average of three to sometimes four groups on a hole. Cart paths Desperately need dirt or gravel, grading around the edges of the car paths.

Excellent course

Easy to make reservations. Staff is well organized and very helpful. Course is challenging with a fair amount of water hazards. Carts are well equipped with Course map Gps. Food counter staff is friendly and fast. Nice menu. Sufficient parking on site. Highly recommended.

Course a wreck

Sprinkler went off right when my son was setting to off, GM was rude and very rude said what do you want me to do about it dry your clothes! Was very rude like it was our problem not his! Then when going out to do the back nine , we waited in line when it was our turn some guy came hauling but and slamming on his brake right next to our cart jumps out and starts telling us he was next yelling at us bad mistake I got out of my cart to let him in no uncertain terms that I was not to be spoken like that. He was a coward didn’t have nothing to say until driving off to go get someone to tell us something didn’t happen though but I’m sure he realizes there are still men out there that will dance.

Not coming back

Course isn't very well maintained. Too much water and wet areas where water shouldn't be naturally. Tee boxes not mowed. Carts are GPS and won't let you drive on areas that are paved rt next to tee boxes. Just a muddy mess...

Winter Conditions

Late fall and the course conditions are showing it. Fairways are thin in many places and several fairways were hard panned without much grass. Sammons is worth the time in season. Lots of water to deal with but an enjoyable course that is not long and fun to play. The driving range has reseeded and is in terrific condition.

Sunday & Monday First Timers

Greens are in great shape. Fairways and cart paths are very rugged. Grass is thin. Pace on Sunday was horrendous. Waited 15-20 minutes on every tee box. Where was the Marshall, saw him on the first tee. Tournament on Monday was good, too many "fun" holes. We drove 4 hours and spent the night for tournament. The grill was very good!
