A course for your whole bag
This is not your standard golf course. It has lots of challenges and demands accuracy. You must navigate each hole precisely and be patient for those scoring opportunities. Conditions are great even though hole 14 was closed due to maintenance. We will be back!
Excellent Golf - Dictator Carts
This is a GREAT muni-course. The greens and fairways are in excellent shape. The layout is nice and challenging. The only complaint I have is the carts with course gate software. How many times did my cart beep and stop telling me I was off the course when I was...you guessed it - driving on the cart path.
This happens 4-5 times per round. Also, you leave the cart path and rather than sounding an alarm that gives you 20 seconds to turn around - that would be nice. But instead it beeps and your cart stops. This gateway software needs improvement OR the guys in the pro shop need to make some edits. This is highly annoying.
Crowded and swampy
To be avoided. Quit after nine holes. Paid for a tee time but still had to wait in line for 30 minutes to tee off. Poor conditions -- standing water everywhere, very little grass. Carts refused to operate -- said we were in restricted areas when we were on the cart path. Insanely crowded. Bad layout where you have to drive through active fairways.
Post rain
Always enjoy playing here. After all the rains it is in very good shape. Some odd tee box locations due to the wet conditions, but that golf. Staff are great. A shout out to the kitchen staff. My Canadian friend who had never sampled a corn dog before. Welcome to Texas buddy. Get out and play! It an interesting course and worth the drive. Fore!
First Time
This was my first time visiting this course. The cart I was given kept malfunctioning and we spent the first 30 minutes trying to get back to the clubhouse. The girl put our second cart on staff mode to eliminate the problem and it worked. We only played 5 holes due to the weather and no staff were available for me to ask for a rain check. The course was nice and I enjoyed playing what I could.
Mowing
I’ve always enjoyed playing at this golf course for its well-designed layout and the challenge it presents. However, I was concerned to see lawnmowers being used on the fairways while they were still flooded. This has led to dead spots on the fairway, which can be frustrating and affect the quality of play. I hope the course management will address this issue to maintain the course’s excellent standards.
Pace of play
I’ve played this course multiple times over the last 2 months. The pace of play has been an issue every time I’ve been at this course. There isn’t a marshal to enforce pace of play or to make people play in groups. During this round, I had to start on hole 10, slow pace of play, about 2.5 hours to play 9 holes. Got to hole number 1 after the turn and there was about 6 carts waiting to tee off. They began letting people start their round on hole one, leading to even slower play. I left after 9 holes because I didn’t want to wait for 3 other groups to t begin their round and then be behind them. Asked for clarification in the pro shop and I was told that they must be starting the scramble tournament.
Awesome Layout
Greens were a little patchy in places but for the most part rolled true. The grill employees were rude but that doesn’t take away from the play of the course! Will be back!
Conditions are getting worse
I like the staff in the pro shop but unfortunately they
may be the best thing going here. The golf course has potential but the playing conditions are trending worse and they aren’t very good now. Tee boxes lack grass, fairways are spotty and weed infested and the greens are also lacking grass, but possess planet of weeds. Green fees are dirt cheap and that may be part of the problem. No revenue to maintain the course. They recently purchased new GPS golf carts and they are nice. But the lack of signage on the course to direct you to the next tee and the poor playing conditions make it hard to leave a favorable grade.
junior championship coarse
Risk vs. Reward style coarse. Nothing long with fast greens.
This course is the worst one in temple
Terrible greens, no golf etiquette, and random kids are allowed on the course to ask for “rides” on the back of carts. Absolutely ridiculous. Do not golf here, go to Storms End or ANYWHERE else.
