Refund
I need a refund or credit for this round. I was unable to play due to a family emergency!
Not Awful
Ehh check in. Friendly starter. Weird layout. The total absence of signage makes the weird layout a challenge — you will absolutely end up driving around and having to ask regulars where to go your first time here. Conditions seemed fine. Punched greens but it’s a necessary part of grounds-keeping. Probably not a go-to on a Sat/Sun morning for me unless other courses are slammed, but would not hesitate to return for a practice round after work once it cools off later in the year.
Needs rain
Fairways and rough were very dry but still have grass to hit off of. Greens were just aerated but held and putted pretty quick.
No signage
No signs on the course directing to next hole.
Cart paths everywhere but no directions.
Water…water…
106 degrees!! and no water coolers on the course…Come on man!!! Still enjoy playing the course..even the quirky crisscross in the middle of the course in which a first time player would have no idea where to go.
course layout very confusing for newcomers. if we had not joined another twosome, we would have been driving all over the place.
no marker directing you to next hole, etc.
needs more signage.
Fun course
This is the type of course that you have to play smarter than harder and it is fun. More signage is needed to know where to go for the next tee especially for those not familiar with the layout.
Play Elsewhere
Visitor to Temple. Played this course. Layout is ok, conditions so so. Greens were consistent. Biggest negative and the reason I won’t return is the absence of signage directing u to the next hole. In my 45 years of playing golf I have never seen a course so lacking in signage. Folks I spoke with said the lack of signage is intentional ..... the city will not allow signage. Why? Who knows. Regardless, it demonstrates a real poor impression of the city of Temple to golf visitors. Last item, the cart paths need repair. If you aren’t paying attention you will get rocked big tome on the cart path. Lots of golf courses in 30 min tedious Play there! Sammons does not want you
Much Improved Course
Sammons is in pretty good condition. Greens roll true and the fairways and tee boxes were good. The only issue of note is the lack of signage to get you to the next tee. If you take a wrong turn after playing the 4th hole, you’ll end up at the 12th tee box. A couple of tee boxes have hanging tree limbs that could affect your shot. Other than that, a good test or golf with numerous water holes.
Great Course!
Greens were fast and nice! Even the temp green was great! Played from the blues but wanted to play from the the blacks but they were not there. But the courses is great! I’ll be back for sure, better than the Austin courses just shorter. Staff was very helpful, great practice area. Thanks great to play a well manicured course!
