Sammons Golf Course

A year ago, I would have a much different opinion of Sammons. In the last year, the course has come a long way. It is short so if you are looking for a course to test your mid iron game, you may want to go elsewhere. The back side is odd with 3 par fives, 3 par fours and 3 par threes. The course layout is hard to navigate as there is almost no signage to direct you to the next tee. All of that said, things have improved a lot. The course condition is quite good, especially considering it is late December. Much better than a year ago. The greens have gone dormant and they are as fast as glass, but they putt true. Recently, brand new GPS enabled golf carts were added. There is still a glitch on the GPS system, but they work and it’s a nice add. Sammons is a challenging layout given the short length, with a lot of water to deal with. I would recommend it to anyone. Terrific value for the money.

Some of the tee boxes are in rough condition and the fairways are hard as a rock

The slowest ace of play course in the area. Where’s the marshal? A few signs would be very helpful - difficult to navigate. Lots of water holes. The snack bar is good though but the range balls were grassy and had dirt all over.

Was paired with another person pace of place was painfully slow, after the 9 the other guy left and I got paired with a 5some.. so 6 of us total. Horrible pace of play and couldn’t get a refund. Please don’t go here if you’re slightly good at golf

My wife and I started playing golf this year, and Sammons is one of our closest municipal courses. We've probably completed the front nine a solid ten times and the whole 18 twice. We noticed a recurrent problem with people new to the course: a significant lack of signage to direct golfers, especially between holes 4 to 5 and 11 to 12. The path between 4 and 5 is legitimately dangerous due to the steep decline and broken, uneven concrete. Besides these relatively easy fixes, this affordable course is moderately challenging for beginners, but it does tend to be crowded and frequently backed up.

I’ve been playing Sammons for decades. PLEASE get the Florida sinkholes repaired.

First time playing since they've done it the greens were in unbelievable shape Fairways for good highly recommend this place

Was a good day in the course. No fault of course for all the dry, hard ground and water restrictions. Still had nice areas around the recently aerated greens. With the hard ground, the ball really ran!

Good layout. Tough course with lots of water holes and turns. Greens were recovering from aeration but good. They need to install a few signs to help navigate the course. We drove around looking for hole 5 and hole 12 and had to ask other golfers. Fairways had some decent grass but firm and dry overall with dry area “craters” that you’ll want to avoid. The tee boxes were rock hard and a challenge to get a tee into. Pro shop and kitchen staff were great but the beverage cart only came by once when we were on hole 10, after we stopped for lunch. Install a few signs, water the tee box a bit, and you have a pretty good course to play at.

I need a refund or credit for this round. I was unable to play due to a family emergency!

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.

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 signs on the course directing to next hole.

Cart paths everywhere but no directions.
