Sammons Golf Course

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

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.

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.

What a nice, beautiful course. Exceptional!!!

Can’t say enough good things about it

The layout of course is great. The course could be managed better. No sand on most carts for divot repair. A lot of pot holes and bare spots around fairway. Cart paths are in bad shape.
Greens are doing good right now.

The greens are some of the best in this area. The bunkers are not good IF it has rained within 2-3 days. I doubt they have a drainage system in the bunkers. They tend to be wet with thick sand or hard and easy to get bounce. You have to clip the ball which is difficult. A few courses in the area have gone downhill, so Sammons tends to be quite busy. It is not uncommon to have beginners on the weekend.

A must play, especially for the price. The course conditions are amazingly good right now. This was definitely not always the case, in terms of the conditions, but now, wow! The course superintendent has really turned that place around. A "Tip of the bill" is in order for him. The greens are rolling great, so be careful if you're above the hole. The Pro and staff are very welcoming and friendly as well. I played early, so we finished in a little over 3 hours. Give it a shot, I'm confident that you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Good use of the water on the course. Kind of hard to know where the next hole was in a couple of places, Signage would have helped. Staff was friendly and the cost was great. We will be back.

Pace was quite slow Sunday, but often is when friends and family get to the course. Played with : very good golfers—behind a 5-some. Had to wait on each hole. Impatient guys behind us almost hit a young man in my group as he was about to putt! Only thing worse that waiting to hit off each tee box is to get hit into by players behind you! We dropped out after 9. Course in nice shape. Greens good overall.
