Make that trip to Temple
Austin courses are full and expensive, and this gem is just sitting there wanting to be played!! Still early in the season but really nice fairways. Greens still dealing with minor weeds, but did not impact our play. Lots of water to protect the course, so come prepared. Marshalls kept things moving and food was tasty. Will be back soon!!
Awful pace of play
Marshall did nothing but sit at the tee box, let a foursome cut in line on #10 when we had a group of two which slowed it down even more.
Did not even try to get groups to pick up the pace of play.
Really good golf course. Can be tricky to navigate especially going to hole 12 could be better marked.
Much Improved
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.
Signs and car paths
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.
First time playing since they've done it the greens were in unbelievable shape Fairways for good highly recommend this place
Dry fairways and aerated greens
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!
Could be a great course.
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.
Refund
I need a refund or credit for this round. I was unable to play due to a family emergency!
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.
