Where’s the Water
The course was in good shape for. early February. Fairways brown but greens we in very good condition.
One complaint. Understanding that it’s February, It is 70* (not the 100* and high humidity of August) and I did expect water jugs in the boxes on the course. I let the guy in the shop know after the 6th hole, but he acted as if I was making it up. Got a cup of water in the bar and went to the 7th tee.
Thank you for reviewing us. We see you rated the course 3-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve before your next round. Feel free to comment on this review or reach out to the team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Tempest Golf Club, and we hope to see you again soon.
Pricey
Well designed Course. Greens are Super Slow however it’s Winter play. Fairways have multiple bare spots in need of grass replacement. It’s a nice course but a little too pricey to support a $90 price tag. It’s a $55 course.

Excellent golf course
The golf course is well maintained and I want to come again if I have a chance.
Great even when wet!
Challenging but absolutely a joy to play. Each hole has its own challenges, so you must be on top of your game. Will humble you very fast. Challenge accepted!
Challenging course both days I played cart path only..
Very challenging course especially if you are on a bit in age and aren't used to hiking both dates I played cart path only so was very good exercise for me love the course just can't wait to play it when the cart path only is lifted will return enjoyed playing great course must do a lot of thinking on club selection on most holes or you might find your shot short of the green on your Approach shot once on the greens a real pleasure to putt rolled very true a must play if you are in the east Texas area..

Great day at Tempest
Course was great. Very challenging. I had a hard time reading greens , but thats nothing new lol... got a GREAT deal on golf now app!!!
Too challenging for me!
Beautiful course beyond my golfing capabilities. You know what though?! Challenge accepted. I’ll be back!! Stunning course with hills that can give you multiple lies within your round. Can’t wait to go out there again once I shave some strokes off my game…. Staff is phenomenal!
They didnt have proof of payment
When i arrived after making full payment on golfnow they had no record of payment.
A true test of skill
One of the most fun courses I’ve played in terms of challenge and layout. Almost need someone who has played the course before to have a fair shot at it. Lots of little strategic pieces of fairway or approach. Greens were on the tougher end of the spectrum but not the trickiest. Staff was surprisingly plain for a nice course so far out, almost seemed like they would rather not have guests playing. Would still go back, course itself is just too good not to do so.
Better 1st time
Second time to play this course. Both sand bottles where empty in the cart so unable to fill diviot. Pace of play was very slow even after joining with a threesome had to wait for every tee shot ad approach. Two college golf players behind us would be waiting at the tee with us many times. Fairways were eroded in places and grass was scarce. Greens were ok but a little slow. Not the same course I played last time. Very challenging especially at 4.5 hour pace😩
Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Tempest Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Country Club Attitude gets old
The management is by far the worst I have experienced in my 18 years of playing golf. It's really unbelievable they treat customers this way, basically play or leave it doesn't matter. FYI, they were not rude to me but to other customers that are friends of mine. As for as the course it's fabulous! Highly recommend.
Hello. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Tempest Golf Club.
