Never again

This course was in bad condition nothing green in sight, there was no organization for golf carts, people that had a later tee time had carts before us. It was our first time there and had no signs to tell where the holes were. When asked about golf carts the employee at the desk said we’ll first come first serve. One of the worst courses I’ve ever been to.

Winter golf in Temple

Course was in great shape especially for it being the dead of winter. The course isn’t overly long however it is not very walkable as there are several holes that have long treks to the next tee.

Short but Challenging

This is a shorter course but lots of challenging holes. When the summer comes around this will play shorter but still challenging. Layout can be hard to follow for the first time but will be easier to get around next time.

Noise level

I have played many courses over my 40 years and I have never encountered a golf course with the noise level as this one it is next to a freeway and even closer railroad tracks. If you’re looking for a relaxing experience this is not the place to go.

Way to expensive

I would not recommend this course. They made me pay twice and this course was not worth that much money.

Okay Condition

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

Can be better

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.

Horrible

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

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.

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!
