I recently had the opportunity to play at Tempest Golf Course this past weekend, on 3-24-2024. While I found the greens to be adequate, I must express my disappointment with the condition of the fairways. They are severely eroded, with numerous brown dirt spots present throughout. The overall thinness of the fairways detracted significantly from the enjoyment of the game. Considering the current state of the course, I do not believe it justifies the price they are charging. I would recommend exploring alternative options, such as Pine Dunes Golf Course, which offers a superior experience for a comparable price. In light of the conditions at Tempest, I believe a maximum fee of $25.00 would be more appropriate, and it would be beneficial for the management to inform patrons of the course's current disarray. In summary, I would advise against playing at Tempest Golf Course until improvements are made to its condition. In response to owner: 3-26-2024 4:27pm Sorry the 1 photo wasn't enough to show what the issue was/is and you want to make an excuse about fairways being "washout from a nearby house". My review was to simply inform the public that $96 for a round of golf on a course that needs tremendous repair isn't worth it. Explain to your patrons that your under repair and offer a discount or a program to allow your new superintendent time to get the course back to its luster. I was in the pro shop after 9 holes and over heard the desk telling someone "the course is in best shape its been in 5 years". I don't like hearing lies, how about just saying we are under repair and working to better the course and please excuse these areas during this time of transition to a new course superintendent. See attached now, several other photos showing the same problems on other holes. I played Pine Dunes the day before and they don't have anything like this not 1 brown bare spot on their course. I will also post 2 photos showing you. The last 2 photos are from another course not Tempest Golf Club. I look forward to giving you time to fix these issues and re-review this review once the course deserves so. I only post another course to show you that North Texas golf courses are not all effected by the "harsh 2023 summer" Links at Waterchase, Iron Horse, Bear Creek, Coyote Ridge Golf Club, PGA Frisco, Cowboys Golf Club, The Cliffs, Sky Creek Ranch, Split Rail, Tierre Verde Golf Club, all green and nothing bare in the fairways. Good Luck Tempest! I wish you nothing but the best cant wait to play your course once its repaired.

Kathryn Coates did an amazing job at a recent wedding reception I coordinated at Tempest. Kathryn attended to every detail seamlessly & the food was amazing! Her staff served the guests above & beyond. And the limo golf cart send off was the icing on the cake! Thank you Kathryn & Tempest for making my job an easy one!

I had been looking forward to playing this course for a long time. We made a big mistake going out after the last group of a big money tournament. One would think these scratch golfers would play fast. Nope. Our front 9 was 3 hours so most of us went home. The course was in great shape, although very wet making it more difficult. I do recommend the course but choose the day of play carefully. They should probably consider 10 minute tee time spacing. Greed is no excuse for slow play.

Beautiful course. We drove from Weatherford, so it was a good 2 and 1/2 hour drive. We played on a Saturday(11-21-20) at 10:18a. Course was busy but organized. Great starter and playing partners that helped us not knowing the course. The director of golf and gentleman in the pro shop let us play additional holes making our trip even more worthwhile. We appreciate it! They were setting up for a wedding that evening and that looked wonderful, too. 10/10 experience and 10/10 course conditions. Come play Tempest asap. Thanks!

I was in town for a family reunion. My new to me cousin twisted my arm to go play golf on Saturday. Keep in mind I had already played different courses the prior two days. Man, am I glad I caved in to the peer pressure. This course is incredibly awesome. The course layout is picturesque with elevation changes on just about every hole. This is by far my new favorite track in East Texas.
