Tempest Golf Club

About Tempest Golf Club

You'd be hard-pressed to find better value golf in East Texas than this hidden gem tucked away in Gladewater. The course punches well above its weight class for a small-town municipal track, with conditioning that rivals private clubs in the area and a layout that rewards strategic thinking over pure power. What sets it apart is the clever use of mature pine and oak trees to create natural corridors and force decision-making off the tee – you'll rarely find yourself hitting driver mindlessly here. The 4.6-star rating from nearly 400 reviewers tells the real story: this is a course that consistently exceeds expectations. Walking is encouraged and the pace of play tends to be refreshingly brisk, making it perfect for those looking to escape the crowded Dallas-area tracks. Don't let the Gladewater address fool you – serious golfers make the drive here specifically because it offers the kind of pure golf experience that's becoming harder to find.
