re: Need opinions-Tempest Golf Club in Gladewater

There is no ditch on 5 unless you go way right there is a creek that runs through. Now the fairways sloped pretty heavily left but unless you play a heavy draw usually won’t roll into the woods.

6 you should never have an issue with a straight drive unless you play a fade your shot less than 250 Off the tee. Once you clear the cart path there are hills left and right that feed to the middle. If you can clear the cart path off the tee you get an extra 50-75 yards from the downhill slope.

8 is a pain in the arse. You really do have to play a fade or lay up and even a good tee shot hit to the wrong part of the fairway can roll into the creek. Bad design that can punish even a good drive sometimes.

9 is a little tricky since it’s a blind tee shot with water left that some people don’t notice. Go a little left which looks good off the tee and you can be wet.

11 same at 8. Fairway heavily sloped left and even a good tee shot can roll into the woods if it’s drawing.
