This place had been a favorite for our group to stay and play for a while (7 total stays in the past 4 years).
In the spring we noticed a much colder reception from the staff and were even told the course was "getting away from stay and play packages to focus on the locals". The cost has gone up a little each time. Our most recent attempt to book was met with a huge price hike and continued cold reception from the pro shop.
This place is no longer worth it. The course was average-to-above average, but not something to drive 2 hours from DFW to play. The ONLY thing that kept us coming back was the friendly service and lodge for hanging out after the round with the group. The friendly service is gone and the lodge is getting expensive while they are allowing it to fall apart. The course continues to deteriorate as well.
Instead of this now over-priced, out-of-the-way place we are going onto Airbnb to rent a house and then play multiple courses around the rental. This way we get the "lodge" but are then not stuck with one course. We also aren't stuck 35-45 minutes from a decent dinner like being out at Lake Fork.
Three or four years ago I would have rated this place a 5 and over-looked the lack luster location. Now it's not close with the more than double fee, course maintenance issues, lodge getting old with no updates or maintenance, and staff that told our group they didn't focus on us.

Going to the bathroom on the square in Sulphur Springs is quite an unusual experience! You can sit on the potty and people watch at the same time. The weird thing is when someone walks up and seems to stare right back at you! Don't panic, they can't see in but some still try to shock you with their comical antics. Hilarious, but a little disconcerting!

Situated on the Hopkins County Courthouse (an impressive structure on its own), this memorial area is very well planned and aesthetically appealing. Today was a warm sunny day which highlighted the various aspects of the Memorial. A statue of a helmeted infantryman was placed centrally among several stone benches recognizing US participation in the various wars: WW 1, WW 2, Korean War, etc. A double short fountain squirted water in a square area. I can imagine little kids running through here on hot summer days. A few tables and chairs underneath trees provide a place to eat and visit. One of the nicest and cleanest memorials we have visited.

My fiance and I stayed here and it was amazing! They had campsites, a little meat market down the road. . . Great Chicken Grenades. (stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon) YUMMM Perfect location for fishing, the dock runs right along the channel. We caught crappie, bass, catfish, and perch. They had easy access to the dock, boat ramp, and even a bait and tackle shop. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The rental was cozy, clean, and remodeled. Can't wait to revisit in the Spring.
