Tara Greens Golf Center - Pitch 'N Putt

Tara Greens no longer has a full course to play , Starting in April 2019 they re opened but the course has been sold . Not sure if they have any plans on re opening the full course

The staff members were great; the course layout was interesting; typical straight layout on the par 4 holes, but the two par 5s were quite interesting; one had about. 70 degree turn wto the left with trees protecting that portion of the fairway which required hitting over or through some very mature trees; the next par 5 which was immediately after the first was a curved 600+ yard hole that required very long shots just to reach the green; it was a fun round that could have been more enjoyable if the greens were not quite as shaggy, but it was a fun round that played fast except for the elderly walker who challenged that I had better get through the twosome in front of him because he wasn’t going to play behind them and me; needless to say, I got through the twosome and didn’t see the gentleman until I was already rounding for the second nine and he was finishing #7.

First, I struggled on the question "Would you recommend to friends" and decided "No" because most of my golf friends would not be happy with the course conditions. I wish GolfAdvisor had option for various types of players.

If you just want to have fun with a friend and don't care about a perfectly manicured course then Tara Green is for you. Or maybe you just want to practice your swing but don't care about less than great fairways or bumpy greens. Note: some of the greens were in great shape some were not.

The layout of the course is interesting with some doglegs and long holes that will challenge you but the course conditions take away from some of the fun. I get they probably want to keep the price down but with a bit more investment in the condition of the course, they might find more golfers playing their course.

For example, even if you hit a perfect straight long drive down the middle of the "fairway" on the longest hole (#7) you ball will not be in short grass. They really take the fun out of a great drive by having crappy grass in the landing area (this was the experience for me and the guy I played with that hit the ball a mile). In fact, it is puzzling (on some holes) they way they cut the grass but my guess is that they are working with what they have within their budget.

Overall, I would rather pay a few more bucks or look for deals on GolfNow for courses in the area with better course conditions

I learned to play golf on this 9 hole course15 years ago. It has not changed much. You play the course twice. There are some 9 hole courses that do not extend that privledge. Some charge double the price to play 18, not Tara greens. They do what is in their budget to keep the conditions enjoyable. I am sure that it must be challenging for them to compete with the 18 hole courses.There are many geese in the area between the 2nd and 8th holes. The 6th and 7th holes are challenging. The bunkers need work, some I use my putter to get out. Over all it is a fun place to play without pressure. The course keeps you straight on your shots. The staff is very friendly. Try it, you’ll like it.

The course prohibited motorized carts on this day because of wet conditions due to heavy rain 2 days prior. They let me take a pull cart for free since the tee time included a cart. Some very challenging holes, especially 5-7 (625 yd par 5). All the greens were in nice shape. Many people were hitting multiple shots or playing 'best ball' by themselves. Low key golf experience, good to take a beginner out during slow times. Also has a driving range and Pitch & Putt Course on the grounds.

I only play here when the rate is less than $15. I figure it is better to come here than going to a driving rage for the same money. The greens are horrible here.

Simple 9 hole course 2 par 3s 2 par 5s and the rest par 4.

Nice course for beginners and high handicappers well maintained great pace of play and a solid driving range.

Can't beat the value here for a solid day on the course.

I have played at Tara Greens for many years.The fairways are a little barren.However they keep the greens in good shape and thats all that matters.

Course is well maintained fairway are dry greens are well watered it gets better every time I'm there

I have been playing this course the last 2 years, play about twice a week...This year there have been vast improvements to the tee boxes and greens...some holes are getting nice approached to the greens...fairways are good...some spotty areas, which i think will be corrected next year...staff is friendly and will continue to play here...

I enjoyed the Round.its 9 holes that you play twice,a little unusual but I enjoyed it.the staff are excellent and I will return soon

I go to Tara golf a few times a week

They had a miniature golf, driving range, pitch & putts and 9 hole golf.

It is perfect to play golf with family

Tara Greens had fallen on hard times. It now has new management and it is beginning to show. Greens are in good shape, tee boxes are fine, and many of the bunkers now have sand. On the downside the fairways are a bit shabby and some of the bunkers are awful. The course layout is a fair test for your game. Tara Greens is a good place to practice your game and to play a fairly quick round. Bottom line is that the course is fun to play and with continued improvements will only get better.

The greens are looking great, but the fairways have a way to go.

Greens are rock hard, fairways are rock hard, rough is rock hard, i hit a PW on to the green and it bounced 25 feet in the air.

No drinking water on the course. There was no difference between the rough and fairway, it was just weeds everywhere.

On the plus side, the carts are fast, nobody was on the course, and it was 13 dollars to pay, a good place for a first time golfer who has no comparison to another course.
