Rating 74.4

Tanglewood in South Lyon is home to 27 holes of championship golf that are collectively known as "The Lion." The holes are dived into three nines: the North, South, and West; that are played in three different combinations. The golf courses sprawl across a gently rolling landscape, which doesn't offer dramatic elevation changes but it is undulating enough to make finding a flat lie no easy feat. The South/West Course is tight, offering little room for error. There are creeks and ponds that come into play several times throughout and there are also out-of-bounds in play on most of the tee shots. The sixth hole on the West nine is called the "Michigan Hole," since the green is shaped like the lower-peninsula of Michigan, accented by a geographically correct replica of the Mackinac Bridge. The South/West combination is the club's most popular.

Great course for the money.

Came out 6/15 for my birthday with my son. We had a great time. Course was very nice much better than expected for what we paid. It has its difficulties with water all over. Greens we're in excellent condition. No complaints really at all. Would absolutely go back for more.

Course needs water

Tanglewood is a very nice course. Today, however, the greens would not hold as they were too dry and hard. That most of the holes were cut on slopes added to the difficulty. I have played here many times and never saw the greens so firm. Other than that, I like this course and will play here again.

Great course

Only draw back was the bunkers. Very rocky sand. It had rained the day before, so they were heart, packed firm and unplayable. Put the number of rocks in them raised concerns if you were to hit out of them.

On the positive side, the greens were in great shape, the rough was thick, but everything was very well maintained. For an April round in Michigan, all in all a great experience.

Spring golf

Understandably the course was in rough shape after a long winter. Tee boxes and greens need a lot of work. Practically no sand in the bunkers. Hopefully will improve as the weather warms up. Pace of play was good. Staff was excellent

There was too much sand on the greens on the North Course, so the ball wouldn't roll.
