North/South at Tanglewood - The Lion
Rating Snapshot
About
Opened in 1991, the North and South Courses were Tanglewood's original championship 18-hole course before the West nine was added in 1995. All 27 holes are known as "The Lion." The North is the gentlest of the three nines and the South is a mix of trees and water while the West has water on almost every hole. The North/South course has a gently rolling terrain that doesn't offer dramatic elevation changes but it also makes a flat lie hard to find. The undulating landscape also gives a bowl-shape to most of the holes that enclose errant balls and bring them back into play. The South nine incorporates a variety of wetlands, offering a pond or marsh hovering around many of the greens. The club is consistently ranked as one of the best public golf courses in the metro Detroit area.

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.
Very nice course for the $
First time playing here. My son and I came out for my birthday. Course was very nice and well maintained in my opinion. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Would absolutely go back for more rounds.

Great Course
Course was very challenging, but also very fair. It was an excellent shape for this time of year.
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.
A great deal at a very good course
Greens were fast! Overall course in very good condition and well maintained for being so early in the season. Can’t wait to play it again real soon.
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.
Cheaters
My round would have been better if my playing partner didn’t cheat and get lucky. Karma is going to come for him.
Perfect day
Five of us played.
3some and a 2some.. Course was fantastic, staff was even better..
And the weather they ordered was perfect
