Tanglewood Golf Club - Championship Course

If you want to play a pro golf course play here. It is in great condition even for this late in the year and one of the most challenging golf courses you will ever play. It's not long from the white tees but because of the many bunkers and ongulating greens it's a real test.

Beautiful Day at the Course, A little Slow but we had a great time.

Highly recommend.

Awesome course great value for price. Will go back for sure.

Good course. Bent greens and fairways were terrific. Unusual in the southeast. Lots and lots if bunkers. I found 7 of them. Great value. Will return soon.

If you like a course with 99 bonkers, this one's got em! And yes, I meant bonkers. Some are unavoidable but fun.
Was not told of a $2 per car entrance fee. Never had that for golf. Our greens fee covers that. We made no use of the rest of the park. Exceptions should be made on this. A beautiful day and a nice place it was. Course charged us $49 and GolfNow quoted $39. It happens and I'm sure they'll straighten it out.

Excellent course in great condition. I would recommend it to others. It is good value and worth the trip.

Was referred to this course from one of my wifes managers. Great track. Single digit golfer. Course was in great shape, green speeds were up to par. Lots of history here. What a bargain. can't wait to play it again.

This is a true Championship golf course, framed by tree-lined fairways that define this picturesque, parkland course. The course conditions were excellent and the experience was enhanced by a perfect early fall day under Carolina blue skies. But be prepared, as this is a course that also presents a golfing challenge that will test you from begining to end, and demands your A game if you hope to post a decent score. From the tee accuracy is at premium due to the bermuda rough, and several holes demand length to set up good approach. Tanglewood also rewards the ability to work the ball off the tee, notably at #4, #5, #9, #12, and #17. The Championship course also demands well struck iron shots, as deep bunkers surround most greens waiting to swallow any mishits. The greens are also tiered and segmented into generally 3 distinct putting areas, so approaching the correct pin position is critical. Rare opportunity to play a Major Championship course that remains capable of testing even the best players.

This is the second time I played this course and it has been well maintained and difficult for me both times. You need to be a decent driver of the ball. Slicers will not do well here. Not because the holes are straight or turn right to left but because if you miss the fairways you will be in for a long day. The slopes in the fairways and elsewhere make the course very challenging. The rough is also brutal. If I missed the green, the rough was deep and made it very tough to get the ball up and down. Still, for the quality of the course, the green fee was very fair. The driving range and the practice green were immaculate. Unfortunately, the course greens had been aerated recently and, the starters assurances notwithstanding, the greens were very bumpy.

A great classic layout with a PGA Tour heritage. I wish we had not hit it when the greens had been punched less than two weeks before and they had overseeded three days before. Still well maintained, and a challenge to play when you're in your 60's and its cart path only.

First time playing the Championship Course at Tanglewood. Great layout - easy to imagine the PGA Championship being there in 1974. The course is in terrific condition - the only drawback being they had just aerated the greens. Challenging holes that test everyone's ability. This course is a lot of fun to play.

Paid $14.00 and it was too much for the course and condition, nice layout, but horrible shape...worse I've played in my 40 years of golfing and worse in the area.

Beautiful course that is well maintained except for the sand traps. There was a very thin layer of loose sand which played more like hardpan. This course has almost every green surrounded by multiple traps. requires fairly precise shots to hit the green, so if you have trouble hitting on line, lay up.
Nice facility. I like the Champions course much better the Reynolds

With not many folks on the course on a late weekday afternoon, played from the back tees just for "fun". Played 16 sand shots in 18 holes, fired a smooth 95, and can't wait to come back! The course is BIG, and the property/terrain is awesome. I thought it was in very good condition for a public course; yes, the sand bunkers were more like dirt bunkers... but hey, you're not supposed to hit'em there! Absolutely would not miss the opportunity to experience this course if you're in the area.

I appreciate and enjoy any opportunities that I have to play golf and enjoy the wonderful outdoor atmosphere. Tanglewood Golf course offer you just that.....an amazing experience and excellent grounds to enjoy the lovely game of golf. Thank you again and I look forward to visiting with you again.

Lee Trevino edged Jack Nicklaus by 1 stroke to win the 1974 PGA Championship here. There course has not gotten any easier. Played the blue tees not knowing what to expect. The 467 yard par 4 #2 answered that question in a hurry. With 98 bunkers the course plays tough. It is a lot of fun though. Would play it again but maybe move up a set of tees.

The Championship course is loaded with traps and fairway nuances that reward accuracy. The "tips" remain a challenge not always answered by a long drive. The women's tee is much more fair on distance than the typical championship style course thus making a good mix for couples wanting to play a solid track. Both courses are within an exceptional public park area.

The course designed by RTJ is challenging with many many bunkers strewn throughout the course.
The course is in "okay" condition - it has seen better days. Still, if you are in the area and want to experience an old style classic layout then play this course.

Overall the course was amazing! This was my first time playing the championship course. I definitely will be coming back.

There are a ton of sand traps, so be prepared to add some strokes to your game.
