Multimillion dollar makeover amazing

Unbelievable what you’ve done to the clubhouse, the course, the food and more. We were so impressed. Extremely reasonable, and what a friendly knowledgeable, professional staff. Beautiful update to the course in clubhouse. We just love it.

Great Track

Much improved course, the team here has put a lot of time effort and money into making the place better, quite a bit of tree work and they’ve added some natural areas with high grass and fescue to help frame the holes. There are a lot of water features some that come into play, they provide a nice challenge for the golfers, They just finished adding a fairway bunker at 11, which is a short Par 4 up the hill that helps frame that T-shot. The greens were pretty good rolled at maybe a 9.5 on the stimp. Bunkers were groomed and well maintained.

Clubhouse is remodeled and looks good along with a TrackMan, Putting and Fitness room.

Recommended as an improved and golf course that’s getting better.

The entire course is punched

Not just the greens…fairways and tee boxes all punched. Greens are still fast but aren’t rilling straight due to the punch.

Big come back

I haven't played this course in 10 years because it was in bad shape, but heard the new owners were putting money back into course and it was getting better. I always loved the layout of this course, so decided to come back to check it out. And they were right. The course definitely getting better they have people all over course working on new drainage ect. Area's are geo fenced so you can't drive through to help bring back fairways. Greens were perfect, which is a big thing for me. I can deal with the fairways if they're being brought back to life. Overall the course was in good shape. Club house is awesome now too. Putting green, simulators, gym. Can't wait till this course gets back in shape. Fun to play. Kudos to the new owners. Keep up the good work.

Another round, another day of horrible etiquette regarding pace of play. We were a 2-some teeing off on a Friday morning behind a 3-some and we were waiting immediately. The first issue (which I have no problem with) is that 2 of the 3 were clearly just learning. The problem was that they were teeing off from the BLUE tees and could not even reach the fairway from the tees (grown men by the way). What made it worse is that we were ON the tee box with them by hole 3 and they refused to allow us through. We were lucky enough to skip by them at the turn as they went in for food- we then finished the back 9 in less than 90 mins. Courses need to start enforcing pace for all involved.

Again- public course etiquette is dead. We were a 2-some playing behind a 3-some that had zero business playing blue tees - literally 2 of the 3 were unable to even reach the fairway from the blues & we were on the same tee box starting on hole 4- not even a thought of letting us play through from them. This continued for the entire front 9 & we were lucky to pass them at the turn by not stopping for food/drink. Great layout and still rebuilding but unless pace is enforced we won’t come back.

Overpricing themselves to death

I have lived in Tanglewood for 25 years; walk the course daily. It's my favorite golf course , not just for proximity but because of the challenging layout and unique holes. The new management is doing a great job , and I do mean great! If you haven't been this summer then you'll be walking up to a whole new , and better , scene. But the prices I am seeing are utterly absurd; 7/25/25 4pm 9 holes with a cart, $38..... Fowlers Mill same day and time - $32.

I understand the need to make up for the costs incurred in repairs and renovations but the course is developing a bad reputation for being nowhere near worth the money, since most people still remember Tanglewood from before the new owners

FIX YOUR BALLMARKS

Back in the day, Tanglewood was a pristine gem and even hosted a PGA tour event. After many years of neglect, the current crew is working hard to make a comeback. It's a nice layout that needs a little more time and TLC. Would my fellow golfers PLEASE help them by fixing your ballmarks? I repaired at least five fresh marks on every green. There were too many for me to fix on my own. A friendly staff and improving conditions help make the round enjoyable. If only we could get other golfers to help.

Great Layout

We had been avoiding this place for the past handful of years because of the complaints of it going downhill. However, that’s not what we experienced today, not even close. I’m not sure if they got a new superintendent or if there are new owners, but this is a sweet golf course! Beautiful layout, sloping greens, sloping fairways, elevation changes. Clubhouse with sims, putting areas, exercise room, food/drink, pro shop, outdoor patio. It all seems recently updated. Very nice carts with GPS and greens heatmaps. Daily pin locations seemed updated to the cart gps. Outdoor range (irons only), large practice green with slopes similar to what you will be facing on the course. I’m a low 80s guy and I can’t imagine what I would shoot here under tournament conditions. The course alone is just over 7000 yards which puts it at least a whole par four or par five or longer than your average muni. The little robot mowers are awesome. They’re like little Roombas for the golf course with their own charging stations. They avoid you, and they seem to avoid your ball! However, it looks like they may get stuck in certain areas and start digging into the ground in wet uneven areas.. It’s obviously new technology and I’m sure the maintenance staff is still dialing in the mowers and the golf course to better accept them. It was a non issue for us.

I can’t believe somebody had let a course like this fall into disrepair. Good on whoever is running the show now. You’re crushing it!

MUST Play

We played this course several years ago during the fall and I can honestly say, this time around was so much better.

The greens were in great condition, several holes had amazing views and challenging as you had to place your tee shot in the right spot. Same with the greens, of you had a chance for a two put, you had to put the ball in the correct side.

We enjoyed it and will definitely be back.
