Catch 22

Unfortunately courses like Tanglewood are in a Catch 22 of sorts. It is a great layout and challenges even the advanced player with fairway traps, well trapped greens and tight fairways. The problem is challenging course like this don't appeal to a enough players, beyond one round, as too many favor easier courses. The reduced activity limits the amount of funds to maintain the course to its prior greatness. This is a course that held a professional tournament in its past, so it must have been immaculate conditions to match its great layout. With minimal investment it could be on par with Boulder Creek.

Fun round even after Rain

Tanglewood is always a favorite.

The course was pretty soaked from previous night rain but overall course was in nice shape, especially for being so early in the season.

Paul, the club Pro, was super helpful. Starter on duty was on top of the heavy play on Sunday morning. Thanks again!

Needs more time

Course still needs more time to get into golf shape...greens, bunkers, drainage all still need some attention...

If you catch a cheap price then play it right now, then play it, if not, I would wait until a little later on in the season.

Beautiful course with strange layout

Great course, being my first time playing it, I found it oddly challenging to go to the next hole, and often needed trial and error to find the next tee box. This course could benefit greatly from more signs to direct traffic.

What's going on at Tangle?

I've never seen this course in such disrepair. First and foremost, they have major issues with drainage, and they need to spend a lot of time and money on that, or this course is done, especially coupled with non existent upkeep. Not a single green or tee was blown off or cut. I've never seen a shaggier, slower green in my life. Every other course in my area is working to get their course into shape, while Tanglewood is doing absolutely nothing. Not a single person cutting grass or with a blower. Nobody planting the dozens of trees still out of the ground. I've never seen this course like this. I asked management if the greens keeper was on vacation, and he told me all of their equipment is in the shop. Disgraceful. This layout is nice, but whoever is running this place now is lazy, or not willing to pay people to clean and cut the course. I would be embarrassed if I owned this place.

Local favorite

Tanglewood is my go to course locally. It’s got some distance and a lot of elevation changes. Ball placement is key to good scores. They have put a lot of money improving the course over the past few years and it shows.

Played in a league in 2020. After a couple of hiccups, the staff pulled it together. The course has improved in its maintenance and consistency over the past couple of years. Mostly challenging, but enjoyable to test your game skills. Need some more distance markers. The sprinkler heads need to be addressed to replace missing yardag , a very simple task to measure and mark. Reasonably priced.

Bad Managment

2nd time going to Tanglewood. First time had tee time, they got greedy and booked us on top of an outing. 6.5 hours to play 18 it was a mess. Went today for a 750 am tee time and no one was at the pro shop. Called to see whats up and they didn't even know what was going on. So drove 30 mins with my 8 year to golf on what maybe the last day of the season and was left hanging. Multiple other groups just sitting in the lot. No excuses Tanglewood, you need help!

Enjoyable course

I have played Tanglewood many times over the past 8 years and the course conditions continue to improve year over year. There’s a lot of variation per hole presenting all sorts of challenges and scoring opportunities. Pace of play can be an issue at times on weekends but golf is not a sprint.

Disappointed

Heard great things about this course growing up. Finally got around to playing it. Should have gone years ago instead. Course in rough shape. So too is the clubhouse and grounds.

Ouch!

Good shape for time of year

First time playing and liked the layout of the course. Was very wet but can’t blame on drainage due to amount of recent rain. In great shape for time of year. My pace was great without anyone else on the course but did see some others not happy with pace of play.
