Tanglewood Club

This course has had its share of troubles, but there is signs of work being done and improvement all over the course. However at $55 for 18+ cart in late September one would not expect to find cracked fairways, clover-filled rough, and 90% of bunkers with big stones that are under construction. They do mention the bunker restoration on the website, but they should be marked GUR and are not. This is an amazing layout and great tough course, but the conditions and price don't line up. Also, the greens keeper needs to find some easier pins. A lot of the time if you missed a 20 footer you'd have a 6 footer coming back the other way. This course is tough enough without three-putting all day because every pin is on a knob.

Great staff once a great course on its way back

The overall conditions of the course were ok. Some of the tee boxes were in bad shape as were some spots not far off the fairways.

I hadn't played Tanglewood since its days as a private course ... some 20+ years. The layout was wonderful (still). The scenic views were even better. However, the course used to be the best manicured course in NE Ohio and that is no longer the case. For the money, it was great and I will return again. But the greens were slow and uneven - and a little beat up, many of the tee boxes were bare dirt and there were some areas that really show the signs of financial neglect. They replaced about half of the traps with new sand, the other half are like concrete. Now, that's all the negatives. The positives are that it was a beautiful day, the course was fun to play, and I will absolutely go back again. For the $$$, it's hard to beat. The senior tee boxes give you the ability to be competitive in terms of distance and we enjoyed that. Plus, the 'pace of play' was good. We weren't rushed but neither were we delayed.

I've played this course a few times now after joining a men's golf league. The vast majority of bunkers are hard and extremely rocky. It's a death sentence to find your ball in one of those puppies. Greens are a bit slow for my liking, fairways are a bit long, rough is not mown evenly. Details. So the course is in rough shape, but it's on the upswing. Bunkers are in the process of being replaced which is a much needed change. Not sure what else is in store for the course. So the course has issues, but they aren't deal breakers for me. I love the sport and I'll play anywhere. The only problem is the price. It's too expensive. I'm an avid golfer and have no problem paying similar prices for much nicer courses. But I can't justify paying $54 to play 18 holes here. I'd gladly pay the $8 more to go play Fowler's Mill. The course is relatively easy, so it's a good track for newer players. Newer players don't want to spend that kind of money.

Greens were in excellent condition. The fairways were in very good condition. Tee boxes were average but will improve with some rain. The staff was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend this course!

The course has had its ups and downs over the last few years. It is on the upswing it seems but for the price ($55.00) it just doesn't seem worth it right now. First, most of the bunkers on the course are GUR or should be. Second, the greens were incredibly slow. Third, the pace of play was almost 4.5 hours and I never saw a ranger. I love golf and love to see courses thrive but I have to be honest that this is a stay away for the price and what you get right now. Hopefully, this will change in the future.

The course condition is "rough" to say the least:

1. The rough is way up and the clover is in full bloom.

2. Fairways are ok, cut be cut tighter and bare spots from drainage issues abound.

3. The bunkers are beyond hazards, they are mostly bare and really unplayable.

4. Greens were slow and bumpy.

Bottom line, this course needs some serious money put into the maintinence.

Not even remotely worth paying $53, more like a $25 fee would be appropriate.

Play this course a couple of times a year. When we played this time the course was wet due to all of the rain we've had today and all week. Greens were aerated and the traps were just starting to get new sand. The course was still playable and will be in great condition in the near future. The staff here is very nice and enjoy talking to them. The clubhouse is starting to look nice again and had I think four televisions with different programs on them. Love playing here and will be back again a couple more times this year.

After a previous poor review of Tanglewood. It seems new management has come in and sand has been put back in the bunkers and a new set of cups and flags have been bought. Simple things that really clean up a course. And the overall condition of the course has greatly improved.

Fairways were below average and traps were awful . Greens were in pretty good shape. Early in the year needs a lot of work. Like the layout if they if they get some maintenance done when the weather breaks I would go back and play this course

This is a fun and challenging course. Been a couple years, I forgot how good a layout this is. Every hole is engaging and for the most part, challenging. Not overly difficult or easy. This course can play 7200 from the tips if you're a good player. Early spring greens were slow but true, showing potential for a lot more speed once cut. Great reasonable go-to course.

This is a really nice course. Very clean, considering there are trees everywhere. This course offers a little of everything: sand, water, undulation, forced carries, elevated tees/greens. Definitely worth it.

course in very good shape - no plans to aerate greens- great deals available

Front 9 of course was in great shape overall but standing water on greens after 3 weeks of dry heat and one nights moderate rain at best. Back 9 was so unplayable that scores were impossible to keep low. As a sub 10 handicap going out the back 9 at 48 with great shots is ridiculous. Front 9 was much better for the most part except for a few wet spots like #2 and #9 greens. Bunkers on the whole course were washed out and hard as a rock because it was full of rocks and gravel. Overall not happy with Tanglewood at the moment

It is sad to see how this once beautiful course has deteriorated. There are rocks and ruts in the sand traps, and where there aren't rocks the sand is almost as hard as a rock. The fairways have significant areas where the ground should be marked under repair. Some areas dry as a bone, other areas wet enough that ball plugged, after a very dry week. We drove into an area where there are trees (not dense) to look for a ball, and it was so rutty we had to back out. The greens are generally OK, but on one green there was a foot in diameter hole. Take your cart over bridges crossing ravines at risk. So sad.

Tanglewood has great potential. But it just doesn't live up to it. The clubhouse proshop needs a little repair and to stop flooding. Along with the course itself. One thing I noticed was that everyone who works at Tanglewood seems to always be in a bad mood. Everyone. The cart boys to the head of pro shop to the ground crew. It's just not that friendly. Some of the staff are just plain rude by cutting you off mid sentence

Beautiful scenic course which was well maintained. Wide range of challenging holes.

Fairways looked beat, greens OK but not as smooth as they should be. Tee boxes were cement. For the price you pay, it should be in much better shape!

The facilities and surroundings are great and extremely well kept. Unfortunately the course is not in the condition it was a few years ago. 75% of the fairways either had mud pits or craters in the middle of them, and the cart paths were filled with potholes and huge puddles. Unfortunately a course that was great in the past, is not a place you want to play anymore. 2 stars at best.
