Course is in Disrepair

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.

Eh.

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

Very Rough for a Country Club Type Course

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!

Underwhelming

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.

Great course!

We teed off at 11:55 and finished at 3. It was in great shape and it was great to see the maintenance crew out there repairing some of the washed out areas. The greens were smooth and quick and the rest of the course was very nice as well. Can't thank the staff out there enough for the hospitality and all of their hard work!

Average track

I've heard so much hype about this course so I had to play it. Overall it was just average. I played from tips so the tee boxes were nice. A few of them were uneven and was having work done to them but overall nice tee boxes. They suffered some damage on a few fairways and I even lost a ball on 10 that I hit in the middle of the fairway. The bunkers were in terrible shape. They had large rocks mixed in the sand and one green side bunker was all rock. The greens rolled nice. They were quick and cut short.

Overall I recommend this course but it won't be one of my go-to tracks. I will play it again if given the opportunity.

Not what it used to be. Very evident that they are not putting any money into course. Traps un-raked, water and grass clippings in fairways. Bridge out for what looks to have been all season. Nice track, bad up keep.

Beautiful Course but a bit confusing

Tanglewood is an extremely beautiful course right off a lake that plays into effect on some holes. Fun to play as well. The only issue was the cart paths and tees. The cart paths all connect at many different spots and there are no signs on the tee box's for which hole you are on so at sometimes it's confusing if you are even teeing off on the right hole. Other than that confusion it was a great time and I will most likely play there again.

First time playing

Came in on a Wednesday mid-day. Nice course and well maintained generally. Lots of rain recently so there was some pretty substantial flooding in places. Overall, nice course with some challenges here and there. The front desk guy could've been a little more friendly, but other than him it was a good experience.

Par 3 dilemma

Par 3's on front are difficult and seem to be the primary reason for backup. 5 groups deep on #7 when we played. Long delays ruin your tempo and make your round less enjoyable.

Way Overrated

1. Holes aren't marked the plates in the ground are cover up with grass cannot see them.
2. Sand traps with no sand rocks the size of buckets in traps
3. No drinking water,
4. no water in the ball washers.
5. This course seen better days it is obvious the money they are making is not goining back in the course and the owners just don't care, it is a shame was a great course at one time. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

Great course. Friendly staff

What an awesome layout. We were pleasantly surprised at what a gem this course is. Fantastic rolling elevation changes and great greens. The traps were a little rocky but everything else was great. My only negative comment would be that there is no layout map on the card and no signs on the teeboxes. Tough for a first time player. A simple map with the scorecard would be a big help. I highly recommend this course and plan to play here again very soon.

Tanglewood

The course was absolutely fantastic. The was some construction off the tee at the 1st but shouldn't be in play (as long as you dont have a major hook). The weather was terrible the day we went (on and off rain all day) but the course (especially the greens) stayed in surprisingly good shape. We played here on a hot deal and would gladly pay again at regular rates A+ for the staff, facilities, and course

good value

Tanglewood has come a long way from just a few years ago. The greens are very true and often fast. Overall conditions have improved: nice fairways throughout, very little remaining ground under repair and now there is sand in the bunkers !
If you have not played this in the past 3 - 5 years, you should notice a major improvement in quality.

Getting there...

If you've been a witness to the ownership changes over the last several years, you're well aware that this place has had some rough seasons in terms of condition and playability. This year, however, the course was in much better condition and seemed to get better throughout the year. The new owners are really putting an effort in to bringing this place back, and I'm happy to see it finally happening.

Some things that may remind you that a recovery is still underway: poor sand trap quality, un-even tee boxes, random drainage issues (MUCH better than last year), hit-or-miss cart quality, and no ranger to speed up slow groups.

I think 2014 will be a new era for this course.

The tee boxes were a little bit beat up but not too badly. I would play this course again.

Fun Course

Make sure to get out and check out Tanglewood. This is a fun, well maintained course. Some areas were being repaired while I played, but nothing that would hinder your enjoyment. Nothing gimmicky here, just a straight forward test. A couple holes will take the driver out of your hands, but a good approach will make scoring possible on these holes. A good value for the price, and a nice track.
