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.

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.

One of the best values in Geauga County.

Layout is outstanding, conditions for the most part are excellent, a few holes had some rough spots. Management needs to maintain pace of play. Overall a real winner.

Great deal for 18

Course used to be private, still has the country club feel in some ways. The club house is dilapidated at best. The course had some wet areas in rough and fairways, but it's fall. The greens were amazing. BIG, FAST, lot of break. Great elevation changes. First time playing there, no markings on course, get a yardage book if they have one for blind shots. Most of the other players seemed like the "country club" type (both good and bad). Some holes have spectacular views and were a lot of fun to play. Great deal on GolfNow.com, if I can find it again I would definitely play again.

A challenging but fair course in pristine condition. A "Must Play" course.

You won't find better conditions on a public course. The layout is challenging but fair and the scenery is spectacular.

This course is somewhat challenging

I took a friend who shoots high 70's to low 80's and he loved it...wants to play there again. Greens were in great shape...It's not a driver, pitching wedge course..loved using almost all my clubs in the bag....Great for the price.

Greens were great.

Some of the best green conditions I've experienced all year. Course has some rough spots, but overall was pretty good. With a lot of o/b it's challenging if you're not accurate off of the tee. Overall I will go back.
