SAD!

I grew up on this course, have played this course for the past 20 years and it is absolute dog balls now. New ownership should be neutered for what they did to one of NE Ohio’s best layouts. They should pay you for playing it. Make Tanglewood Great Again!

New ownership has been in place since the start of the season. In that time, they've rebuilt the 5 worst tee. Same with bunkers that needed work and attention.; They have been rebuilt. Major drainage work was done on Holes 2, 10, 11 & 17. The golf course is making considerably improvement. Kudos o=to ownership on making this investment in the golf course.

Terrible condition. Terrible price

Paid $36 dollars for 9 holes only to be greeted by fairways that were full of craters of dirt. If your ball didn’t hit the rough , it would roll into oblivion on the hard dirt. Greens were in pretty good shape though. Pace of play was terrible as there was groups going back to play more holes in front of us with no enforcement. A really cool layout that has a lot of potential but lacks some care to the course and prices that make sense.

The team there is working and reviving the fairways, a venting process was just completed to to open up the fairways provide more oxygen and encourage the roots to grow deeper. There was quite a drought in the area w/ no measurable rain for 7 weeks, so there is/was some browning. While it doesn't look great to the eye, the good news is drives go farther.

Also...good news the 9-hole rate is normally $30 (Monday - Thursday), and there's plenty of good Senior Rates and Junior Rates, especially for Youth-on-Course Members.

Fairways choppy and lacking grass in many areas. Greens super slow, not rolled or cut for prime playing times. (10:30)

Great place to play

My mom and I were there to play 9 holes. Ease of check in, help getting our cart and respectfulness guided by staff on timing to start. Great experience and the fairway and greens will grow better with this new ownership!

Yes!!!

Had a membership for a couple of years. Course is close by and it was reasonably priced. The past ownership was maddening. Repairs that were so small were never done. Yet they had to repair damage from simple drainage issues, instead of doing the repairs in the first place. Great job by the new owners to deal with these issues. The course is on its way back and I commend the new staff.

Way Better

We hadn't played here in awhile and were surprised with the improvements. Pro Shop & Restaurant was remodeled. The new owners also added a golf fitness room, putting room and 2 TRackMan Sims. It was a busy day, but pace was good, starter and ranger both out there. Ranger was even out fixing ball marks on greens and cleaning up tee boxes. A few fairways were browned out due to the hot weather, but the greens were really good and true. A few new tee boxes were built and that bunker on 17 was redone.

Overall very impressed and job well done! We'll be back...

Not what you’d expect

The fairways were tore up and not well kept although the greens were nice. Piece of play was so slow that after you finished putting you had to wait almost 25 minutes to tee off for the next hole. Ranger does not maintain pace of play and general conditions of the course were very poor. On the bright side, the staff is very friendly, but I would not pay $62 to play here ever again.

Unfortunate events

One of the nicest courses I’ve ever played. Absolutely beautiful course and friendly staff. Unfortunately, during our round we had an intoxicated golfer behind us. We had planned to let him play through (as he was on our behinds) however before we could tell him to play through he began yelling at us from a far. He became confrontational and yelled multiple obscenities at our foursome. We called the club house, but they truthfully didnt do anything about it other than apologize and talk to the guy. Clubhouse attendant stated before they let the guy out he was already “belligerent.” Even after they talked to this golfer, he was still yelling back obscenities to us. Still nothing was done by the clubhouse. Would’ve been classy to offer us something for our experience. Perhaps a partial refund? Future 9 holes? Maybe even a sleeve of balls? Great course, just unfortunate experience. Ruined our round after playing good money for the course

Greens and Leagues: A Mixed Bag

2nd time playing it this year. Getting better each round. One challenge area all round was the greens. Looks like they hadn't been mowed for a day or so so were slower than usual and a bit touchy to get the right speed as you did need to give the ball a solid putt. Also not the course's fault, but what is it about people not fixing their ball marks! Lots of ball marks on the green.

One concern though was an afternoon 9-hole league playing off the back. The starter sent them out as I was making the turn for a 18 hold round. So needless to say, things grounded to a halt on the back 9 with me needing to skip 10 and 11 to get ahead of the league and then come back to 10 and 11 to finish the round. I made the turn in 2 hours so they should've held off the league until I had passed through.

Headed in the right direction

This course has improved so much in the last year. The new owners are investing in it and making it a great place to play. The tee boxes are above average, they are repairing the parts of the course that need it, and they’ve done a great job with the bunkers. The greens get beat up, but nothing worse than any other public course. This will easily be a 5-star play by the end of the year at the pace they are investing. Love it!

Tanglewood Golf Course Review

Great course that has seen some massive upgrades. Love playing here except it has been exceptionally slow this year. Not sure if they changed the time between tee times but my friends and I play at a very regular pace I would say and our rounds have been taking every bit of 4.75 hours to play. I still love the course but don’t love waiting on every hole to hit.
