Length 6510 yards

Rating 72.0

Tanna Farms Golf Club in Geneva offers some of the best golf that the Fox Valley has to offer. The layout meanders across prairies covered with wildflowers and weaves through lush wetlands. The course begins with the stunning signature hole. The par-3 opener has an island green that sets the scene for this thrilling and memorable round. Although it's a seemingly short course at 6,510 yards from the back tees, what it lacks in length it makes up for with plenty of other challenges. Besides the first hole, there are a few other tough par 3s, including one with a postage-stamp sized green. There are some daunting par 5s as well. Tanna Farms Golf Club is not a lengthy course but the layout is generously spaced to offer breathing room between the holes and the undulating slopes and subtle elevation changes make it pay much longer.

Great course

Great course for the money its probably so cheap because its in the middle of nowhere but it was still very good. course conditions were pretty good and the layout is fairly easy if you are an accurate hitter.

A nice surprise

I'd heard of this course but never found a reason to play it, until I found the GolfNow deal. While the course requires quite a bit of shot management, it's quite fair. A couple of locals with whom we were paired provides some helpful hints. I really enjoyed playing it and will definitely return.

confusing

The course is very spread out with hardly any signs letting you know where you are going. The fairways are very tight and every hope seems to be a part 5 or a par 3. Course was in great condition but just not my type of course.

poor course management

Had the misfortune to play Tanna Farms, the course was in good condition, the weather was great. If you like to play 5 1/2 hour rounds , this is the course for you.
When I asked the beverage cart attendant if there were rangers available to speed up play, she asked what a ranger was? and suggested I call the clubhouse, which I did. they sent out some 16 year old kid who did nothing. So we quit after 9 holes, and when we asked the person in the pro shop for consideration because of the pace, they said it was just slow today and offered no assistance

RUDE

You are met at the front desk by a rude employee that rips the money from your hands then states your deal on GOLFNOW wasn't that good and just go on their websight!
Pace of play was very poor with NO RANGERS to move things along so you are literally stuck...
UGH.... NOT FUN

the layout of the course was challenging and punished you if you didn't stay within the fairway or at least within 10 yards of the fairway

the course was in great condition we played from the tips to make the course challenging the weather was great it was 60 degrees and sunny afterwards we went into the restaurant had lunch and drink reasonable prices great day golf

Very fun change from normal

Course is in good shape. Always seems to be wet. Balls stick and do not roll. Greens are fair and consistent. Would like to see water stations and maybe a beverage snack cart at the tenth tee at least.

Very challenging and well maintained.

This course is long and very challenging for an intermediate player. Greens and fairways are great. The staff was very cordial.
The drive between certain holes really gives you time to think about strategy for the next hole. The first hole really sets you up for what it coming.....

A unique course, shorter but challenging.

Course different than expected, enjoyed playing but if you are looking for a long, open course, this one challenges your short game.
Uniquely positioned within a community, nice to drive around the holes and enjoy the view. Many Par 3's, but also more Par 5's, which balance out the rating, interesting.

Great value & very friendly staff...

My only complaint would be that the course yardages are very poorly marked. If you don't have a GPS a yardage book is a must.

Challenging!

Bunkers throughout fairways and along green make you think about club selection and placement.

The sandtraps were like hitting out of concrete. They were not dragged or turned over. A few of the traps had large puddles of water and it has not rained in days.

Nice layout, but tough.

Course included some really nice views and several interesting holes. Not easy though. Fairways are tight, trouble is everywhere, and mistakes will really cost you. Nice challenge though. I'll play again.

How far do I have left?

It wasn't the standing water on some holes, or the sloppy fairways (it hasn't rained in the last couple weeks), or the fact that I only saw the beverage cart "girl" twice on a late morning/early afternoon Sunday round (that took about 5 hours), and it wasn't the fact that there is no turn (which might have helped remedy the lack of the beverage cart). I can live with all these things.

What I can't live with on a golf course is a lack of proper yardage markers. I am not exaggerating when I say that I probably saw only 6 yardage markers the entire day. I walked up and down and across fairways from my ball looking for markers everywhere, and there were virtually none to be found. There are NO customary markers for the 100 - 150 - 200 yardages (I did see two big red 100 yard markers), which would have at least given a reference point for approach shots.

I am not quite sure how a course could be so poorly marked for yardage, but Tanna Farms has managed to do so.

I hope this helps some unsuspecting golfer who is thinking about playing here. Due to all of these things, and including the terrible layout of the course, I will personally try to avoid playing here at all costs.
