West/North at Tanglewood - The Lion
Rating Snapshot
About
Tanglewood, also known as "The Lion," boasts 27 holes of championship golf, divided into the North, South, and West nines. The holes are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The North/West Course starts with the gentlest nine before moving on to the newest and arguably the most challenging nine. The undulating landscape provides a soft bowl-shape to many of the holes that help to keep errant shots in play by corralling them away from the bordering backyards. Water hazards come into play on seven holes on the West nine and the greens are also guarded heavily by pins. The West's third hole is one of the most memorable holes on the golf course. This tricky par 4 gets progressively more challenging as you move from the wide fairways to the steep and intrusive bunkers that lead to the green.

Great course
Great course, well-maintained. If you can get it for a discounted rate it is well worth it. The only thing I could complain about is that the carts are gas, not electric, and the staff inside the clubhouse was not very attentive.
great all around course at a great value
Nice tree lined fairways on many holes with some houses.
Top public course
I play this course regularly. Top level public cousre. Fair, ok distance, and good combination of shot making vs power. Today the greens were in absolutely pristine condition. Best I've seen from any public course.
The greens were very challenging and the hazards cleverly placed. A bit more focus on making the sand more fluffy in the bunkers would be beneficial.
The staff was friendly, the beverage cart girls were very nice (and cute too), the bartender was enthusiastic and customer oriented. I arrived at the course early. It was much appreciated that the starter matched me with another group so I could tee-off sooner.
Others Day Golf
Was way to cold to play in high 30's /low 40's with sleet towards the end. The course was in great shape though I judge that the rough was deeper than I remembered last time I played Tanglewood.
Its a nice 27 hole layout... very friendly
Played in 4 hours on a Sunday. I played SOUTH and WEST. Well maintained. I like a lot more elevation change in a course though. You can run up most shots and the greens were in good shape. Wouldnt drive from Lansing to South Lyon to play there again, but if I was in the area I would definately be back.
27 beautiful holes that have a northern feel.
Driving range is nice
Putting green is nice
Chipping green is nice
And even a nice practice sand trap!
Once you hit the course you realize you are playing a nice course and you can just sit back and enjoy the round!
Play was quite slow, we waited on almost every hole.
We play ready golf, even though we were a twosome, it shouldn't have been backed up so that we were waiting every hole, sometimes for two groups. There was one group about 4 groups ahead, that was really slowing play down, but we didn't see any rangers out of the course.
Not going to get a much better course for the money
In summary, I REALLY like this course. It can be a bit short from the white tees but it is tight and will make you pay for a bad shot. Course was in great shape and the rough is thick. I'll definitely be back.
greens were just sandblasted otherwise course was in fair condition
Greens were sand blasted I would give it 2 weeks before I would play there again
great course
had great round little cold the day we want out, the par 3's are fun and over water
Nice Course but ran out of carts
The course overbooked tee times and was not able to get out on time due to them not having enough carts.
Very nice parkland course. 3 nines offer lots of variety.
3 challenging nines with lots of doglegs and some water. Very enjoyable round with a 4 hr. pace.
Wonderful track...challenges your thought process with plenty of options for shots
One of the best bargins in Metro Detroit with immaculate greens and a beautiful club house.
Hidden Gem
Course plays fair, but challenging. Well maintained, beautiful.

Wide fairway.
