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.

Good value

Layout quite challenging on the South course. Green is kind of slow.

Good course

First, you should allow a sliding scale rather than middle or one extreme or the other...having said that, I used GolfNow.com and got a great rate on greens fees at the last minute which was a great value. I played on a week day, by myself in October so pace of play for me was excellent. I did play through a number of foursomes who all seemed to be very slow. Course was in very good condition for this late in the season. I have played this course many times and always find the staff a bit stand-off-ish.

GREAT CLUB HOUSE, GREAT MENU, AND WELL MAINTAINED COURSE

My wife and i play this course a lot. It's a great course and the price I pay for 18 holes thru Golfnow.com was very pleasing.

The course offers different scenery, distinguishing the three 9 holes from one another

The staff is great, from those in the pro shop to the cart girls. The grounds are always kept in a pristine state. There are challenging holes, but not too challenging so that customers are driven away from the course.
