About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 6913 yards
Slope 136
Rating 72.8

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.

Tanglewood CC

What a pleasant surprise. Beautifully maintained fairways and greens. Fair price for mid week “senior”. Course was fairly short from “silver tees”. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely play here again.

Fun Course

The course is in great shape. The pace of play was slow. We waited on every hole through the first 11 holes. The ranger finally addressed the group that had two holes open in front of them and it helped a lot. Recommend!

I have always enjoyed playing this course in the previous years - all my interactions with we’re hurried - not as personable - good price/challenging course.

Good value for this time of year

Booked for 18 holes with a friend. We played the South/West loop. Completed 18 holes right at 4 hours so we decided to play the last 9 holes, the North. Finished that in 1.5 hours.

Pace of play was great, course conditions were mostly good (greens and fairways) with the exception of the tee boxes. Not terrible. Clear they've seen a lot of play and haven't had the weather to recoup yet.

The staff were all very friendly and engaging. From the golf shop, grill, to starters.
