West/North at Tanglewood - The Lion
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 great views great layout great greens. There fast. Good fairways good bunkers. Appropriately priced. Great value $85 for Sunday morning well worth it
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.
Easy residential community course
Nice residential community, there are (3) 9-hole courses here, we played north/south, it looks like west was the most unique/challenging.
Not too much challenge, although there were a few fairways that required accuracy off the tee, and some holes that were target practice off the tee (no driver).
Grass on tee boxes badly needed to be mowed. Greens were inconsistent - this was late season and one of the 9-hole courses had greens full of sand, while the other 9-hole course had fast greens. There was still plenty of seed throughout without much dirt/dry spots. Sand was good.
No GPS in carts, no water on course, no coolers in cart. Made the turn at the clubhouse and the bartender had no hot dogs cooking or ready. Cart return was blocked off for a wedding.
It's fine, there's other options in the area that I prefer (10 public courses and 2 country clubs within 15 min), but this would be an OK rotational course.
One of the best course I have played in Detroit Metro, esp for the valuefor
Great course, greats are true and FAST, fun layout, pace was great esp for a holiday weekend, people working here were all very positive, nice. Highly recommended
still a great fun fair course !
