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.

Course in Great Shape
Played for the first time, the course was in great shape. The pace of play was a little slow, seemed like there was a wait on most holes. Other than that, pretty good experience. The beverage cart girl was very nice and made the rounds several times, which was good.
In good shape, but short and not challenging
Well-maintained, greens a little soft but acceptable, pace of play was great. Course layout/design not very challenging, lot of shorter holes even from the back tees. Greens fees much higher than comparable courses and also higher than better courses in the area. Course seems to get a ton of play despite this, maybe because the three 9's help with pace if play, but much better values to be had locally.
Nice
Very well maintained and had a few challenging holes. Hot deal for $33 felt like a really good price.
Best Course In The Area…to me
This is a challenging, yet fun course to play. The conditions were perfect, the layout was amazing, and even though the course was packed, the pace of play was good. Not that I have played EVERY course in the area, but this one is by far my favorite so far!!!
Nice course
A little slow on the front but pace opened up on the second nine. Plays through a very nice residential area but the houses never really come into play.
Good course, but expected better maintenance
Tee boxes were often the length of the first cut of rough. For playing on a popular day, and with an outing on the course as well, would have expected the tee boxes to be in better shape. Fairways and greens looked great, pace was slow. The twosome in front of us were waiting on the foursome in front of them.
Great tracks
Friendly staff and well manicured fairways and greens. Will be back!!
Course in Great Condition
This is the first time I've played Tanglewood this season and it's in great condition. We played the North/South courses. The greens are fast but fair. The tee boxes, fairway and rough are in great shape. The pace of play was excellent on a Sunday afternoon. As a twosome, we finished 18 holes in 4:20. Highly recommend.
Excellent staff
Cold and rainy day. We were the only ones on the course and the staff stayed open for us and even kept their kitchen open.
