Tarandowah Golfers Club

This is a nice links style course with fescue, deep bunkers, roiling greens and it’s open with no real trees n play so when the wind pics up, it makes it challenging

Only problem my group had was when they went to check in, the gentleman behind the counter was not very friendly at all. We did not greet us when we went inside and was not friendly to me at all when I went to get something to eat before the round

What a nice change of pace here from the norm. I played well so this might affect this review but I felt like if I wasn't driving the ball well it could be a tough day out here. not a very long course so you could try to knock it around with a long iron or hybrid if those work for you too.

Potato chip like greens and fairways and approach areas made for a very tough 100 yards and in type course. I didn't feel like it was too much or blind as most tee boxes or fairways were elevated so you can see what to do. Some questionable signage on the course but I made my way thru the place and the walk wasn't bad. Not too many hills or long walks between holes.

Condition was good, they didn't have a 9 hole rate different than 18 hole rate but whatever still was able to get in 9 for $20ish so it was priced accurately for time of day.

I'd come back here for sure for a change of pace of what I normally see in Canada, very tall fescue and hilly almost links style set up.

Behind 8 tee box there was adog barking constantly who I heard from 7th tee all the way to 9 fairway. I couldn't see him but bring treats for that thing to keep it quiet if that kind of stuff bothers you.

Heard alot of good things about the course so I gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised , well worth the 1 1/2 hour drive !

This course is always in good shape. Must play links course if your around London Ontario

The pace of play was not impressive at all. 4 of us were paired together the other 2 had to leave the course on the 15th hole. The 2 players in our front despite the fact that they were walking refused us to play through we were riding the cart. Holes 17 and 18 were in very bad shapes.

I will play the course again if the condition improves. It is a tough and challenging course.

I love the course. So well designed. One negative unfortunately. If a person needs to take a cart it is a very rough ride. Please get the cart paths somewhere close to smooth. Currently it is by far the most negative part of the experience

Greens need work. Lots of blind shots so a yardage book would be a great option at this course. For the price an excellent deal

Great links course...designed by the guy that has redone a lot of the courses for the British Open. Challenging without being frustrating. Everything was in great shape. If it was closer to Toronto it would be 3x the price

One of my favourite courses in Southwestern Ontario. Bring your A game. You need to think your way around this track. 16, 17 & 18 can make a great round ordinary.

I have only played courses in Scotland once but this reminds me of them! A great

Course! I will be back.

Always challenging and in good shape. Greens could be better but still good. Only thing is with 9/10 turn you don't go by the clubhouse and the halfway hut wasn't open . Long , and thirsty day to say the least. Then after , more than half the menu was unavailable. No deep fryer, no pizza, no nachos. Beer was cold but pricey.

Weather was perfect, course conditions were perfect. Hands down the best public play golf course in SW Ontario.

I usually venture out to Tarandowah around the time the Open Championship is being played. I've played in Scotland and it's the closest thing I've played to true links golf at home. Before I get into what was wrong I need to say that the fairways, tees and greens were in great shape. No issue there. I always enjoy playing here but last Sunday I really noticed some things that need work.

First, the bunkers need some attention. The grass that grows along the top edge has been left unattended and needs to be trimmed back. It's now growing down into the sand itself and that's not the way it was intended.

Second, At the base of most of the bunkers the landscaping fabric used to cover the ground before the sand is added is visible in a lot of places and affects your shot. Also, I'm not sure who's idea it was to put tubes in the ground at each bunker so that the handle of the rake can be placed inside to stand on its end. This looks absolutely terrible and is not in keeping with the intended links experience.

Finally, why are there no ball washers on the course. No excuse for this. The folks that run this course need to step up their game a bit given what they charge at full rate.

Best links course in and around London Ontario Canada.

Authentic Scottish links feel and layout in rural Ontario farmland. For the most part this is a great track. Bunkers are British style and fescue and high winds make it an authentic feel. Hard ground makes the bump and run very doable on many holes and the 150 black and white striped poles add to the experience. Tees could use aeration and cart paths can be dusty, electric carts would be nice but all in all great value.

If you're looking to challenge yourself with a great course this is a great option. You won't find a beautiful clubhouse or paved cartpaths but if your priority is golf this is a great option for a great price. Bring your A game, if it's windy bring your A ++ game.
