About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 70
Length 7067 yards
Slope 137
Rating 74.5

Tarandowah Golfers Club has a unique layout that closely resembles traditional Scottish links golf courses. There are undulating greens and sloped fairways that are made up of bentgrass and wispy fescue. Although there are no water hazards, Tarandowah Golfers Club boasts more than 100 deep, sod-faced bunkers that prove to be just as challenging if not more. Strong winds blow through the golf course, a factor that will affect your game if not careful. Tarandowah Golfers Club has several tricky uphill par 4s, but its longest and one of its more challenging holes is the par-5 14th, which stretches to 588 yards.

True links golf 107 bunkers! Deep bunkers..

Wind swept round, glad to play my first and likely last round at Tarandowah as I will be moving back West in the spring. Glad to play here! Worth it..course was lush so played with very little roll on fairways and greens held well. Not as tough as it should be.

Bring plenty of balls

This is a really fun course to play. It's link style with lots of bunkers. (When I was in them it was automatically a double bogey). The rough is thick long grass so goodbye ball (when I was in it it was automatically a double bogey). I usually shoot between 85 and 90 but was happy here to break 100...shot a 97. The fairway and greens where in really good shape. BUT the greens where as hard as cement so nothing stayed on whether it was a pitch or punch. However putting conditions where excellent. I really recommend you play here to experience true links style like the Open.

Visually refreshing

Enjoyed a wonderful day at Tarandowah. Based on the course review i was expecting a grand clubhouse and dramatic entrance. This experience is all about the course. I don't play many link style courses so the design of each hole seemed daunting but turned out to be fair with its landing spots. Loved every hole and played some of the best golf of my life.

Thanks Tarandowah for this gem so close to my home town of London.

a midsummer morning

8:30 am start on a perfect Midsummers morn....had not played the course in 5 years...lovely manicured greens and bunkers and fescue galore.My golf bud had a great game ,ME not so much but the ambiance and the lovely course made me enjoy it in spite of my mediocre performance.

A gem of a course in the middle of nowhere but worth the drive from London,Woodstock et al nearby.

The staff were super friendly and a nice couple of red ale pints and crispy fries ended a perfect morning.

Try the place you will like it no matter your golf handicap.

Hard track

Tough links style course. Great challenge. Greens large and true. Bunkers are difficult. Fairways and t boxes were hard. But that adds to the chslllenge. Balls in fescue slow pace of play. Bring lots of balls. Great value for money.
