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.

Great links track. Just missing the seaside.

GPS is very helpful as it is sometimes difficult to know where you are aiming your tee shot. Just like in Scotland or Ireland. No gorse grass but the fescue is very easy to loose a ball in. Greens are smooth and fast. Clubhouse is small but functional. Staff was cordial.Would play this course again and again.

Great value for a world class course!

If you want to play "links", this is the one course you should play. Not easy, approx. 100 deep bunkers, but beautiful greens set-up for chip and run.

This course is very challenging

I really enjoy playing this course when I get the deals from GolfNow. The course is pricy but GolfNow makes it quite affordable.
Thanks, GolfNow

not what i expected

Read a lot of reviews online regarding this course being ranked one of the top couses when it opened. So made the 45 mins drive to play and was greated by a barn in a field as the pro shop. Totally was misinformed and would not drive that far to play again, better courses closer, cheaper and in better condition.

I appreciate the fact your a Burlington reviewer. I would have to drive equally far to play this course. However, you did not mention if you enjoyed the layout of the course? That is what I was looking for in the review of a course such as this. Many a course has claimed to be a "links" type and was not. Is this ?
