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.

fun links course

like a links course should be if you can't be seaside - firm fairways , fescue grasses instead of rough , plenty of deep bunkers, and lots of curves on the greens .

Challenging and frustrating

The good:

The course was beautiful and the weather was nice! The staff were friendly and helpful and the driving range was nice and close to the starting point.

The bad:

The bunkers sand was about as hard as cement, the tee blocks broke 3 tees just trying to put them in, one of the holes is almost on the end of the driving range, our cart was hit with 2 balls from the range while driving on the fairway.

The understandable:

The greens, I understand the course is meant to be difficult but I found the greens were incredibly hard to judge and there is no consistency across the course on this.

Overall:

I enjoyed the views and spending time with friends. There were just too many factors that were outside my control that made the game difficult.

Links style with a challenge

Hidden gem of a course. Great staff and friendly. Worth every penny. Course was in amazing condition, greens were rolling fast. Course will challenge you make good shot decision's and shot placement . Fairway is always your friend but here it really really is. The fescue will punish you or eat your ball. Can’t wait to come back and play it again. The sausages/hotdogs at the halfway hut were freshly cooked on the BBQ!!

A True Challenge - Great Course

This course will make you love or hate golf. The course is awesome, country club fast greens, 400+yrd par 4’s, 550+ yrd par 5’s and plenty of obstacles. Every shot is a new and unique challenge given the large amount of undulations on the fairways, rough and even the greens. The bunkers are all pot bunkers and sit perfectly in your line. The design of the course makes every shot seem far or close so definitely bring a range finder - you’ll be surprised with how wrong your yardage guess was lol. Would come back here 10/10 amazing course. Shocked that it isn't private.
