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.

5.25 hours to play

Started early then hit a wall waited on every hole for the two groups in front to move on. At one point there was 4 groups waiting on a par 3. No rangers in sight.

Need to get some additional help to keep things moving.

Hard as a rock

With all the rain we have had over the season I could not believe how dried out tee boxes areas around greens were. Forget plastic tees and even breaking wood one trying to get in the ground the whole place was rock hard an worker joining are twosome for his free round was ok but geese man this place ain't the old course Scotland like you talked up like it was. Lol no rush to go back for sure

Green not fast

The ranking of this course with Scoregolf jumped from 59 to 32. I was wondering what have changed to bring this big raise. Actually there is nothing. The club house was the same. the course condition is slightly worse on the day I play: Green was super fast and firm when I played a couple of years ago. That's no longer the case, the green speed is a bit faster than average. The sand in bunkers is abundant, but it's not white, rather dark sand.

Fantastic golf experience

Great value for a great golf course. It was a little windy with sun shining the day we played and the course played exactly what you would expect a links course to play. It was firm and fast (even though it rained the day before) and you played the shot required regardless of how far you were away. Highly recommend playing Tarandowah for a totally different golfing experience in Ontario.

Golf Course is in A+ Condition… but

No amenities at this golf course, golf shop staff is friendly and helpful, on course service is very friendly. Golf course is in great condition, tee decks are 5star.

No longer a hidden gem, Tarandoah needs some/any amenities to make the drive worthwhile.

Excellent links style track

Tarandoah is a challenging well designed, well maintained links course. Located near London in rural farm country. Course is not overly busy. Fescue off the fairways and undulating, quick greens will test most golfers. Great value at $50 cart included.
