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.

Links Course

The overall conditions of this course is excellent, the greens were running very fast.

There are at least 100+ bunkers and they come into play on many holes.

Lots of challenges for the experienced golfer to the high handicapper.

Love this course.

Great Spring day for golf

My son and I enjoyed our first round together in 2023. Although it’s only the middle of April the course was in good condition and it was such a beautiful day. It was somewhat windy and did make the course somewhat more difficult.. We walked the course and there was no beverage cart and no place to refill our water bottles so that was a little disappointing. We do plan on going back as we were overall very satisfied.

Great links course not in the UK

This is an excellent version of true links golf with pot bunkers, firm fairways and wispy fescue. The greens putted very well and some local knowledge is needed on some holes to take advantage of them fully. Overall a fun and challenging experience in playing links golf. We played on a day with winds gusting to 45-50 kmh so it really made it feel authentic. Be sure to play tees that lean toward being shorter than your normal course if it is windy. Overall very enjoyable and I am playing again in a week’s time.
