Rating 73.4

Tangle Ridge Golf Club's location near Joe Pool Lake is favorable because of the elevation changes that spice up this well maintained public course. The course offers some outstanding holes, highlighted by impressive bentgrass greens that putt true. In addition to the elevation changes, Jeff Brauer's design features generous fairways lined by thick brush and huge trees. Two holes grab your attention on the front side. The opener goes 469 yards and might be the most difficult on the golf course. While there aren't too many hazards, bunkers protect the fairway and green, and the thick rough lining the fairway makes it a difficult long approach if you miss the smooth stuff off the tee. Tangle Ridge Golf Club's eighth hole is considered the signature: a 575-yarder that rolls downhill off the tee to a creek that cuts the fairway at 300 yards out. The approach on no. 8 must carry the creek to an elevated green protected by two massive mounds.

Fun course but needs help

Course was in good shape other than the greens recently being punched and sanded. Pace was slow, the course needs active marshalls to push the slow players along. I grew a full beard on the back nine waiting on a twosome tin front of me to figure out which end of the club to use to hit the ball...brutal.

Super fun layout

I enjoyed this course. I got a great price due to the greens maintenance. Full of sand but that's ok. Fairways had great quality. Not sure why it's so hard to have a flat tee box. Definitely going back.

Great layout but terrible greens

The layout is awesome. But the greens were like putting on gravel. The pro shop staff wasn’t welcoming, but the rest of the staff was great. Checked the box and finally got to play it, but probably won’t be back

Sadly Unplayable

If you don't care about putting its a great track. Sadly the greens are so infested with POA it is unplayable to keep any kind of score. I love this course and hope they turn it around.

This is a $45 max green fee course until the greens are fixed. Every putt jumps and many stop on slopes they shouldn't.

Greens are unplayable

Simply not in condition to keep a score. Downhill puts would stop on the slope and every put you hit jumps because of the weed growing up through the green. I love this course and have recommended it even shortly after being punched, but the greens are terrible

Rough Greens

The greens are in poor shape, with a lot of bare spots and weeds all throughout. It’s a shame because the rest of the course is in good shape and it’s a fun track!
