Tangle Ridge Golf Club
About
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.

Great course
Course was great for the cost. Carts were kind of annoying when you were looking for your ball. Overall great course!

Minor Fixes
The greens were patchy in a couple areas, but for the most part they were good. Bunkers in solid condition. Fairways in good condition. Tee boxes were a bit shaggy, need to be trimmed more often. The rough wasn’t really rough, many people might like that but personally I think if you aren’t hitting the fairway you need to at least pay a small price hitting it in the rough. No complaints on the course. Got a good deal and a discount from a promo code so it was worth the money, but I wouldn’t pay full price they ask. Can find other courses in the area for cheaper and better conditions
Reliable and fun
I’ve played Tangle Ridge for years. Although the greens are not as pristine as they have been in recent years, this is still one of the best all around courses in the area.
Pace of play is decent and holes are challenging yet accessible. Looking forward to play many more rounds here. Definitely worth the money... and the greens should be even better in a few weeks. The only downside is the bunkers. They are being worked on but the majority are unplayable at the moment.
Great greens
My annual “looking for good greens” sojourn was rewarded at Tangleridge. The greens were quick and consistent throughout the course. Will be back
Good Golf Course
I have played Tangle Ridge many times. I like the layout and believe it’s a very fair test for players of all levels. The course is in very good condition. The greens were punched awhile a go and are almost back fully. Very playable though. I will give a high five to the gentleman in the Pro Shop. They were having an issue with the machine dispensing range balls. Instead of just blaming the problem on an uncontrollable circumstance he rode down and manually pulled balls for me. I really appreciated the great customer service and going the extra mile. We will definitely be back!

Probably the most course for the money.
It's in great shape. The carts GPS is turned off and the course itself is poorly marked, so bring your own yardage device.

Great TX Course
I've played this course several times. Native Dallasite. Always in pristine condition for a public course. A best bang for your buck green fee and experience. I really like the layout - creative with plenty of risk-reward opportunities. It would be the perfect "home course" if I lived in the area. The staff are always top notch and in a friendly, playful mood.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, dallastexan73! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Nice Day Out
I've been out here a few times and really like this course. There are a number of unique and beautiful holes. I also really like being able to hit all par 5's in two from the tips. Greens are normally very nice. Wind can be a bit of a factor, but that's expected. The views of the houses on the steep hills almost looks like California. Complaints, none really on the course. Think the snack bar should price shop other courses for beer selection and pricing. Think they would sell more bevs if their prices were more in line with others. Overall, I like this course and it is in my mix of courses to rotate through

A Wonderful March Day
March's weather can be very challenging in Texas, It can be extremely windy, cold and wet. On the day that my companions and I played Tangle Ridge, it was a beautiful, warm and sunny day. Nearly all of the grass on the fairways were still dormant but the trees had started blooming. It was a Friday afternoon and the pace of play was smooth and steady. For the most part, with the wide fairways, we easily found our balls and went on to our next shots. The challenge the course provided was the layout design for each hole, doglegs, severe doglegs and water hazards..Nothing too hard that we couldn't overcome. There were also some easier holes where all you had to do was to hit the ball straight. All in all, it was a most enjoyable day.
Thank you for your review, svenorby1. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Tangle Ridge Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Beautiful course and layout.
Haven’t played here in over a decade, which is my loss. Challenging course. Played with regulars which really helped on the strategy and saved me some strokes.. Course is in great shape and nice to play a course that has elevation changes . Bunkers are well maintained and creative in the way they have walled them with turf layers on the high sides. Only negative was the recent punching of the greens. But very much looking forward to playing It again after the greens have healed up a bit.
Hi u000008223788. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. The greens should be healed soon for even better conditions. We look forward to having you back at Tangle Ridge Golf Club!
Would have given a 5 on course condition but greens had recently been aerated. Great layout
Hi u000007090695. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. The greens should be great once they heal! We look forward to having you back at Tangle Ridge Golf Club!
Tangle Ridge - still a great course
Greens were aerated but their website warned us and it is that time of year, they have made some bunker modifications that look more challenging, didn’t get to try those out. Driving range closed due to Covid, but that too is the norm right now. One of my favorite area courses!
