Length 6835 yards
Slope 133
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.

The greens are very bad!

I believe they've lost their greens. A real shame because this is a beautiful course and the greens used to be the best part when they were bentgrass---

Greens

Layout is fun, a lot of unique holes. Greens are in pretty rough shape, not super fun to putt on.

Greens in bad shape

Many greens are full of weed and rolling very inconsistent. Rest of the course was ok.

Sad state of course

Played TR many times and it’s normally a good value but the course was in sad shape. Weeds are every where and the greens just pitiful. To ask $80 for the condition is enough to keep me away for a while.

Awesome course. Dragging pace

The course was so backed up I could have grabbed food and still been back to waiting for the hole to clear. The course itself is really nice. Very well maintained. But hardly enjoyable when your playing 1 hole every 40 minutes

Great Layout

Really well set up. Challenging with a lot of hazards and lots of elevation changes. The greens were in rough shape but that's the only issue we had.

First Time Playing

Rough shape, lots of poa

First time playing here. I’ve heard lots of good things about it. My neighbor warned me about the poa all over the greens, but I didn’t think it was that bad. I was wrong. Front nine all the greens are in pretty rough shape tons of poa. It’s like trying to put on a Plinko game…ball just darts left and right. On the back on the greens were much better, but there were still a few greens that were infested by poa.

Most of the fairway was pretty decent however, there were a few holes where it looked like a pasture, lots of weeds.

The course layout is really cool and I enjoyed several of the holes.

Most of the bunkers were either completely filled with water or extremely wet.

This course must be better during the summer but right now I cannot recommend playing it.
