About
Ralph Plummer worked with Arnold Palmer on the original Tanglewood design back around 1970, and Ken Dye and Baxter Spann came along for an upgrade in 1988. This challenging golf course overlooking Lake Texoma is difficult because of the water and wind. Be ready when you arrive, because the first two holes can ruin your day. Some say that no. 1 is the hardest on the golf course, playing 414 yards into a dogleg that's protected by a fairway bunker. No. 2 is longer at 444 yards -- you'll need a monster tee shot to set up a reasonable approach into the bunkered green. This hole has a slight dogleg to the left as well. On the back nine at Tanglewood, no. 14 goes 230 yards with water on the right, and no. 18 is a reachable par 5 with water in play on the first two shots.

Great track
Had a great time the pace of play was smooth even the the course was packed. The staff was very friendly and the course has a few risk reward holes. I will be back!
Worth the Money
Course has not fully come in yet so some tight and bare lies. In another 30 days will be much better! The layout is great! Greens were bumpy and slow but should improve with warm weather.
Misleading?
With the title of “Resort” I expected much more. The fairways were underdeveloped and tee’s were simply an extension of such. The bunkers are hard dirt, not really sand. The greens were in good shape and rolled very true, however even after multiple days of rain they couldn’t hold shots, even with a ton of spin. The layout is fantastic, some very tough holes mixed with some birdie opportunities. A lot of undulation which is great. A scenic pleasure to the eye. For a hot deal, still worth it if you live close (I don’t).
Pace a JOKE
Hey this course is in pretty bad shape overall. Greens decent for dormant but more weeds than dormant grass. Finished 5th hole and FIVE GROUPS were waiting to tee off on 6th hole. NOT KIDDING this course is a joke. Don’t waste your money.
Review
The course is really fun to play, and I enjoy it every time. The staff is friendly and helpful. Just sad I didn’t get to play due to the rain. But there is always next time.
Nice, good greens
I love this course but look out for groups of 5, where each player has their own cart. These are the members who live there. They are slow, and generally have some kind of bet going, where they settle in the parking lot after the round. (These dudes are literally putting for $$.) Tu/Th should be avoided because it is Senior MGA/LGA day and they pack about 10 groups into the tee sheet 09:00 - 10:00. You don't want to follow those groups. It is really brutal.
Great course . Great greens. They did let a couple of 5 some,s out and course did slow down abit. Overall a great time.
Greens were in great shape. Price for a round is very reasonable for this course. i will definitely return.
very pleasant round greens are excellent and fairways are lush. some fairways had been over watered. and mud cist a little rollout, but overall had my best round ever today pretty cool playing course with a Eastern wind. kind of unusual in Texas this time of year.
Overall Great Course
I’ve played this course several time! Always fun to play and well taken care of. Pace of play was super slow today though with groups of 6 that didn’t let us play though. We actually ended up skipping ahead to only get caught up behind another group of 6. Not only were they groups of 6 but they took multiple tee shots after failing to hit it further than 20yrds. However, I highly recommend playing this course!
