At the par-5 eleventh, the pond that guards the green may not seem all that threatening from this view. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

…But most players will experience a heightened concern for the water hazard as they hit approaches toward the narrow putting surface. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

A huge pond looms large over much of hole fifteen. On the approach lies a landing zone, however, for those who want to run the ball onto the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024
-
A line of reeds suggests the presence of water prior to green seventeen at this beauty of a par-4. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

Here is the pond and the green–a tough target for your approach at Tallwood’s 17th. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

Tallwood’s second hole, a mere 302 yards, plays as a tight and tricky par-4. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023
-
The par-4 fifth hole doglegs right and plays uphill to this enormous green, tilted strongly from back to front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023
-
Bold, long-hitting golfers might want to take a crack at reaching green 11 in two shots. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023

Twelve is a classic, uphill par-4 of 384. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023

A group prepares to tee off at twelve (as seen across green thirteen). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023

Although it can bring misery, the par-4 fifteenth is still fair enough. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023

The third: A classic par-three. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020
-
Four: One of my playing partners approaches the green, where his approach landed tight to the flag. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020
-
The fifth is a beastly but still quite playable four-par, its fairway rising uphill all the way to this large, contoured green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020
-
Seven: The first task is to miss the fairway bunkers; the second to fly the greenside pair. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020

Eight: At this par-4 (index 3), I’ve heard a few expletives muttered—including my own—on many occasions. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020

Great course
Had the best round this year at Tallwood!! The only challenge were the fall leaves on the greens. This is common and the maintenance folks were hard at blowing the leaves around the course.

Excruciatingly Slow Play!
I don’t understand why golfers are not held accountable for their slow play!
Yesterday should have been a 4 hour round. Instead it was 4:40 and we skipped a hole.
Lovely course, great layout, nice people, good food but unregulated slow pace of play takes it all away.

First time playing this course in 5 years. Not a fan of a few of the holes due to quirkiness, however, great shape and pace of play was solid.
