Excellent conditions, pace depends on timing

Played 9 holes back to back. First 9 was extremely slow, lot of older players with packed tee times. Second 9, played faster but probably due to rain coming in. Short course with 3-4 driveable par 4s. Excellent conditions of bunkers and green.

Highly recommended!

What a beautiful fall day for a round of golf at Tam Golf Course! The weather was absolutely perfect, making for a truly enjoyable day on the links.

The course was in excellent condition, beautifully maintained, and a pleasure to play. The fairways and greens were in great shape, reflecting the care and attention that goes into maintaining the course.

What made the experience even better was the outstanding staff. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, courteous, and professional. Their hospitality and attention to detail made the entire experience exceptional.

Tam Golf Course is a wonderful place to enjoy a round of golf, especially on a gorgeous autumn day. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning soon.
