Family Day

Love this course, play it all the time. I was placed with a family , very sweet. It’s a bummer when you play with people who have never played before. I made the best of it but that’s not cool.

Best around

Just great shape for the amount of play it gets. Always busy but moves ok...Lots of beginners so watch out for balls flying around, but fairways and greens are immaculate. Great spot for a quick 9 and short game practice.

Course

This course was in the best condition of any I have played including in Oregon, Montana, Washington, New Mexico, California, Pennsylvania. Most especially the fairway s were better than what I have experienced on County Clubs

Open fairways. Challenging greens.

Always a good round at Tam. Open tight fairways up and back. Be prepared for others golfers to be playing their second shots from your fairway, seems to always happen. Green can be challenging with some tough pin placements.

Conditions better than ever...greens rolling great. Were always very soft and slow but they seem better maintained this season. Can never go wrong here to get some work in on the short game. Best 9 hole option around.

Highly Enjoyable Executive

I’ve played at Tam O’Shanter multiple times for the last few years as a very beginner and it’s been fantastic. The course has been perfect in length and difficulty for me. The lines of sight from the tee to the flag are clear, the distances achievable and the hazards at the right level of difficulty for me as I learned and got better. Play is swift, but I’m not running into anyone nor feeling rushed. So far everyone that we’ve played with has been fine with me as a beginner so I don’t feel bad being nowhere near par. Avis the board the staff has been friendly and helpful. Fun course!
