In the team picture for best 9 hole courses in area!!!

I had never played Tam. I had heard that it is a great course. It did not disappoint. Lush fairways, greens, tees and bunkers. Very impressed. Greens were quick but extremely receptive and rolled true. Not a long course, but awesome if you want to work on hitting a hybrid / 5 wood or iron from the tees.

Staff was courteous, professional and warming. I didn't stop in for a sandwich or libation, but the bar looked fantastic.

Great short course

Tee boxes were in great shape and the greens were well-maintained. It got busy/slower early with league play, but a great value for the experience. Solid place to go low.
