Use bright golf balls

The course got allot of rain the evening before the fourth of July and they new they were book solid for the holiday. They should have had all hands on deck early in the morning to cut the grass. The course manicure is horrible I lost at least 10 balls and I hit most of my fairways, the only place you could see your ball was on the greens. The greens are small to medium size and putt very well, my advice play with Volvick bright red balls.

Thank you for coming out to Tanglewood on the 4th of July. We are sorry about the course not being manicured up to our usual standards as the wetness prevented us from getting some of our equipment out there. Thank you again for the feedback, and come back anytime on us.

Improving

I was pleasantly surprised by improvements in course conditions. It is a golf course that was built on top of a hill, so uneven lies and some quirkiness is unavoidable, but it was enjoyable. Ray in club house has been there a long time, and is always friendly and helpful. He may be the cours's greatest asset.

Great deal for the price.

Got this tes Time as a hot deal. Payed about $13 a person which for me is a great deal. The course isn’t in the best shape but for that price it is well worth it.

Bang for the buck

Enjoyed the course and staff are possibly the nicest around. However, they charged me a little more then what golf now check out said, but still great place to play for the money

Good layout, busy day

Not a bad layout for the short yardage on the scorecard. Challenging greens and challenging tee shots. Lots of blind shots over hills to fairways or greens. May want to look at the hole maps. I thought the price was fair for a weekend round.

Fun Course

We play Tanglewood several times a year and it never gets old. The greens are generally excellent. The fairways are very playable. The pro shop has the kindest and most helpful people you will find in any golf pro shop. It is SOOOO worth the money.

Blind leading the blind

Fun course. Lots of blind shots with fairways sloping right or left. Fairway conditions were so so but greens were great. Not for beginners or high handicappers.

Tanglewood

A friend and I played 27 here on a playable Kentucky day. We scrambled and the tees were up and we had a lot of fun. Had to discuss where to hit pretty frequently but this course has character. Not for the beginner. The kind of course that is a lot of fun if you can keep up with your ball. Lots of infinity edge green views and trouble right.

Worth the drive

Tanglewood is always fun to go play. Plus it is always nice to play a round of golf in under 3 1/2 hours.
