South/West at Tanglewood - The Lion
Rating Snapshot
About
Tanglewood in South Lyon is home to 27 holes of championship golf that are collectively known as "The Lion." The holes are dived into three nines: the North, South, and West; that are played in three different combinations. The golf courses sprawl across a gently rolling landscape, which doesn't offer dramatic elevation changes but it is undulating enough to make finding a flat lie no easy feat. The South/West Course is tight, offering little room for error. There are creeks and ponds that come into play several times throughout and there are also out-of-bounds in play on most of the tee shots. The sixth hole on the West nine is called the "Michigan Hole," since the green is shaped like the lower-peninsula of Michigan, accented by a geographically correct replica of the Mackinac Bridge. The South/West combination is the club's most popular.

There was too much sand on the greens on the North Course, so the ball wouldn't roll.
Cheaters
My round would have been better if my playing partner didn’t cheat and get lucky. Karma is going to come for him.
Perfect day
Five of us played.
3some and a 2some.. Course was fantastic, staff was even better..
And the weather they ordered was perfect
Tanglewood CC
What a pleasant surprise. Beautifully maintained fairways and greens. Fair price for mid week “senior”. Course was fairly short from “silver tees”. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely play here again.
Fun Course
The course is in great shape. The pace of play was slow. We waited on every hole through the first 11 holes. The ranger finally addressed the group that had two holes open in front of them and it helped a lot. Recommend!
Great course
Great course great views great layout great greens. There fast. Good fairways good bunkers. Appropriately priced. Great value $85 for Sunday morning well worth it
I have always enjoyed playing this course in the previous years - all my interactions with we’re hurried - not as personable - good price/challenging course.
Good value for this time of year
Booked for 18 holes with a friend. We played the South/West loop. Completed 18 holes right at 4 hours so we decided to play the last 9 holes, the North. Finished that in 1.5 hours.
Pace of play was great, course conditions were mostly good (greens and fairways) with the exception of the tee boxes. Not terrible. Clear they've seen a lot of play and haven't had the weather to recoup yet.
The staff were all very friendly and engaging. From the golf shop, grill, to starters.
