South/West at Tanglewood - The Lion

Played here several times, but pace was very slow for a Tuesday afternoon. Greens also were not perfect on each due to bad seeding on some. Had I payed full price I would be more annoyed. I will continue to play as it is one of the better courses in Novi and Oakland County.

Course had. Too many damaged greens and too much construction around the course.

Putting greens need work. Lot of heavy construction around the course. Very distracting.

Enjoyed my round at Tangelwood as it moved very fast - very few golfers on the course. Overall I would rate it as a fair course from a chanllenge perspective. Several greens were in rough shape from the difficult winter, but did not affect the putting as much as I thought it would.

For the money this course is a must, most greens are in great shape and pace of play is amazing

Preface all of this by saying this is one of my favorite courses in the area and I'll be back many times this and every year. But, on this particular occasion:

The winter caused problems with a lot of course's greens, so we expected the issues in April. We didn't think they'd still be there in June. They were.

They have a rating for staff friendliness and everyone was very friendly. But they were slow. From the cashier ringing us up to the starter to the folks at the bar, everyone was slow.

I rarely comment on the food and beverage quality but they renovated the clubhouse in the spring. First time I've been there since. Replaced the cooler with bottles of whatever drink you were looking for with self-serve fountain drinks and self-serve hot dogs. Bad idea. Takes forever, the bar staff doesn't pay attention to the self-serve customers so it takes a long time to pay, and the idea that the guy who self served his hot dog before me may or may not have washed up before handling the bag of buns or the tongs ... eww. Won't be stopping in for a dog at the turn anymore with current system.

Round was overall good. Few of the greens got beat up from harsh winter as most courses have. Only gripe was there was fivesome in front of us which made it for long day.

Enjoyed playing the West course and in good shape. The South course greens are not in the best shape.

Course was a little wet , but overall a lot of nice features. Great pace of play. Course will be great once it dries up!!

Course needs a great deal of maintenance from tee to green. Grass cut for USOpen height and rairways and greens too high for ball spinning. Greens not ready for play. Lots of win tree er kill and v err ry slowan dc bumpy not rolled properly. This course plays mre like a$20 muni.than a $50 semi private. Owner needs to focus mor err on course upkeep for players.

The greens are not perfect yet . The north course is still working or remodeling. I'm look forward to being set up completely . I liked these courses so far .

Quite a few of their greens had a lot of dead spots. They are renovating the club house so it is completely closed.

Scheduled a later tee time on a Sunday thinking the pace would be alright for a single. Not even close. Took at least 5 hrs even though they had 27 holes. However it was my first time here and I really liked the course. So I would go back.

Tanglewood is a 3 9 - hole course set up. Usually the theme with a lot of newer courses is an open, wooded, and marsh type course for each 9. The two 9's I had the opportunity to play were both open with moderate challenges. Very well maintained course. However if I were looking for a challenge there is a course just down the road that offers 3 9's with 3 distinct challenges. So would I play it again yes if the price were right. But for a challenge I would probably go somewhere else.

Well maintained, most holes in great sharp, tee box, fairway, and green. each green fast and persist speed. South course longer and more difficulty, little disapoint

Highly recommend this course (South/West). Besides the wet sand traps, the course was in great condition. Greens were amazing and in awesome condition.

played in 3 hrs.....................................

Pleasant staff, well maintained course. Was pared up with 3 good players and ended up having an exceptional time. Even the beverage cart girl was fun and attentive.

I played Tanglewood for the first time and really enjoyed the experience. The course is very scenic and well maintained--in general. It is in a golf community so there are homes around the home, but not many are right on top of the course. The starter controlled the groups well and we were not rushed at all. It was a very relaxing pace.

The greens had been aerated and were a bit bumpy, but still playable. It rained the night before we played and this left the course a little wet (standing water in sand traps, etc.). The rough was the main issue for me. It was long and it was TOUGH! I was in the rough more than I wanted to be and you pay the price for straying from the fairway.

The thing I liked most about the course are the gorgeous par 3 water holes. We played from the blues and some of the par 3 holes require long carries over the water, but they are pretty spectacular.

I look forward to playing here again.

We played the same day as an outing. When we made the turn they had no idea what course we were playing on the back nine. We had to wait over 20 minutes for them to give us an answer and when we asked the starter he was pretty rude about it. Once he figured it out he had us start on hole 3 and finish on hole two. This was kind of weird. Other than that the course was beautiful and was a nice challenge.
