About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7022 yards
Slope 138
Rating 74.4

Opened in 1991, the North and South Courses were Tanglewood's original championship 18-hole course before the West nine was added in 1995. All 27 holes are known as "The Lion." The North is the gentlest of the three nines and the South is a mix of trees and water while the West has water on almost every hole. The North/South course has a gently rolling terrain that doesn't offer dramatic elevation changes but it also makes a flat lie hard to find. The undulating landscape also gives a bowl-shape to most of the holes that enclose errant balls and bring them back into play. The South nine incorporates a variety of wetlands, offering a pond or marsh hovering around many of the greens. The club is consistently ranked as one of the best public golf courses in the metro Detroit area.

Really Nice Course

The course is in great shape and I think it is set up very fair for the average golfer. For us today the only problem was it was a little busy and we played in just over 4 1/2 hours but overall great great

This is a nice course but overpriced for what you get. There are several other courses close by at a lower price. Sand traps were horrible

Price

OK COME ON. Are you really charging your in season price when it’s 40 degrees out. Not a chance I’ll take some other course prices below $20. By the way a course who is home to a few universities is below $20.

Rip Off

Workers everywhere on the course by the greens. Had to hit approach shots with them working around the greens. No warning at all that the greens were aerated. Even worse it was only the front nine. The back nine was normal. Caused allot of problems with speed control considering the practice green was normal. Golf is hard enough. It becomes impossible when the green speed is drastically different on each 9.

Solid course.

For 50.00 you can’t beat it.

Little traffic in first 9 - but the back was sailing. Course is in good shape.
