North/South at Tanglewood - The Lion
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Enjoyable
Really enjoyed this course. Well maintained and pretty landscaping. The group of two in front of us invited us two to play along because the pace was running slow. Happened to be some young gentleman that worked there and they were a pleasure to play with and patient with us beginners!!
Very challenging Good variety of holes
Variety of slopes , bunkers and water hazards
Very challenging
Nice course
Not worth the wait
This used to be a very well manicured golf course, but now it is over-watered and the greens very average (or below). Additionally, every tee was a mess. The second tee on the West course was so wet that you couldn't even step on it--and it hasn't rained in 10 days! Every ball hit in the fairway ended-up with mud on it. To add insult to injury, we waited at least 5 minutes on every single shot--all day. There were no rangers on the course and take note that there is NO drinking water available on the course. Every other course I play has water coolers on every third or fourth hole. With all the construction going on in South Lyon, it appears that this course may turn into a housing development soon. Sunday afternoon was no peace-and-quiet. There was construction gong on everywhere around the golf course. It's very busy and loud. Overall, a very disappointing and underwhelming course (and surrounding area). I will not be returning there anytime soon..
South course
South course greens were like hitting in the sand. Just in terrible shape
Tanglewood. Worth the $$
New holes or changes really make it play differently. Fun course, visually pleasing and nicely maintained. Couple of tricked up holes but most are fair and challenging.
Fun and challenging course
Well maintained and fun course to play.
Consistent course
Course was in great shape. Unfortunately, the starter needs some training in professionalism and dealing with customers. Very rude and didn't seem to care about the patrons. At the 7:28 tee time for a twosome, we asked to tee off before two groups of 4 and the rude response was NO. My son is a scratch golfer and I'm a 6 handicap and we played the course from the tips. We painfully watched two groups repeatedly hit 3-4 shots before they crossed the 150 marker. There was no marshall out on course as usual. Painful.
Okay for the money.
The price was fair. The course was okay. The greens were as hard as the parking lot. Not receptive to wedge shots at all. Nothing stayed on the green. I will not play here again even if it were free.
Tanglewood
Good layout. Very friendly staff. Driving range is short and was closed for cutting at mid day which is bad business.
Course under repair
My 4-some enjoyed the course -well maintained for spring golf.
Only problem is score card needs updating, since holes have been reconfigured.
too much construction
The course itself was fine but there are McMansions going up all over the place and all the gravel, construction, trash, etc takes away from would could otherwise be a great round of golf.
The greens were in good shape early in the year and the west side was much better than the first nine I played
Great early season round
Thanks to the course team ,for getting the course open. The course was in good condition considering the early season date.
Great course for the $$ on this November day!
Got a great HOT deal on Golf Now. Course in good shape for this time of year. Greens a bit slow.
Consruction is an Eyesore
Played the North then the South 9. South had development of the area around almost every hole. Would be better if play North and/or West for now.
Detours
Good all around course if you take into consideration that the south course is surrounded by heavy equipment. Kind if distracting along with the same side irritating the tee boxes, 6 foot square to tee off made it tough to focus. Back(west) was ok till I caught the nine hole groups. Then it was ten minutes on every box.
Tanglewood
This course is in great shape except for one hole that they are changing. Greens are fast and in excellent condition.
