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.

A game needed
This is a superior layout in great condition.
I scored poorly, making the mistake of playing back tees.
Over 7000 yards too much given my 16 hcp. The par threes are extremely difficult from back there.
Will play again. Next time I’ll play white or silver.
Great Golf Experience
My wife and I played the South/Wets nines. Th staff was absolutely great from the Bag Drop to Check in to Starters and Rangers. The course is in great condition. The greens were not fast but well-manicured and rolled true. The carts paths had been recently repaved, and they were outstanding. We saw the cart girl 3x during the round. The range is not very large but has several targets at marked distances. We hit ff the mats.
Tanglewood delivers a private club level experience. It is worth the drive and I will return.
Great course!
Great course, only saw the cart girl on hole 2 and drove right past. Bunkers could be better but overall course is in great shape!
Great Saturday round
Even for high noon tee time pace was solid, course was beautiful after having had heavy rains Thursday night. Greens and tee boxes were excellent.
Just Okay
one of those places that if you can get out there, and play one time, it's worth the trip. but I would never go back. probably good for the average one - two rounds per month golfer. Seemed like a lot of ladies and alot of old timers out there.
Lack of coarse mgt.
The coarse was nice but it’s way too slow… way over booked.
A gem
One of the nicer courses I’ve played and not an easy course either. Every aspect of it was top notch. Will definitely play here again every time I’m in town.
