Woodlands 9 Very Scenic, Overpriced & Tee Boxes Rough

I have not played Tapawingo Nationial (Woodlands/Prairies) in over 2 years. The Woodlands is a very scenic 9 holes with the Prairies being more flat and not as scenic.

My first impression of the course when comparing it from 2 years ago, I thought the course had slipped some. The grass (poa annua) has taken over much of the greens. Resulting in a much slower putting surface. The tee boxes were not in good shape. The course is priced way too high at $77. I just played the best course in the area (Annbriar) the day before for $52. Pace of play was an issue too.

They have always struggled with their practice green. Not sure why. They had sections of it roped off for repairs.

The first few holes of the Woodlands are always roped off and no carts allowed to enter the fairway. With the large, steep moguls on the side of the fairways, it is a challenge to walk up and down these. Very easy to fall when walking down them if wet.

I think they have the best all-beef hot dog at any local course. They split the hot dog in two, grill it and place it on a toasted, thicker bun.

I would still recommend Tapawingo. It has some quirky holes but they have some very scenic holes, especially on the Woodland nine. Beautiful clubhouse too.

Already green and in great shape.

We had a great round. It was not crowded so we were not pushed and didn’t wait either. The greens were very good and rolled true. Thanks for a very enjoyable round.

Lovely homes surround the course. It was a beautiful day Sunday, just much slower than we were expecting.

Windy day, very slow play

Course and clubhouse are good, but it was a death march 5 1/2 hour round. Terrible place of play, and marshals weren't around to push groups ahead on pace of play.
