Beautiful course

Well-maintained course, given the extremely dry summer and fall.

Challenging enough for my wife and me, both 20+ handicappers, but not frustrating.

Would definitely play again, and recommend to others.

Nice restaurant, Mulligans, on site.

What a gem!

Beautifully maintained course. Great choice for my wife and me, both 20+ handicap.

The rock formations on #17 are puzzling, however.

Little out of the way from Fairfield Bay where we were staying, but we'll worth it!

No two holes alike

Great layout! No two holes are the same. There is variety on every tee box. The greens had some bare spots but rolled smoothly. They are letting the sand traps go to grass. This really didn't effect scoring but I'm sure if all the sand traps were there, the course would be outstanding and probably was when it opened in 1999. Great place to play and a challenge on every hole. Hope to be able to play it again sometime.

Tannenbaum conditions

Tannenbaum is a great course. Greens were good, with some dead spots. Fairways were brown as the grass has gone dormant or died from lack of water. Course still played ok. Not even close to a $70 course when in this condition though.

Nice course but

The drought has not been nice to the tee boxes or fairways, Greens are in fairly good shape, just wish people would repair their divots.

Some the greens need help

The day started out with the staff telling me that I did not have a tee time booked. They said I had not paid the computer did not show and booking. I had to go through my emails and showed I paid. Then they wanted to say I only paid the service fee and I had to show them on the email where it was paid in full.

Took about 5 minutes to get it worked out before we got out to play. They were kind of rude until I proved I paid in full and had a tee time booked. Fairways were cut nicely but lots of rocks on the edges. Multiple greens had issues with crabgrass, bare spots and even crevices made putting difficult at times. They had the fans going on all of the greens which which made putting even more difficult.Course layout is fun.I have played there several times and will hopefully play again.
