Meh

Greens were in good shape but dont get your hopes up about the fairways. If its your first time playing this course bring extra balls, there are a number of blind shots out on the course. Frustrating to play when you a guessing where to hit your ball.

Playing your A game

Really challenging course makes you bring your A game to score. I'm a duffer and this course brings out your best. Love the greens and the fairways are in the best condition I have ever seen here. You want to improve your game, this is the place. Not recommended for beginners.

Greens very good condition .Tee boxes lacking grass and muddy. Not a walker friendly course green to tee need to ride. First hole 420 yd par 4 on senior tee probably should reconsider. Also 553 yd up par 5 senior tee a little much. Play it forward . Design for scratch golfer not bogey golfer.

Dying quickly

Unfortunately, our hot dry weather is taking a toll. Lots of dead areas around greens. They seem to be letting fairways grow long in places in order to keep it alive. Greens are in very good shape. Folks are always great.

Big improvements

Course really looks good. Greens are very good and the grass is mowed. I said 3 years ago I would not go back until improvements happen. Well they have. Glad to see the course take shape.

Now let's 13 fairway slope reduced.

Great job....

Horrible

Here on a stay and play and will never come back. This course is absolutely horrible. Tilted fairways that you can't hold a shot and also overran with cover and many bare spots. The greens are small and won't hold a shot as well. The food in the clubhouse is not really good. Complete mistake coming here and a waste of money. Look elsewhere, you'll be glad you did!

We here at Tanglewood are sorry to hear your views of the course. I do not believe it is an accurate assessment of our course. I see the date of this was posted during our Club Championship weekend, and after reading other reviews, I can honestly say that our course is in the best shape it has ever been in. The greens roll true, and our fairways and rough are grown in. Our course is hilly and does require well placed shots to score.

I do apologize you did not enjoy your stay. I believe we will have to agree to disagree on the course conditions.

Thank you,

Ben McCormick

Fun course, but challenging at times

This is a nice course with some unique layout challenges. A couple of the holes can be unfair if you are unfamiliar with them. Number 13 slopes extremely hard from left to right making it difficult to place your drive just right. Number 5 has water come into play and you better know how far to lay up on your second shot without going into the water. All in all I like this course and it is in fairly good shape this time of year. The greens were great.

Always Worth It!!

This was our 2nd time playing the course and from the staff to the fairways/greens, it was another excellent experience again. We will be back many times next season.

Has potential

This course has potential but needs to invest some money before it can be a really nice course. Pros: friendly staff, nice pro shop, beautiful scenery. Cons: course maintenance (Tee boxes not mowed. White clover and weeds make finding balls hard to find in fairway. No fairway or yardage markers. Dated golf carts. Multiple drainage pipes/wet spots that smell like sewage spilling out along fairways.) Women's tee boxes either poorly designed/designated or randomly placed in the fairway. Hole designs (279 yd par 4 followed by a 253 yd par 3). Would like to see them spend some money and dress up what could be a really nice course.

Worth the price

My wife and I are seniors and we love the course. The rough is a little long and the fairways not the absolute best, but for the price the entertainment is superior. The Staff is always super friendly, the pace excellent and the price tough to beat. This is our go to course.
