Honest Review

If you are a beginner golfer then this course is for you. For those who have been playing golf for years skip this course. Greens are okay but fairways are like hitting hitting in your backyard. We hit numerous balls in the fairway and could not find the ball. The course needs to invest in some weed be gone for the fairways and around the greens.

This course is in transition

The greens were recovering from aeration, the grass on the green was too long, greens were slow, fairways and tees appear to have been reseeded recently

The course is challenging and has a good layout. I would wait until next spring before trying this course again.

The rate was appropriate for the condition of the course

Slope Pasture

I used to love this course as it tested your ability to put the ball in the air from various uneven lies. However now it adds to it by testing your ability to distinguish the fairway from the rough as it all is the same--weeds. Very disappointed even though I played pretty well. Won't be back until someone I know has played and says there is actual fairways. Wasted drive as I could have played many other courses in better shape on the way.

Needs lots of work

A tough course, but fairways were more weeds than grass. It worked against having a good time.

Tanglewood is what it is

My title pretty much states it. If you go not expecting much, then maybe you will be ok. Crabgrass everywhere in the fairways, half dead tee boxes, greens with ball marks all over the place, and some overall bad holes are the norm here.

With all that said, I went knowing all this before hand as I have played the course several times. It was cheap and not too far away from the house. I will play it every once in a while just to get some golf in away from my home course. However, I don't think I would ever recommend the course to anyone unless I knew they would be ok with an overall below average course in return for a cheap price.

Our apologies for your below average experience at Tanglewood. We are making strives to get the course into better playing condition. But it has been a rough weather year for not just our course, but for numerous courses. We hope you can look past this experience and join us again for a round of golf at Tanglewood Golf Course.

As a course, we try to maintain our putting surfaces the best we can. With that being said, we've ran into some problems with the record setting rainfall we received this year. With that much rain, there will be disease. We are doing our absolute best to get the course and especially the greens back into the best playing shape possible.

I would like to say good things..

This course improved greatly last year under new ownership, but it appears the have lost the course this year. Many dead or washed out areas and greens (which were excellent last year, are terrible). Super nice people, and I wish them well, but I can't recommend this course at this time.

Our apologies for your bad experience at our course. As you mentioned in your post, we are under new management and continuously trying to improve the course. The amount of rain and intense heat we were hit with has caused problems including the washed and burned out areas. This is a constant battle with any course that experiences the type of weather we've had this year.

We are doing our best to get Tanglewood not only back to where it was last year, but even better. We hope you still keep us in mind when looking to play a round of golf.

Tanglewood ROUGH

Played here for first time in 10 yrs. not much has changed with the course. Greens and tee boxes were in poor condition. It was 95 degrees when we teed off and all the water buckets were empty. No cart girl either.

Sprinklers!!!

There was a problem during our round with the sprinklers. Obviously the timer was not working correctly and we were held up several times due to the sprinklers being on around the greens. When we called the staff they did nothing to address the issue. They simply said that the timers were messed up and the person who knew how to make adjustments was not available.

Definitely Recommend

Found this course while on vacation and decided to give it a go, since the pricing couldn't be beat. Paid $14 for 18 holes and a cart on a holiday weekend, that can't be matched anywhere. This course provided plenty of challenges, with the sloping fairways/greens to the elevation changes, tree-lined tee boxes and water hazards. Made several donations to the golf gods while on this course, but had a great time doing it. Would definitely love to play this course again!

Interesting course

Course was in pretty good shape, however, this is not a course you just jump on and play a single round. The elevation changes with blind tee and fairways shots combined with long grass everywhere allows for a frustrating round of you are not familiar with the course. I would only play this course if you are relatively close, get it for a good price, and plan to play it multiple times.

Truthiness

I played this course 2 years ago. Said I would never play it again! Why? It was in terrible condition. The staff was rude. And the villas, apartments they rented 2 years ago looked like they didn't belong on a golf course! With all of that why did I book a tee time? "Hot Deal"! Couldn't pass up the price and thought I would keep my head down, play a round with my dad, and go home.
I checked their website after booking the tee time and read "new owners".
In a paragraph or two they talked about getting the course better, the apartments better etc?
I never believe these web sites!!!
I was wrong! The course looks beautiful. The greens rolled true. The fairways were nice. The staff were very nice. The bunkers looked great. I was never in one? But looked 100% playable. I will be back to this course more often. Truthiness

John,

Thank you for your kind words about our course. We appreciate your business and are very pleased that you enjoyed your round here.

Don't forget, we have a Friday Night Golf scramble every Friday evening starting at 6pm. Teams consist of 6 players for 9 holes. Most weeks we have a live band afterwards as well! It really is a great time.

Once again, thank you. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

I will return

You couldnt ask for a nicer play for the money,the greens were quick and the fairways were in great shape.The course was a bit challenging due to the hills, but will be easier to manage the next time I play. Only complaint is $12.50 for 6 beers... seemed a tad high.
