Good value

Played the back tees and it's definitely a challenging track. Good mix of birdie holes and challenging holes. Biggest reason I didn't give it 5-stars is because the bunkers were a disaster. There are lots of them and for the most part they were just hard red clay/dirt and not much sand at all.

Not a great practice area. Range was really beat up and there really isn't anywhere to practice your short game, as the putting green doesn't allow chipping. Overall, it was definitely a good value and I'd play there again. Course definitely has a lot of potential should they find the budget to make some changes.

Tanglewood Reynolds

This is probably a more interesting layout than the Championship course. Alot of woods and tight fairways with unique angles. Tee boxes were in need or repair but the greens were very good. The beauty of this course is the wildlife. Deer were constantly walking across fairways all day along with Canadian Geese. If you can get on this course for $18 or less its a steal.

Enjoy the wildlife

Most people are playing the championship course so we had no pressure behind or in front. Deer were strolling the course at various places. Beautiful round of golf!

decent bang for the buck

Not bad for a $20 round. If you are going to get any food or beverage before your round....arrive early! Took us 15 minutes to get a couple things because they only have 1 person working! !!

Good deal at $20

Last minute decision to play and I found this on GN for $20/man. The greens are slow and in reasonbly good shape. The fairways are a little thin in spots but green. The tee boxes are in poor condition. This course is very tight and accuracy is much more important than distance. Nice elevation changes throughout and it gets less traffic than the popular Championship course. If you can play it for $20 - do it.

Championship Course

I grew up playing this course and conditions were good. There were a lot of divots in the greens that were not repaired. Overall the greens were true and faster than expected. The fairways were in good condition and most of the tee boxes were as well. Pace of play was slow especially on the back 9. Enjoyed the round but it was hard to get in a rhythm with the long wait between shots.

I agree w/igotthisone

igotthisone pretty much nailed it with the review. The layout is very good, I mean it's hosted PGA & Senior events but the was years ago. No sand bottles for divots. Greens good but but unfixed ball marks (players fault but...). GolfNow discount made it a good value and the deer roaming around were nice/relaxing.

Greens are in great shape!

Best I have seen the greens in some time. Soft and a little slow but no thin or bare spots.
Fairways are decent, bunkers in good shape. Tee boxes are thin and weedy especially the ones in shade.
I wouldn't pay the full rate to play but you can't beat $18.00 from Golfnow!

Championship layout by a master designer

A unique opportunity to play a public course that has hosted a major championship. The layout and design of this Robert Trent Jones masterpiece offer a true sense of what the pros face in a high caliber course which feels like it has the capability to still test the best players. The course is well bunkered from tee to green and requires accuracy and length from the tee, while the greens have multiple tiers which require careful club selection.

Fallen from Grace

I've played this course over the years and like so many courses this has been on a decline due to the economy and declining revenue. I love the course layout, the history, the challenge but it needs a bit of love. The bermuda on the tees and several fairways is thin for this time of year. The greens are good, very soft so you can go after the pin but as a result the greens are scarred due to people not repairing ball marks. Traps are assorted, some have recently had top grade white sand like that at Augusta and others are basically red gravel. Overall, it is a good round but I'm sad to see this poor course age like it is without getting the love it deserves.

Getting a little shabby around the edtes

Tanglewood championship course is a real golf challenge, and it all comes around the greens. The course is covered with sand traps. Fairway traps re well situated to catch your slices, but it's easy enough to stay out of them.

The greenside traps on the other hand, gobble up everything that doesn't hit the putting surface. Bring your best iron game.

JUst getting on the green, however, isn't enough. Most are multi-tiered and have subtle breaks everywhere.

The greens are in excellent shape, and a well hit putt will keep its line.

Sadly, the care of the tee boxes and fairways seems to have fallen off, and they are not in great shape. There are lots of bare spots and weeds are creeping in.

Too bad. this is a gem of a course that is now at risk at falling into B status.

ray shelton

no problem with the course itself. problem we had and the group in front of us is that our tee times were not received by course employees. "worked us in" and tried to charge me (again) for playing even after I had given them the receipt I had printed out. good thing I carried it with me. my first time using golfnow. will try it one more time and see if it is worth using in the future. very frustrating being told you don't have a tee time.......

It needs a little TLC. Some tee boxes were thin, fairway were nice. Greens rolled smooth but were a little slow. Overall great course, very challenging with tons of tradition!

Great Course

Played here several times. Tanglewood Championship Course is a great course and a great challenge. It's far from an easy course. Don't come here expecting to pull out driver on every hole. Also, you may want to bring some sunscreen, a pale, and a shovel...b/c you will probably spend some time on the beach! Lots of bunkers and most of them come into play! Somehow, I found a tee time for $20, what a deal for this course!
