About Manor House at Tanglewood Park

The Manor House Bed and Breakfast isn't your typical golf hotel or resort, but its location inside the 1,100-acre Tanglewood Park does have its advantages.

The Victorian era manor dating to 1859 has been completely restored. All the rooms include their own private baths and period furniture and decor. Golfers can also stay at the cottage, guesthouse and apartment. Park amenities feature an aquatic center, horse stables, tennis courts and more.

First Time Playing

Very nice course. Excellent staff. Personable and helpful. Great value.

My wife and I really enjoyed our round. The fairways and greens were excellent. Lots of bunkers and lots of fun! This was our first time and we wll certainly be back. Best public course we have ever played. Everyone made our experience the best. The staff was genuinely friendly and so helpful. We really didn't expect the course to be so pristine for what it cost to play. Absolutely great value for the money. We are seniors and the course was the perfect challenge for us. I will encourage all my player friends to come here to play ! Thanks for a perfect outing guys.

Great course with a lot of doglegs to make you think what you are hitting off the tee. Greens were nice and rolled really well.

Nice little challenge

Very good course. I ve played here a few times and the fairways have come in very nice. Greens in great condition too. Course is looks open but the 99 bunkers make it tougher than it looks. Also make sure you know the pin placement, many of the greens have a couple tiers. Played the front nine in about 90 minutes as a threesome back nine slowed down but was not too bad. Rangers and club house staff are very friendly.

good time, challenging course

I am relatively new to golf, but when I found this deal on GolfNow, I couldn't pass it up even though I knew this was a tough course. I probably visited every bunker on the entire course, but they were so well-maintained that it didn't bother me. The layout is a bit tricky, and you will really need to pay attention so that you don't get lost en route to the next hole, but other than that, this course was excellent.

great price for the money

Course in excellent condition. Bunkers do have various amount of sand in them, so a little inconsistant. But besides that excellent golf course to test your skills

Staff very friendlyand Course was very tough

I feel if you are going to advertise you have 99 bunkers that you should have #1 good sand and not red clay looking sand with peebles in it. I have 4 rock marks on my wedge after playing out of the bunkers. #2 spread out scheduling of tee times better, we had to wait over 10 minutes in between shots due to course congestion.

this course has great features

I've played here for years, but this time, the greens were in great shape. Smooth and slick. Great course for a shotmaker. You'll wanna be fairly accurate, to tackle this track. Not overly long, very fun course while hitting it well. Not so much if your spraying just a bit.

Bunkers everywhere

Played this course mid March on the way back from Myrtle. Scenic, challenging course, hilly, lots of bunkers. Fairways not completely green, but playable, greens slopey, but smooth.

Many bunkers in play, yes I hit quite a few of them, mostly got out OK.

BTW there are 2 courses, we played the 'championship' one.

Nothing specular; although it is February

Not in great shape. I'm sure the course looks better in the warm months and will be much more visually appealing.

Nice facility, very enjoyable and challenging layout. Classic Robert Trent Jones layout .

Played the last day of 2013 so it was winter golf. I was paired up with a local threesome and the first thing two of them mentioned were sandtraps...for good reason. This is a Robert Trent Jones track and was a pleasure and a challenge. Traps were something to be aware of both defining fairways as well as the green complexes.

The course was still in good shape even for December. Greens were receptive and rolled true but were not terribly quick.

Most greens were broken into two or three sections with considerable elevation changes between sections so you want to find the correct section.

Pace of play was fine. Staff was courteous and helpful.

Good layout with miix of holes. Par threes were generally challenging. My only complaint was the gap between the Blue tees at 6600 yards and the White tees at 6000. It kind of felt like you had the simple option of a considerable test. For this type of course and with the the classic Robert Trent Jones runway tees (some had to be 60 yards long) there was room for something between 6600 and 6000 for a intermediate challenge.

Excessive amount of bunkers

I believe every course should have some type of signature to itself and heavy bunkers would be one, heavy amount of water would be another, etc... However; I feel this course was a little over the top in terms of bunkers. I have played at nearly 200 courses around the U.S. including Hawaii and have never experienced this amount before.
The course may want to consider reducing some around the greens, maybe make some into a grass type bunker. The worst part is I played on a day that it rained all day prior so the bunkers were in poor condition which only made the course in poor condition because this course signature is bunkers.
Just my opinion, I tried the course but probably won't come back, I may try the Reynolds course.

Championship Course

Was harrased by ranger who approached our group from behind and asked us what the hold up was, we were keeping up with group in front of us who I thought was maintaining an acceptable pace of play (4 hrs) for weekend play, also another ranger would stop directly in front of us while we were hitting, this was very annoying. No etiquette

Good condition for November

Played after Thanksgiving on a very cold morning. Low traffic. Course was in very good condition for this time of year. Greens were pretty fast and true. Fairways have dormant grass, but the ball sits up well. Staff was super nice!
