Tough Bear Track

We were warned that the course would be tough and it lived up to that expectation. Early on we recognized the holes were difficult to assess from the tee and fairway and relied on yardage book. Requires precision from the tee with some narrow landing areas typical of Hilton Head, and my 15 year old who plays on the high school team was totally intimidated and struggled the entire day.

Hidden Gem

I have visited Hilton Head for years but had not heard anyone mention Dolphin Head as must play course, but I will certainly encourage golfers I know to play a round on this very nice layout. The holes were well routed and had a flow that made the round very enjoyable. Also, the course was in good condition for the heat of August. Staff was friendly and helpful and the entire experience was a pleasure.

A True "Championship" Golf Course

This is a true Championship golf course, framed by tree-lined fairways that define this picturesque, parkland course. The course conditions were excellent and the experience was enhanced by a perfect early fall day under Carolina blue skies. But be prepared, as this is a course that also presents a golfing challenge that will test you from begining to end, and demands your A game if you hope to post a decent score. From the tee accuracy is at premium due to the bermuda rough, and several holes demand length to set up good approach. Tanglewood also rewards the ability to work the ball off the tee, notably at #4, #5, #9, #12, and #17. The Championship course also demands well struck iron shots, as deep bunkers surround most greens waiting to swallow any mishits. The greens are also tiered and segmented into generally 3 distinct putting areas, so approaching the correct pin position is critical. Rare opportunity to play a Major Championship course that remains capable of testing even the best players.

Great course with a challenging back 9

Super golf course from start to finish. Well designed holes with stunning views of surrounding mountains. Course grew progressively more difficult as the round progressed with a series of long par 4's and long par 3's on the back 9 that make bringing hole a good score a real challenge.

Camelback Padre Course

Very nice golf course in a lush setting which was unexpected for Scottsdale. The course had a nice variety of holes with unique challenges. Club selection adn target line were critical if expecting to score well. Really enjoyed the par 5 holes which reuired you to make decisions from the tee box regarding placement of the drive if you planned to go for the green.

Very nice public course that has country club feel

A really nice layout that is in wonderful condition. Course feels very open from the tee and presents a good chance to score on most holes. Although the course plays through a high end residential development the houses do not intrude on the course.

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.
