N.C.'s Tanglewood Golf Club tops Power Rankings for the week of Oct. 20

This week's GolfAdvisor Power Rankings feature a North Carolina one-two punch. In Clemmons, The Championship Course Tanglewood Golf Club edged out 7 Lakes Country Club in West End among the top-rated courses of the week in the U.S.

Tanglewood is a 36-hole, county-owned facility outside Winston-Salem that features two Robert Trent Jones Sr. designs that date back to the 1950s.

"This is a true, championship golf course," wrote Sniffy 66. "Framed by tree-lined fairways that define this picturesque, parkland course."
