Needs a repeat performance

Course was in excellent shape for winter conditions! Lots of bunkers, a la RTJ, and a fun round. A few “wonky” holes but all in all a great course! We’ll be back!

Good challenge for newer golfers

Course is in great condition! A very tough but fun challenge for new golfers. Should’ve brought my bathing suit because I spent a ton of time on the beach.

Extremely Disappointed

I’ve been playing the Championship course at Tanglewood off and on for 30 years. I was extremely disappointed at the condition of such a prestigious golf course. The bunkers were good, greens were average. The balance of the golf’ course conditions were very bad. I have no problem paying $50 or more to play a nice golf course. However, in its current condition the course is way overpriced for the value.

Nice Winter Round

Played in early December on a rather windy day. Course conditions were certainly above average for this time of year. Played at a very nice pace - below 3 1/2 hours on a Wednesday. Top notch staff - friendly and helpful.

Late season conditions on the Champion Course.

It was a beautiful day with a good friend. Course is in late season condition. Grass on fairways and tees are spotty, but greens rolled out nice. Bunkers had too much sand and we had several fried egg lies. I know we shouldn't have hit into them. All in all it was a good experience .

Great course

Fun course. Straightforward. Very challenging greens. Fairways, tees, and bunkers are all in good shape. The greens are very good. It’s a solid public golf course. Only reason it’s not five stars is some of the attention to detail around the course. For example, I didn’t see any water coolers on the course. And most of the areas outside the fairways/rough are not landscaped or lush.

excellent rebuild and staff was great

Reconditioned bunkers are nicely done, and new greens were smooth and fast. For years the only complaint i had was beat up greens due to people not fixing ball marks, and the new Bermuda greens don't show them nearly as much. Staff were all great, inside and outside.

Excellent Course

The play is a little slow because it is so popular. Most people are respectful and allow to play around. The members not so friendly and will not offer to allow a single to play around. This is expected.
