Links Course

The overall conditions of this course is excellent, the greens were running very fast.
There are at least 100+ bunkers and they come into play on many holes.
Lots of challenges for the experienced golfer to the high handicapper.
Love this course.

Great Spring day for golf

My son and I enjoyed our first round together in 2023. Although it’s only the middle of April the course was in good condition and it was such a beautiful day. It was somewhat windy and did make the course somewhat more difficult.. We walked the course and there was no beverage cart and no place to refill our water bottles so that was a little disappointing. We do plan on going back as we were overall very satisfied.

Great links course not in the UK

This is an excellent version of true links golf with pot bunkers, firm fairways and wispy fescue. The greens putted very well and some local knowledge is needed on some holes to take advantage of them fully. Overall a fun and challenging experience in playing links golf. We played on a day with winds gusting to 45-50 kmh so it really made it feel authentic. Be sure to play tees that lean toward being shorter than your normal course if it is windy. Overall very enjoyable and I am playing again in a week’s time.

Test your game

Tarandowah is unlike any course in the area, with fast hard fairways lined with fescue focus is on hitting fairways, missing pot bunkers which like true links style courses are an automatic stroke penalty.
Blind shots and undulating greens place premium on distance control and imagination of shots.
If the wind is up, which is often, this adds the extra dimension which makes this course a must play for anyone who truly wants to test their game on a different type of golf course.

A fun and challenging course to play

We started on time and finished in four and a quarter hours. The fairways were hard and similar in playing conditions to other courses in the area. Greens were in good condition but there were too many unrepaired ball marks.

Friendly staff greeted us before and during our round. The Starter offered us a free basket of range balls and a course guide. Much appreciated. A refreshment cart passed our group multiple times during the round. Picked up food at the 10th tee.

Looking forward to teeing it up again at Tarandowah.

a good links course

in a gusty and sunny afternoon, we played 4some at this course. It says there are over 108 bunkers at the course, the fairway was dry and hard, the green was faaaaast.

The proshop was very friendly and helpful .

The only thing I can see an improvement is the amenities and the club house, it can use some renovation.
