The Back Nine Can Be A Watery Grave

Tallwood is a great tract with a super back nine. The front has three par threes that require different clubs. The rest of the front nine has some interesting holes and requires you to think before just pulling driver every-time. Number 8 is a great strategy hole. The back nine is the real challenge with water on every hole except 18 and the lone par 3. Once again driver is not always the correct club and your approach shots must be precise. Not much movement in the greens but they are well protected. A ton of length was added a few years ago but really didn't make much of a difference.Improved bunkering in terms of line of sight and protection could make this one of the best courses east of the river. Right now the bunkers are just large instead of being true hazards. The back nine is definitely not for beginners.

Great Value for Spring Golf

Tallwood CC has done a great job updating the course over the past few years. Conditions were pretty good for spring golf - fairways were in good shape and the course was not too wet. There are some temporary tee boxes and the greens are somewhat sandy. Nevertheless, it's a fun course to test your game after a long winter without golf. The staff are very helpful and the price is exceptional.

Wet, of course!

1”-2” rain everyday, what did you expect? Under those circumstances, everything was great. Thanks.

Wet conditions!

Considering we’ve had nothing but rain and snow melt, the course was OK but soggy. I look forward to when it dries out. Good job. Thanks.

Mikes review

I gave the conditions and value the ratings that I did because greens were recently aerated and were virtually covered with sand. The reservation was made on line thru TeeOff and , of course, no mention was made about the greens condition.
