In the team picture for best 9 hole courses in area!!!

I had never played Tam. I had heard that it is a great course. It did not disappoint. Lush fairways, greens, tees and bunkers. Very impressed. Greens were quick but extremely receptive and rolled true. Not a long course, but awesome if you want to work on hitting a hybrid / 5 wood or iron from the tees.
Staff was courteous, professional and warming. I didn't stop in for a sandwich or libation, but the bar looked fantastic.
