When it’s wet, watch out

This course is in a floodplain and will be wet for 3-4 days after a heavy rain.

Tired old man

This was a great spot to play back in the day and it’s sad to see how tired it is. The course is still a great challenge from the tips and in decent shape, but people need to take care of their ball marks on the greens. It’s a great value and it’s paying for it unfortunately. Please take care of this tired old man.

A great course good condition

It’s been a long time since playing Tapawingo and it didn’t disappoint. A challenging track from the back tees but absolutely accessible with so many tees. Some greens are tough while others are flat and accessible making it work for all skill levels.

Better than it looks on TV

I’ve watched the tournament for years, but it never gives you the appreciation for the changes in elevation, how exposed some of the greens are to the wind or how the back nine gives you so many different looks. Well worth the cost as it’s a premium experience for sure.

Not a friend of GolfNow

So we showed up, even though it was raining heavily and the forecast was terrible, because I was skeptical they would be accommodating with my reservation... and I was right. These guys don’t like GolfNow and the head guy was quick and thorough with his disassociation with GolfNow. He went off. I told him I wouldn’t have ever come here without Golfnow and he was dumbfounded and told me I was on my own about a rain check. Clearly both sides are at fault and neither will take responsibility, so we get screwed.

The GolfNow policy is the course has to close due to the weather and the course policy for everyone else besides GolfNow is to wait 40 minutes, but they wouldn’t cover me, so I have to make the claim and hope I get refunded in over a week?!?

This should be much easier and I hope GolfNow recognizes this issue on both sides.

Worth the trip

It was well worth the trip from the North Shore to play this old style Country Club, especially for the great deal. The greens are great, especially for a course that was given up on a couple of years ago. They are catching up and I look forward to the next time I play it. Breaking 80 from the blacks today wasn’t super challenging until the back, but a perfect place to bring my son for a great round of tight but forgiving, hilly, tree lined golf that you just don’t get at many public courses nearby.

Fantastic renovation

Great greens. All 18 roll true. Country Club consistent. It appears they took a tired Muni and breathed life into it with cosmetic as well as tactical enhancements. Looking forward to playing it again soon
