Tanna Farms Golf Club

Overall worth it

I like Tanna Farms. The layout is good and its maintained well, with the exception of the bunkers, which are more dirt than sand and the cart paths are in need of some work, as there are lots of big bumps in some areas. But it's a course I am sure to visit again.

Top notch

The Preserve at Oak Meadows is one of my favorites in the Chicago area. Beautiful layout, well maintained and challenging. It is more expensive than most courses in the area, no doubt. But if you are looking for an exceptional golf experience, I recommend Oak Meadows.

Beautiful course, but terrible pace of play

I like the course. It is beautifully maintained and has a nice layout. However, there was never once a Ranger to get slower players to pick up the pace and our round took over 5 hours and we shot 80 and 84 respectively. I will not be returning to play there anytime soon.

Very, very tight course

Watch out for errant shots here, as the course layout is very, very narrow and holes almost seem to overlap in some areas. Target golf to be sure.

Great unless it rains

This course is a good bargain when compared with other area courses and is a nice layout . Just do not play there if it has rained in the last 48-72 hours, as it doesn't drain well. But if it hasn't rained recently, I enthusiastically reccomend it as a good value choice.

Best in Gulf Shores area

Great course layout. Well maintained. Drains after rain exceptionally well and wildlife on the course is an added attraction.

The course is one of the best in the Gulf Shores area. It drains exceptionally well, so after rain, it is a top choice.

Worthwhile

This course is a little off the beaten path, so perhaps it doesn't get as much thought as some. Great staff. The course has a good layout and is maintained fairly well. Good value.

Conditions not great

Years ago I played Fresh Meadows several times a year. I had played there today for the first time in a few years. Unfortunately, the conditions were substandard. Sand bunkers were more dirt bunkers and looked like they had not been raked in a week or more. The course had long dead grass laying all over from the last time it was mowed after not being mowed for far too long and both the fairways and rough currently are too long and need mowing. Better maintenance is needed.

Great vslue

One of the best local courses in the Gulf Shores area, just across the Florida border. Rates are lower than other top courses and it drains real well after rain hits.

One of the best

A beautiful course, with great conditions, including true greens. Drains especially well, so after rain, this is still a course that can be played.

We will return

The golf course was still a bit wet on some holes, so it was cart path only, but most holes were fine. The course was beautiful, and in good shape, except for being a bit wet here and there. The staff was friendly, helpful and very attentive. We will most certainly return.
