Showed up 20 minutes before tee time, two groups in front of us were waiting for golf carts, we finally got carts and teed off about 40 minutes after our tee time. The reward for all that frustration was greens that were terrible.

The course is in pretty good shape all things considered. The only thing you have to watch out for would be getting killed by limbs from all of the dead trees. Need lots of work there.

Without a marshall or anyone paying attention, the course is becoming unplayable. People were allowed to run around the course jumping in front of people, and the pace of play was about 5 hours.

The course is in good shape considering it's still late winter. There were not any noticeable issues with fairways, greens or tee boxes. Like a lot of courses, pace of play can be an issue depending on who is on the course as there are no marshals pushing folks to play at an acceptable pace or let others play through.

For the past several years, this has been the best public course in mid-Missouti; however, things have really gone south in the past 30 days. The fairways are still mostly great, but there are some spots that need immediate attention. The greens are in very poor shape. I hope they get things back on the tracks before it's too late.

The course itself was in pretty good shape and the layout is one of favorites. On the downside, the cart paths are a crash and lawsuit just waiting to happen. There was also no water in the coolers and this was before 2pm.

Over the past several years, the powers-that-be have continued to make this course easier to play. So what you have is a nice, straightforward course that doesn't eat every ball you brought to the course. It's a beautiful setting, nice clubhouse, good carts, and decent conditions. My only gripe is that players are not fixing their ball marks on the greens. I don't know how the course fixes that, but it's an issue.

Overall the course is in good shape and the folks running the show are wonderful. The only problem is that several greens look darn rough and need attention right away.

I drive 35+ miles to play this course and I'm never disappointed. The fairways and greens are always in great shape. There's a starter and folks that keep an eye on the course and players. My only real complaint is the lack of sand in the bunkers. I know it's Missouri, but it would be nice to play out of some nice, fluffy sand rather than pea gravel, or whatever that stuff is.

I love how this course is laid out. Lots of elevation change and beautiful scenery. But with lots of hills and trees, you'll get in trouble if you can't control the ball.

Amazing course. Fair and fun, but if you're having a bad day, it'll eat you alive.

This course had the best tee boxes and fairways of any mid-Missouri course. If you haven't played it yet, you should.

It's always a pleasure playing at Tanglewood. They do a fantastic job of taking care of the course. While the pace of play is normally pretty slow, the good folks who frequent this course are wonderful about letting quicker players through.

Course is in great shape and the staff is wonderful. The tee boxes could use some love.

I play a lot of courses and nobody provides the kind of service these folks give you. There's always a friendly welcome and you are quickly on the course. Call the clubhouse and minutes later they are on the course delivering food and beverages to your cart. The course offers a lot of variety, it's fair (not too penal but still challenging enough), and it's always in good shape. I also appreciate the fact that a marshal is on the course helping to keep things moving and reducing the chances of a bonehead ruining your experience. And who doesn't love the island green on 18?

This is a nice, easy course that's walkable and normally a pleasure to play. I don't know what's happened, but the greens are in very poor condition right now and could be shot soon if someone doesn't do something drastic right away.

First tee was a cluster. Nobody managing when groups tee off, not even someone calling out over a loud speaker who's supposed to be on the box. There are still way too many limbs and branches that need to be picked up.

Everything was great with one minor exception (there was no grill, so no burgers or dogs) and one major exception (the group in front of its was two holes behind after just four holes and they didn't let us through and no action from the staff).
