Tangle Ridge Golf Club

About
Tangle Ridge Golf Club's location near Joe Pool Lake is favorable because of the elevation changes that spice up this well maintained public course. The course offers some outstanding holes, highlighted by impressive bentgrass greens that putt true. In addition to the elevation changes, Jeff Brauer's design features generous fairways lined by thick brush and huge trees. Two holes grab your attention on the front side. The opener goes 469 yards and might be the most difficult on the golf course. While there aren't too many hazards, bunkers protect the fairway and green, and the thick rough lining the fairway makes it a difficult long approach if you miss the smooth stuff off the tee. Tangle Ridge Golf Club's eighth hole is considered the signature: a 575-yarder that rolls downhill off the tee to a creek that cuts the fairway at 300 yards out. The approach on no. 8 must carry the creek to an elevated green protected by two massive mounds.

Very tame rabbit. Saw three on number one. Photo submitted by paulpederson on 06/21/2014
Greens in bad shape
Many greens are full of weed and rolling very inconsistent. Rest of the course was ok.
Sad state of course
Played TR many times and it’s normally a good value but the course was in sad shape. Weeds are every where and the greens just pitiful. To ask $80 for the condition is enough to keep me away for a while.
Awesome course. Dragging pace
The course was so backed up I could have grabbed food and still been back to waiting for the hole to clear. The course itself is really nice. Very well maintained. But hardly enjoyable when your playing 1 hole every 40 minutes
Great Layout
Really well set up. Challenging with a lot of hazards and lots of elevation changes. The greens were in rough shape but that's the only issue we had.
Rough shape, lots of poa
First time playing here. I’ve heard lots of good things about it. My neighbor warned me about the poa all over the greens, but I didn’t think it was that bad. I was wrong. Front nine all the greens are in pretty rough shape tons of poa. It’s like trying to put on a Plinko game…ball just darts left and right. On the back on the greens were much better, but there were still a few greens that were infested by poa.
Most of the fairway was pretty decent however, there were a few holes where it looked like a pasture, lots of weeds.
The course layout is really cool and I enjoyed several of the holes.
Most of the bunkers were either completely filled with water or extremely wet.
This course must be better during the summer but right now I cannot recommend playing it.
Very Average
As with most courses currently, the fairways and rough are producing very tight lies. With this course having small greens with many elevated bowl designs made many holes overly penal for shots that just missed the putting surface, and then the recovery shots from 20 yards down the slopes on hard ground almost impossible.
First time back in a few years
Got a great deal on the app and good tee time. Unfortunately there was a storm overnight that drenched the course causing them to make it cart paths only all day. As a result it was a 5
hour Rouen and just finished before dark. We waited 5-10 minutes on every tee box. Love the layout and natural terrain and variety of holes and club selection. The greens were really bumpy
and had crab grass on most of them. Not as well
maintained as I recall when I used to play it regularly several years ago but we have had some really cold weather recently so that could be a reason.
Interesting Course
Pretty good condition currently despite recent snow rain, and general winter. Layout is challenging, but a great mix of different holes. One other review was a bomb and gouge course, but this definitely isnt true. Mostly tight with only a few true smash driver holes.
What a course!
This is one of the best and challenging courses in the area if you ask me. You can get into trouble, depending on club selection, on any given hole. The course is in great shape and you can tell the greens keepers take pride in their work. The pro shop and hole 19 could use an upgrade, but you're there to golf right? I would recommend this course for any type of golfer, new and experienced.
Nice course for money
Course was in good condition overall for Feb. Hole placement could be a bit better ashope were hard to read and a couple holes were on slope and ball actually rolled back a couple inches. Made putts almost impossible. Really like this course though. Difficult bunker placements at times but overall pretty foregiving
