Tanglewood Golf Club
Established in 1991 and designed by course architect William Newcomb, Tanglewood Golf Club is a semi-private club that offers a challenging layout, beautifully manicured greens and three different nines to choose from. Given its country-club atmosphere, its no wonder why this fantastic 27-hole facility was voted "Best Golf Course" in Metro Detroit in 2009 by Channel 4 WDIV’s "Vote 4 The Best" contest. Once on the course, you'll learn quickly to appreciate the pristine views and lush surroundings "The Lion" has to offer — especially on the West course, where you will find one of the most unique green designs in the country. Molded to mimic the shape of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, West No. 6 is even detailed with a miniature Mackinac bridge and "beaches" on its west coast. Of course, this also means that the green is surrounded by water so accuracy is a must, as it is on several other water holes.
Beyond great course conditions, Tanglewood Golf Club offers highly experienced staff that can help you with every service a golf course has to offer, whether its booking your leagues and outings, acquiring lessons from their PGA-certified teaching professionals, or simply re-gripping your clubs. A driving range and short game practice area are also on hand to keep your game sharp before or after your round.
After your round, try one of the many different dining options that Tanglewood Golf Club offers. The Dimple-Dog restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and a menu that features hot dogs, hamburgers and wraps, making it a perfect spot for a cold one after your round. For those of you looking for a fine-dining experience, look no farther than the Fountain View restaurant and its unique and exotic cuisine prepared fresh by its skilled chefs. With a beautiful gazebo and two large water fountains, the Fountain View is a perfect setting for any special occasion and the staff here will be glad to help you plan your upcoming event. As if it wasn't hard to choose already, Tanglewood Golf Club makes it even tougher with the Patio Bar and Grill, where you can enjoy spectcular ribs, chicken, steaks hot off the true wood-burning grill. The wealth of options at Tanglewood Golf Club means that you'll itch to come back and experience "The Lion" again and again.
