Reynolds at Tanglewood Park Golf Club

The Reynolds Course at Tanglewood Park sits within a public facility in Clemmons, just southwest of Winston-Salem in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the course in 1957 as part of the estate's transformation into a public park, with later renovations by MacCurrach Golf helping to preserve and update the layout. The property was originally part of the Reynolds family estate before becoming a Forsyth County park, and the course reflects Jones's characteristic mid-century design philosophy applied to gently rolling terrain.

The routing moves through mature hardwood forests and open meadows typical of the North Carolina Piedmont, with elevation changes that are moderate but meaningful to strategy and shot values. Jones incorporated his signature features including large, contoured greens, strategic bunkering, and several water hazards that require careful course management. The layout rewards accurate placement over pure distance, with tree-lined fairways that demand position play.

As a public facility, Tanglewood Park serves a broad range of golfers and hosts regional amateur competitions. The Reynolds Course is the championship layout among multiple courses at the property, offering a traditional parkland test that has introduced generations of North Carolina golfers to classic American golf architecture. The course maintains its role as an accessible venue where Jones's design principles remain evident in the routing and green complexes, even as maintenance practices and playing conditions have evolved over the decades.
