The Tanglewood at The Tanglewood Club

The Tanglewood Club sits in Chagrin Falls, a village in northeastern Ohio's Cuyahoga County, approximately twenty miles southeast of Cleveland. The course was designed by William F. Mitchell, an architect whose work during the mid-twentieth century included several layouts in the Ohio region. Mitchell's designs typically emphasized strategic bunkering and green complexes suited to the rolling terrain common to this part of the state.

The property occupies land characteristic of the Western Reserve's glaciated landscape, with mature hardwood trees framing fairways and elevation changes that provide natural movement to the routing. Courses in this area often feature dense woodland corridors and seasonal water features, and the design work from Mitchell's era generally reflects a traditional American parkland style with an emphasis on playability for club members while maintaining challenge from the appropriate tees.

The Tanglewood Club operates as a private facility, serving its membership with golf as the central amenity. Clubs of this type in the Cleveland suburbs typically maintain a family-oriented atmosphere with dining and social programs complementing the golf calendar. The course hosts member competitions and club championships throughout the season, which runs from spring through fall given Ohio's continental climate. Winter conditions generally close the course for several months each year.
