Taranwould Golf Course is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Newark, New York.

This is a short course - 4,350 yards, par 66 - course. The course first opened for play in 1991. The course was designed by A.L. DePorter and William Tatro.

One of the interesting things about the course is that several of the holes are "replicas" of holes at famous courses.

#2. Back tee 140 yards. (Replica of the 12th hole at Augusta) Front tee 125 yards. You must carry water and sand to a narrow green. Par 3
#3. 247 yards. Green is surrounded by waterfront, side, and back. Par 4
#4. 234 yards. (Replica of 13th hole at Pine Valley) An iron off the tee, aimed at the fence is best. Fence line on left is out of bounds. Par 4
#5. 97 yards. English style par 3 with deep bunker cut into the green. Carts must stay on the cart path. Par 3
