Lake Tanglewood
 | |||||||||
 A
private resort community where you will find your very own oasis of
luxurious living... Your place to relax, refresh, reenergize and to
discover the simple pleasures of life. Lake Tanglewood is peaceful, quiet, and off the beaten track... yet only 15 miles from Amarillo (theaters, restaurants, shopping and excellent medical facilities). Lake Tanglewood Golf Association was formed in 1977 to promote golf and fellowship among the residents of Lake Tanglewood and to insure proper maintenance of the golf course. To get the course up to par a group of "hardy pioneers" took it upon themselves to meet the maintenance needs. Members adopted greens and spent countless hours mowing, watering and caring for them. Many fund raising projects helped finance needs for the course.  In
1982 a project of publishing a Lake Tanglewood phone book was started
and the sale of the books goes to the LT Golf Association
treasury. Through all the years it has taken teamwork and
dedication from lots of good people to accomplish so much for our
course. In 1991 golf cart trails were completed - - again with the
cooperation of lots of people and the generosity of citizens at the
lake. The course is now maintained by the Lake Tanglewood, Inc.
maintenance crew. The golf association sponsors many tournaments, holds
quarterly supper meetings, and the ladies have a luncheon once a month.
Improvements are constantly being made to the course. There is no
playing fee for Lake Tanglewood members. A small fee is required for
guest of members. The membership dues for the golf association is
$10.00 per person per year. Arts and Crafts Club  Arts
& Crafts was started in 1970. Tea invitations were sent to the Lake
Tanglewood women and the first official meeting was on January 18,
1971. The dues are $10.00 per year. In 1976 a series of money-making
projects was launched. The various fund raisers have included,
cookbooks, quilt making, and bazaars. The money raised goes to various
community projects including the volunteer fire department,
improvements to the clubroom, donations to the Golf Association, and
beautification projects for the park and main gate. The club is not only interested in learning crafts but in sharing and helping the community. Benevolences include: making splints for the ambulance, toys given to the Church for needy children, hand puppets for local hospitals, lap robes and aprons for nursing homes and money donations made to numerous organizations. The club meets every Monday from 9:00 a. m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Clubhouse. Purpose of the Club:

Lions Club The Lake Tanglewood Lions Club was organized in 1984 and on April 19, 1984, a charter was issued by Lions International. The Club was founded to help those individuals that are less fortunate than we are. The Club has furnished leadership and money to the Panhandle Eye Bank, provided funds to send young people to the Lions Camp in Kerrville, sponsored girls from Girls Town USA to shop for shoes and coats, assists in the eye glass program in our local schools, and sponsors a Boy Scout Troup at the Lake. The Club has painted the marina and helped build the restrooms and other projects for the Park at the Lake. The Club has three fund raising events each year:
Anglers Association The Association was formed at an open meeting at the Clubhouse on October 9, 1986. The purpose of the Association was to improve the fishing in our lake. We have an on-going program with the Department of Fisheries Management at Texas Tech University to assist the Association with balancing the fish population in the lake. Fishing
Lake Tanglewood Community Church 
Lake Tanglewood Community Church started in the summer of 1971. Several
families began meeting in lake-front yards to worship together. In bad
weather, they moved into the Community Center for services. The church
officially formed on May 9, 1972 with 125 charter members. Construction
for the present church building was started in 1973 and dedicated on
March 23, 1974. The building was paid for and the note burned in a
ceremony exactly one year from the dedication. A fellowship hall and
two classrooms were completed in November 2002. The church has had five
