Tam O' Shanter is on the east side of Sharon off I-80 at Hermitage Road to the north.

The golf course layout is a classic parkland design by the former superintendent of Oakmont, Emil Looffler, in 1929. The layout produces a slight elevation change as it journeys along tree-lined fairways over, across, and bordering four streams leading to small to mid-sized greens well defended by sand traps. It's a par of 71 at 6,537 yards, 69.4/121, course/slope ratings from the tips with three shorter tee boxes.
