Tamarack Golf Club is a course that will test your shot-making skills yet it is still player-friendly enough to appeal to all skill levels. Pete Dye designed the course with tight, sculpted fairways and undulating greens that come in a range of sizes. The layout offers plenty of challenges with water or sand coming into play on every hole. The golf course will test your accuracy but it is not as difficult as many other Dye designs. The third is one of the toughest holes. A severely undulating green protected by deep bunkers makes placement vitally important on this par 3. The 15th is one of the back nine's more challenging holes. It presents an interesting risk-reward opportunity with a myriad of teeing options. Water lines the entire right side and the two-tiered green is flanked with bunkers to the front and right.

Tamarack a great value, nice course!

Tamarack is a great course, super challenging, and the condition of the greens and fairways is excellent. We've been in a drought most of the summer and everything is still nice and lush. Played today, and even after green aeration and over-sanding we could still have an enjoyable round with no issues putting. All the grounds crew was super conscientious about quieting their equipment when we were hitting our shots-very impressive. Even the head greens keeper was out checking practice greens and overseeing everything. Other reviews focus on the bunkers (condition-wise)but don't talk about how nice the fairways and greens really are and just how challenging this course can play.. Honestly, for the money this course can't be beat!

Fun Course good all levels.

Tamarack is good course for all levels of golfers. Keep the ball in the fairway and you will be happy. Lots of water on most holes to keep you focused. Sand traps could use some new sand and grooming, many were not playable. Greens and tee boxes well kept. Dave in the Bar/Check in post is awesome. Very Friendly and helpful. Excellent value.

Tee boxes and greens

Tee boxes were tore up divots everywhere, needs a lot of attention.

Greens as well just only about half were in bad shape.

It did rain at the beginning of the round, but by the third hole it had stopped. The course handled the rain pretty well, drainage was efficient.

Tamarack…..

The tea boxes were all destroyed. The fairways were in good shape so were the greens. There were softball sized rocks in the bunkers.

Tamarak

1:20 tee time for 2 got to course no carts are available they somehow ran out of golf carts ended up tee in up 20 minutes later. Greens were full of divots and all the bunkers were basically craters full of dirt no sand what so ever. I would say if your a decent golfer don't waste your time. The kids in the pro shop where friendly.

You get what you pay for.

If you can get on for $40 or less, pretty good deal. Would not pay more though. Carts were not clean. Had to swap one out for us on the 12 th hole cuz it ran out of juice. Bunkers still horrible. Overpriced food! Staff was very friendly and helpful though so I’ll play here again but only on a hot deal.

Traps

Sand traps were very bad, otherwise, course was excellent, excluding a few rude golfers that didn’t repair ball marks, I would suggest, if they don’t wanna take care of traps, fill em in, make grass bunkers, easier to take care of

If you cant find it for cheap skip

Bunkers were concrete .

Pace of play was so slow. So backed up they didnt even have carts available for my tee time.

In the middle of a subdivision, so not much they can do course layout wise.

Greens were okay, tee boxes were not.

Staff was great!
