Tamarack Golf Club

Sad to see a course like Tamarack go to waste due to lack of maintenance obvious signs lack of personnel to manage course and amenities.

The course offers best value for money spent. We have played here many times and have never encountered any problems, not with staff, not with pace of play, not with course conditions, not with cart path only rules etc. When other golf courses have raised rates ( we stopped going there ), Tamarack has kept rates low. Their booking portal works perfectly, never had an issue. When I had left my viewfinder in the cart, it was there the next day for me to get it back.

The green were in great shape, held approach shots and rolled fast and true. My only negative feedback would be that there was no sand in the sand bottles to fill in divots. Even at the turn, all bottles were empty except for rain water

Decent layout but course is not well maintained and greens are rough, slow and bouncy. Normally way over-priced but worth playing if you can get a discounted round from TeeOff or GolfNow for under $40 w/ cart.

Course was poorly maintained. Greens were furry and yet not very receptive. The course is well overpriced. They don’t offer nine hole rates. The tee times were stacked in a way that forced a 5 hour round . This is a must to avoid in the Naperville area.

This course is highly dilapidated. The fairways themselves we're pretty good, but everything else is a mess. The clubhouse looks like it's falling apart, the parking lot and grounds are filthy, the quality of the bunkers are terrible (hard as a rick and no rakes in site), all grass outside of the fairways is mostly just dirt, goose poop everywhere, the large mower they used was pumping out exhaust like a coal factory, there was no cart service, and there was no food at the snack shop other than bottle drinks and a handful of candy bars. I played here 10 years ago and it was a very different experience.

The first time I played Tamarack, it was beautiful, well maintained, bunkers were perfect, etc....What a difference a few years makes!! I took my wife there on 8-16-21 and WOW. Some of the bunkers had plantation growing out of them, rocks and pebbles, and no rakes anywhere to be found!! They ran out of score cards, a lot of the cart path had pot holes throughout, the greens had numerous little divots on them. Very disappointed and more than likely will not return. The staff was the best part of the round, very friendly.

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were great condition. No food was available at the turn. Overall a great value.

This course would be great if it was maintained.

Looks like every green was hit with one million craters from outer space and never fixed by a player or the course. Business model seems to be charge $$ and never spend $$ to maintain. Dog poop.

Also pin placement sucks. Should not be making pin placements the most difficult possible locations on the greens when the players golfing are all hacks. Also does not help pace of play.

Get it together.

Fairways and greens were fast and in good shape. All water hazards were real nasty, dirty looking. Sand traps were more like dried dirt than sand. No rakes at any sand traps. No water coolers for refilling water bottles. That would not have mattered if the beverage cart came around during our round. On an afternoon that was into the low 90's and a 1:00pm tee time, we only saw the beverage cart once over 18 holes. One lemonade does not last 18 holes. We got stuck behind a group of teenagers that obviously were never taught course manners. 18 holes took 4-1/2 hours with no break at the turn.

Disappointing - overall course conditions were much less than expected. The bunkers were dirt and rocks, the fairways head patches of dead grass or mud, and the greens were not in good shape. Had played there last year and was surprised at how poor conditions had were.

It's a good course. But the staff needs to improve signage, regarding direction towards the following hole. We were searching for the following hole several times during our round. This should not be an issue.
