About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Due to the weather , we were the only ones on the course at 11:40 am. It’s a beautiful course but full of challenges. The layout on the scoreboard was very small and useless but the fairways were clearly marked at 200 yards and every 50 yards to the green I would recommend a round here to all my friends and go back often.
Great course very challenging a lot of water will play it again though.
Not like it used to be
First time playing this year. Bunkers look like they have not be touched all season - some with big rocks all over, plastic visible, no rakes.
Tees, fairways and greens in decent shape, but the bunkers were so bad they were a distraction from what I think used to be a beautiful slightly difficult course.
Carts did not seem to have been cleaned in quite a while. No water on the course. No hotdogs at the turn.
In my opinion, overpriced for the current condition.
Play was incredibly fast
I thought the course was in good condition. The San traps were not great but course was excellent. Course play was extremely fast in morning.
Our Favorite Course
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.
Great Greens
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
Only worth playing if round is heavily discounted
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.
Tamarack. Nope
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.
Luckily I didn't pay much
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.
