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.

Good value for what we paid

The weather conditions for play today were great. The rough was long but the fairways were in good shape. The sand traps were in bad condition and need some TLC. Overall, though, it was a good value to play this course.

Course Has gone down over the years

The fairways and greens were nice. The sand traps were so bad with weeds and big rocks that they were all designated “ground under repair” - so sad and shows the lack of investment in keeping the course nice. I now see why it was the only local course with available t times when all others in Naperville were packed solid

Waste of money

I was a member for 5 years on this golf course before the new owners came in. The current conditions of the course is the worst I have ever seen. I will never go back to the golf course again. Which is very sad considering me and my father play back course sometimes 5 days a week. When I died I never play for 3 and a 1/2 years. I went back today to see and remember my father. It was one of the worst days of golf of my life. The condition of us golf course is so badd that the sand traps have weeds growing in them that are at least 2' high. I am very upset that a beautiful golf course can go so badd so fast. All to make a couple of dollars for the new company. Truly a sad state of affairs. Sorry for the bad review. I tried uploading pictures will not let me

Needs help

This course used to be always in great shape. Not so today. Weeds and rocks (big) in bunkers, very little sand. Many dried out areas and ruts. Worst shape I've ever seen it in. Too bad.

Walked

Great potential, needs a little love.

The course is a fun, challenging layout, but fairways and rough are very brown and dry. Greens in good shape, but course needs some better all around maintenance.

Unfair

Unfair.....water every hole and fairways funnel to water. Frustrating to hit the ball on the fairway with a draw and be penalized every-time....

Wedding and Banquet center with a golf course

With other great courses nearby, this one comes in as the ugly step child..

If you like playing golf winding through subdivisions

and houses lining the course this one iis for you, but not for me.

About the only thing this is good for is a cheap place to play

It’s been neglected

Such a nice course. Too bad it has been neglected so. Weeds growing in the sand traps. Deep pot holes along cart paths.

Greens were nice. Fairways well kept. But the rest ignored.
