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
No Sand in Bunkers
Many holes were nice, some were beat up and no sand in any of the bunkers. Would not recommend this course, but for the money the greens are pretty good and the layout is fine.

Conditions have deteriorated
It has been at least 6 years since I played here, but it used to be a beautiful course. The course conditions all the way down to the facility conditions have really deteriorated. The place needs a face lift and some TLC on the course.

This course has great features. Amazing views! Challenging course with its obstacles ( water and bunkers).
Staff was great! Water and drinks were readily available throughout the course. I would come back just because of that!
My only negative was the poor maintenance of the tee boxes. Probably the worst I’ve played on. If the tee boxes were up to par, I would have given 5’s across the board.
Thank you.
We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled you enjoyed the views and our staff's service! We're sorry to hear about the tee box maintenance and will address this with our team. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience!
A good layout gone to the dogs
The course maintenance improved slightly from two seasons ago, but not too much lately. The most disappointing aspects are the sand bunkers and the cart paths. Bunkers still has vegetation. Luckily shrubs and small trees from the bunkers were removed. Cart paths are getting progressively worse. I once called it Tamawreck. The name still stands
Course condition was terrible
This used to be a good track, but they’ve let this place go big time. Bunkers were full of rocks and weeds, Tee boxes were dead and brown, and water stations on the course were empty. Take your $75 elsewhere.
sand traps
if you are going to have 100 sand traps on a course make them sand not cement with rocks and weeds. i took my ball out so i wasent ruining my clubs.
no management
the pace of play was terrible with teenage kids jumping holes and backing everyone else up
Great layout. Poor maintenance
Great challenge. Water in strategic positions. Sand traps were the worst I have ever played in the western suburbs. Soaking wet, weeds growing in the middle of them. Like hitting off pavement
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the challenge of the course. We’re actively working on improving the condition of our sand traps and appreciate your input. Your experience is important to us, and we hope to provide a better round on your next visit!
The course was wet, but it doesn’t excuse years of neglect from the clubhouse to the tee boxes to the greens. Perhaps the dirtiest bathrooms I’ve ever seen at a golf course.
We're disappointed to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. If you're willing to share additional details, please contact us at jtreude@arcisgolf.com. We'd appreciate the opportunity to make things right.
Nice Course
I played with a nice young man who was a good golfer. I didn't shoot my best on the front nine as I had to get used to the conditions. The second nine was better. Water around a lot of holes and tall rough. Bunkers were soggy as it rained earlier. Nice weather and a good day!
Thanks for your feedback! We're glad to hear you had a nice day on the course, despite the tricky conditions. It's great that you improved on the second nine. We appreciate your insights and hope to see you again soon for another round!
A good layout slowly regaining its breath
A year ago this course could have been called 'Tama ruin' but the management is doing little things and the course is recovering - not a lot - but playable. Drainage is a big problem. Even after hours of a rain it geta water-logged. Cart will be restricted to cart paths only. And the player has to slosh through retained water. There is absolutely no drainage. Every hole has a water hazard. Putting in some drain pipes can improve the drainage significantly. Another issue is the general appearance, I noticed they are cutting down overgrown bushes along the water's edges. Please keep doing it. The bunkers need more restoration. Some areas need some retention walls along the water lines as well. Naperville area has a very large golfing population. If the management can do some work to improve the appearance, they will start to return.

Work on the Sand Trap. Otherwise the course is not bad.
Pace of play terrible
The pace of play here was horrendous. Even for a Tuesday afternoon with a BUNCH of open tee times. Played the entire last 10 holes with 5 groups back to back to back. Many of those holes had all 5 groups on one hole backed up waiting for one another. Called the pro shop and they said they’d do something around hole 13 and absolutely nothing was done to remedy the situation. Just bring a Marshall out to nudge people along. Not that complicated to fix, but they seem to have no desire to do that at all. I can’t imagine what this place is like on a weekend.

Simply Not Good
Hadn't played here in a couple years, and was hoping for a much better experience than the last time. Unfortunately, really no saving grace to be found - it's somehow gotten profoundly worse over time. Many tee boxes were missing markers, bunkers are in horrible shape, and pace of play was absolutely atrocious. No one enforcing pace of play, people trying to jump holes and cut ahead, and just a general lack of etiquette seem to be standard here. This track seems to just attract the cheapest and most entitled golfers in the Chicagoland area. The cart was broken, there were not any water coolers on the course, and the lack of restrooms on a course that is surrounded by houses makes for a very long five hour weekday round as a single.
