Tamarack Golf Club
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.

Nice layout
My golf buddies have a love hate feeling about this course. Lots of water and it's easy to get in trouble. I've played it twice in the last month - both times with great Golf Now deals (under $20). I really like it. Greens are in good shape. Its challenging from the back tees but fair. I'll go back.
Poor
Very frustrating to play due to the horrendous pace of play from multiple times playing this course. At times, the 3rd, 4th and 5th hole can feature 7 groups within 3 holes. Pin placements are often hugged behind bunkers or on downslopes.
This course is what you'd expect for its price.
Always a challenge.
The course is in pretty good shape and holding its own due to all the rain there has been lately. Person in the pro shop was not very hospitable. The course is always a challenge as most fairways are crowned or slope towards hazards.
Sadly, it was disappointing
At first glance, the course holds promise: Bunkers, water hazards, and shapely fairways and greens make for some pleasing-looking holes. But as you make your way, you realize the fairways are riddled with weeds, the greens are bumpy from last year's aeration, and the winding creeks are more bothersome and pesky -- than proper penalty for a bad shot. I actually shot a good score on the front, just one over, with a ball in some impossible-to-see water. And yet, I didn't love it. Next time, I'd look for a Hot Deal.
Like a beach
Tough course, sand to the left and water to the right on most holes. Course was in good shape and well kept. Tough but fun course.
As usual course in good condition and well maintained.
Only thing bad I can say, is whomever picked pin placement yesterday must've had a bad morning. Every pin, save I think 3 were on the side of a crown. Somewhat unnecessary for an already challenging track.
Needs help
This place is in terrible condition. Ant hills in the greens. The rough and fairways are all over the place either thick or dry or dead and some pins were 1 or 2 paces from being off the greens.
Overrated course
I'm not a fan of a course that takes the driver out of play as much as this one does. The sloping of the fairways turns good shots into water balls on several holes. This course is designed to penalize good shots as well as bad. There isn't a good bounce on the entire course. After all of the rain we have had the past couple of months i couldn't believe how dry the course was. Much of the grass was brown and the ground was rock hard in places. If I hadn't gotten a hot deal for $17 I wouldn't have bothered with this course. I won't be back.
Great course especially for the value
Lots of water, but fair. Greens were fast, well maintained course. Play time was a little slow, but otherwise a good day for golfing.
Restrooms
The course could use a few more pot-a-johns throughout the front 9 and back 9. Other than that, it is a nice course with beautiful homes surrounding it.
Splish splash
Great course for golfers who don't stray far from the fairway. ALOT of water hazards, nearly every hole
Challenging
Being retired I look for course that are fun to play but also affordable. I paid 29 dollars for cart and 18 holes. At this rate I would play this course more often.With my modest retirement check I can afford to play once a week. At this rate I would be able to play more often.
