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
Course continues to go down hill
I have played this course multiple times through the years, both with friends and in golf outings. Needless to say, they have gone the price route in that the course was in terrible shape today. I understand you get what you get for $20 afternoon green fees, but no marshals, no on course water, no cart girls, bad greens, terrible bunkers and concrete everything else. I highly recommend playing any other course uless your budget does not permit.
Tee boxes and greens in poor condition.
Sand traps.. if you call it that we're mostly rock, gravel and muddy water. Save your clubs.
Staff was very friendly and accomadating.
Course needs Major rehab.
Overall Great Course With A Great Price!
I have golfed here many times in the past few years. With the app GolfNow, I can play for $24 and sometimes cheaper if there is a hot deal. Now with a price like that, one would think that the quality of the round wouldn't be so good. On the contrary, the course was fantastic. Well kept fairways as well as fairly cut rough. The greens were not the best but they weren't the worst. Lot ball marks and debris from the trees that need to be cleared. Other than that, it is a truly remarkable course. The staff in the clubhouse was friendly, helpful, and understanding, which goes a long way for me. The pace of play was subpar as well. The tee times were back up when we got there. We had a 3:02 tee time, but didn't tee off until 3:20ish. I love this course, will be back very soon, and recommend it to any golfer of any skill-level!
Course is a bargain
This golf course is a great value, and is a challenging layout. The greens and tees were a little shaggy but it was an extremely hot holiday Sunday when we played.
Great course for the price!!!!
Always enjoy playing this course and for the price, you can't beat it in the area!
No ball washers, no raked bunkers, nothing was done on greens. Golf course was not ready for play
Review
This course is a dog patch with unfriendly service. Would recommend for you 8 year old learning the game. If you are an adult, pay to play a better course. This place is poor.
Perfect Pace
I got a tee time as a single on a Friday teeing off at 11:18 and was allowed to play as a single. 2 foursomes allowed me to play through and I joined a twosome on 8th hole. I finished my round at 3:10pm. Outstanding! The course was in great shape for late October golf. Lots of water hazards and it really challenges a slicer. At least 2 of the par 5's are force lay-up holes for the average golfer. I am not a fan of that, but they were both interesting and challenging holes to play. The course plays shorter than the yardages on the scorecard, but is still a nice challenge.
Chalanging but Great Value
I have played this course 15 to 20 times and it is demanding. If you are up for a chalange you will not be disapointed. There prices have been very good, check there web site for golf/lunch specials.
Lots of water hazards
First time I played this course. There were 4 options for tee boxes on each hole with recommendations on the score card to advise which tees would be best suited based on your handicap. Fairways were well defined, but a little overly wet where the sprinklers were located. In my opinion the course had too many bunkers for amateur players. The course had plenty of lateral water hazards as well along with a couple of holes where you had to play over the water. Some of the greens were somewhat small compared to other public courses I play. Also the greens were a little on the slow side. Bring plenty of balls when playing this course. Between the out of bounds and water hazards I lost a few balls. I would have had a hard time finding the pro shop if I hadn't been with someone who played there previously. Golf carts were electric with good power. No GPS in the carts, but there are yardage markings on sprinkler heads and markings for 200, 150, and 100 yards to green centers. If you have a personal GPS device, I would bring it with you. I had no problems with the workers at the course. I would not recommend this course for a beginner, (too much water) but it's a good challenge for an average golfer and the low handicapper playing from the tips. Good course for the price I paid, and yes I would play it again.
Slowest golf course in the Chicagoland
Well I gave this course a second chance. The pace of play is the worst. No joke waited on some tees for 30 minutes... Staff took no advice or didn't even attempt to fix the siutlaion . Instead just pass it along to another employee of the course
