Tamarack Golf Club

I hadn't played Tamarack in a few years and had a deal on GolfNow come up. The course was in really good shape and we flew around in 3 1/2 hours. That is really all you can ask for in a golf course; good condition and fast play.

I kind of like Tamarack but there are some things to note. For me it is very close to home. They have a good practice putting green that I will used, and they allow chipping. Rates are decent. No range so be aware of that! Course has some challenging holes. I think they have water on 16 of the 18 holes. On the downside, I hate that they book outings in weekends. That was the practice previously, not sure of this year. Also I wish people would rake bunkers and fix ball marks. I am not sure why this is such a problem here and not so much at other courses. No starter, no ranger and rarely (ever?) a drink cart.

Tamarack is a great course but is definitely not for beginners. Nearly every hole on the hole has a huge water hazard, and some even have water on both sides of the fairway. The place can get busy but I have never had an issue getting a tee time or worried about slow play time. Overall, it is a fun and challenging course for the more experienced golfer.

Course is a challenging course with many bunkers and water obstacles strategically placed throughout. Course is well maintained. Staff is very helpful.

Poorly maintained the fairways very dry the Pace of the play slow no starter or Ranger people hitting more than ball we have to wait for them.too much drinking going on.

Nice course, kept in good shape. Fairways, rough and greens were all consistent. Water seems to come into play on every hole so you need to keep it straight. Only downside is no driving range.

I have been playing Tamarack for a number of years now and come back at least 2-3 times a season to play. The course is challenging enough for the weekend warriors and typically under $50 for 18 with a cart on the weekend. Fairways are pretty wide open and forgiving when the hook/slice happens. Bunkers are in play but there is enough room to navigate the course. They have a couple of good water holes and Par 5's that are challenging and fun to play. For the most part the greens are consistent, there are some slopes to consider and the greens are nicely kept. I'd recommend Tamarack to anybody.

I like this course, is very convenience.

I will put more water cooler in the course.

A challenging little course, where water is on every hole and comes into play on over half the holes. But it's fun anyway for the moderate to good golfer. Par 4 holes are mostly high 200s to low 300s in yardage for women. The clubhouse/pro shop is charming and vintage with a wrap-around porch. I would say this is one of my favorite courses in the Chicagoland area.

Had a great time playing Tamarack. Course was in great condition with roughs well maintained as well. Only downside was the pace of play - the group ahead of us was too slow.

I played this course 1st time, is a very challenging course take lot of balls because you will loose some at least for the first time until you know the layout.

I did not enjoy playing here as there is lot of water narrow fairways poor markings overall the condition poor.

We teed off at 11:25 and finished at 4:30. Pace of play was very slow but that did not stop the twosome behind us hitting into us on 5, 9, 10, 12 (twice) even after finding out that we were keeping pace with the group in front of us. Also greens had been aerated without sand and rolling.

Pace of play was very slow for this time of year in my opinion. greens are still aerated in may which boggles my mind. Traps were in good condtion. Course is accommodating to the weekend warrior, however a 6 pack of beer for 30$ is extreme. 20$ in the clubhouse, 30$ plus tip from the beer cart lady. craziness! my beer was more than my greens fee. however this is a locals course. will play it again and again! if the price is right!

Good course. Tons of bunkers

This Golf course used to be a very challenging well manicured course, now the tee boxes are horrible the course in general is really bad. It needs a lots of work. Please fix it don't let go down. For the love of golf.

It was good like always just the pace of people was terrible, i know it takes 4 to 4 1/2 hours to play but people loses pace time. Staff always friendly, i will play again this year for sure i like this course because is hard.

Overall my 1st experience here was good. I'll will be back for sure!

Weather great, course good, greens fast and clean, we'll worth it, thanks Tamarack! (and golfnow)

Late October golf in Chicago, in shirt sleeves, is a rare treat. Tamarack was in good shape this late in the season. Greens were particularly good. Tee boxes were a little scrappy. Overall good value for the money.

Great fun! It's been awhile since I played this course and was very pleasantly surprised!
