Tamarack Golf Club

I had two tee times on September 7 at 7:08 & 7:15 (Baker & Powell). No starter on the first tee box. We had to go off the 10th tee box. No ranger on course to keep groups playing at a good pace. My group was behind a father and daughter twosome, and he was coaching her and hitting multiple balls. Our Saturday round of golf was over 5 hours, will not play this course anytime soon. This is unfortunate because we normally have twelve guys playing somewhere every Saturday morning.

We played as a 3 some, with nobody in front of us for the first 3 holes! Caught a 2 some that was held up by a 5 some, after 2 holes of being held up we called for a ranger that never showed up.. waited and played the next 2 holes called for the ranger again didn't show up. At the turn the 5 some stopped the 2 played thru, so we did too. Took 2 hours and 45 min. to play the front 9! Disappointed in the course for not getting the ranger out!

Course played very well. We played nine holes and we"re given the opportunity to choose either front nine or back nine.

Yesterday was my first round at Tamarack and I found the overall experience to be very good. The course is in incredible condition for the end of August, with little, if any, dry areas. The greens are very well maintained and rolled fast and true. The negative I had heard from others held true: The fairways are narrow, and out-of-bounds areas are extremely close on many holes. If I was just ten feet off left side of the fairway, I was in someone's backyard (OB). Water comes in to play on most holes, but that should be expected. The proximity of houses and OB areas is not. Also, my tee time was for 7:23 and I was the only golfer on the course. To my dismay, I had to wait until the sprinklers finally turned off at 7:30 to tee off, or I could "play through them" as suggested by the proshop attendant. The heavy use of sprinklers made the first five holes extremely wet, soggy, and everything was covered with freshly-cut grass. Once I got past the 6th hole, conditions dried out and the remainder of the round was very enjoyable. I will return to play again, but will probably try to avoid the first tee times to stay clear of sprinklers and waterlogged fairways.

havn't played there in a number of years...used to be in great condition....very poor right now...our cart even ran out of electricity on the 5th hole ...had to call for a new one...would not recommend this place....the beverage cart girl was the only one there to service the whole course the whole day....she was great but couldn't around often enough to service the place

Tees were in terrible shape. Greens and fairways were pretty bad as well. Pace of play was unbearable. Carts have seen better days. My wife and I agreed we'll never go back, even if the round is free. Sorry, but too many other good offerings in the area to waste our time with this course.

Course had a few areas that needed some work; the water coolers need to be cleaned as the water tastes like bilge water from the sewers. Some tough holes

There are some bare ground on fairways and rough place.
Please repair them ASAP. This course is very good place to maintain quality of golf.
Sometimes the green speed became so slow. I understand I played early morning so moisture made them. I don't mean the speed of green for this play. I played there many times this year during some sunny afternoon and I felt the speed of green was too slow sometimes. Please maintain the same grass cut on the green.
I personally prefer this course and very challenge!!!!!

Nice course but very poorly maintained. Desperate need of watering. Overall I enjoyed my round

Course is fairly wide open but has some holes where placement is a must. Lots of water and sand but generally flat. Sand was plenty soft so you had a fighting chance to get the ball close. Many of the greens are guarded by traps, some on all sides. Pace of play was good for a Sunday midday, no marshals were seen but none were needed. Yardage markers are pretty easy to spot but most sprinkler heads that I saw did not have distances.

Tamarack was enjoyable to play. The presence of water on each hole and numerous large bunkers made shot selection interesting, and made for a challenging round. Overall, nice experience and a good value for the money.

nice course, good value for the monet very challenging from the tip,

In areas around the greens divots were not being attended and sand traps were not being turned regularly. The tee boxes were not being sufficiently watered. A good day but I hate to see a good golf course being so neglecte.

I have played Tamarack several times in the past and had found it to be a decent course to get on. However, this past time (08/2013), the course was chewed up with divots all over the fairways and ball marks tearing up the greens. More maintenance is desperately needed. They sent groups of 3, then 2, then 2, then 1, then 2, then 3 out, which slowed the pace of play. Don't expect a ranger to be out there to hurry it up, because there isn't one. However, the bunkers and water placement provide a decent challenge to amateur golfers. For the price I got on GolfNow (25$ riding for 18), it was a deal that couldn't be passed up. I just expected a Naperville golf course to be a little better overall.

Very fun course - 600 yd par 5, lots of doglegs, sand and water. Greens were pretty true, rough was a little rough, bunkers well maintained too.

Tee times were every 7 min which led to a backlog right off the bat. It took over 30 min from teeing off first hole to tee off of 2nd. Every hole was a wait. Round was a little over 5hrs. The course itself was ok. Fairways were a little soft and greens slow but they were consistent from hole to hole. Lots of sand and water make accuracy critical.

Each green always seemed to be surrounded by sand traps...So your short game better be on. The slopes are also challenging along with the pin placement.

Too many birds poops at the tee box. Flies all over the course. Word of advise, Don't use the Portable bathrooms.

The carts were terrible. Electric carts that went 2 mph on the grass.. Made the whole round seem bad.. But it is a good course

we loved the challanging holes and layot, will play again.
