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.

Tamarack review / excellent value
My friends and I were very impressed with the conditions of the course. The greens rolled true and the course is quite challenging with a lot of water. We enjoyed our day and plan on returning again.
Very nice layout, back nine extremely challenging
Overall, a really good course and great value. A few improvements can be made. Tee boxes were in need of maintenance. Bunkers were left unraked by multiple players during the day. Adding a course ranger or assistant to monitor play during the day could improve players' responsibility to maintain playing conditions.
Better than average
Priced. Right. Well worth it.course well maintained
Too much sand!
Beautiful but deadly for we "18 handicappers!" I had one of those days when I wandered into too many bunkers and after a long winter, that part of the game clearly needs work.
good value for the price
Tee time was 3:08 on a Tuesday and we were basically alone. So our pace was as fast as we could play. Lots of good traps and water. Not much elevation variations or difficult rough. Right in a neighborhood so close proximity to streets and homes. Most fairways were straight. Said 6000+ yards but felt shorter. It was May 19th when I played but there were way too many dandelions.
Great value for $35
Course is in decent condition all things considered, but there were dandelions everywhere. That was a little off puting. Also we waited on every single shot. From the 1st tee, to the approach on 18. Slooooow.
Get a ranger and starter
I live near this course and wanted to enjoy a morning round as a single, no matter if I was paired up or not. I had an 845 tee time which wasn't honored. I got bumped to 853 which was not a problem. The pair I was grouped with never showed so I was asked to wait another 40 mins to tee off which I declined. I went off as a single. There was no starter, no ranger on the course to keep play at a decent pace. 4 hours into my round I was not even to the 15th tee box, with 3 foursomes ahead of me. This I find unacceptable. I guess I am spoiled by Catigny and Prairie Landing but I feel a round on a morning as a single should not take over 5 hours. I will not ever go back and play this course.
It HAD a good reputation
I was recommended this course by a few people and have heard of it quite a few times in the past as a nice course. Maybe courses like mill creek and prairie landing have spoiled me but this course was in pretty rough shape. No way to repair divots on the tea boxes so they are pretty hacked up. Cart path needs a lot of work in some places and there's a few street crossings to make to get around the course.
On the good side of things, the overall layout was nice, the greens on some holes were protected by bunkers which made an approach shot a challenge.
Overall, not a bad course but the way people have talked about it in the past made it seem it used to be a lot better. It certainly had the potential to be a really nice course.
Good value; slow play
Very slow play. 5 hours to play 18 holes and no rangers are enforcing pace of play. Great value for some tee times and course in decent shape. No ball washers on the course either which are desperately needed.
Golf
Early in the year but pretty good shape pace was great I will play again!
Almost good
Could be a great course (interesting holes/layout) except for the poor conditions. I've played Tamarack several times and find the Tee boxes, fairways and sand traps need a lot of maintenance. Lots of unrepaired divots in the fairways, ball marks on the greens and it seems like no one rakes the sand traps.
Also, bring your own drinking water. The on course facilities are lacking.
"UNKEPT"
The owners of this course must have given up on it. Pathetic
"UNKEPT"
Looks like the owners forgot about their investment.
Great value
For late fall, course was in fine shape. Greens were a challenge as usual.
Need to hit it straight here or wind up in hazard, ob, or in a fairway trap.
Need to hit it straight here or wind up in hazard, ob, or in a fairway trap. Greens were bumping and needed mowing. With not a flat lie on any green and lots of bumps, I found putting very diffiucult
Water Loves Company
First time I have played Tamarack and overall had a very good impression of the course. A LOT of water so consistency and straight shots are key to posting a good score. I am currently at about a 20 handicap and shot a little over my average score. Water shows up on about 15 of 18 holes. Prior to going I saw a lot of reviews regarding slow play and no rangers. However, the course was pretty open for a foursome to complete the round in about 4.5 hours. We frequently saw a ranger to and the beer cart was around practically whenever we needed it.

I was dissapointed in the condition of the course. I have played there several times over the years. This is the first time I have been there in about three years. The ballwashers had no water, waterpoints had no drinking water, and there was piles of brush all over the course that needs cleaned up.
All my previous rounds have been very good and course was very nice. I'm not sure why course is in bad shape now.
