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.

This course needs work

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.

Tamarack golf club

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

Need repair

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!!!!!

Play for position on some holes

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.

Nice, challenging course.

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.

It;s a challenging course but the general mainenance of the couse was lacking.t

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.

Get it on the cheap if you can

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.

Great course, challenging, well kept, good pace.

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.

Too slow of a pace.

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.

The course was very challenging and well kept!

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.

An interesting course

The updated course has introduced unnecessary sand traps which takes away from the fun of the game. The sandtrap on hole 17 is definately not necessary.

Overall $30.00 for twilight felt like I overpaid. No starter, groups replaying holes, No starter; golfers not grouped to maintain pace of play.

10.4 HCP. Course not maintained. Tee Box & Greens in poor condition. Fairways not maitained well, but not as long as first cut, but close. Bunkers have large rocks bigger than golfballs. Overall disappointed. Dozens of other options to enjoy a round. Course has potential to be amazing if maintained. Hoping some improvements are made to bring me back.

Great coarse, but bring enough balls. Lots of Sloped fairways to water.

Fun and beautifully set up coarse. Pace of play was fast on a Wed. 1st time here, so not aware of the many sloped fairways to water hazards, but it was a fair set up. Next time have a better idea of safe landing area's. Par 3's were challenging, but fair. Fairways were in pristine shape. Great for golfers who take huge divots. Soft and supple. Overall, a terrific first time experience. Would go again in a heartbeat. Only downside for me is the drive. 43 miles one way.
