Tamarack Golf Club

I have played Tamarack in the past and enjoyed the course. From the onset, this time was different - little staff, excruciating slow play - we waited on every shot, and no rangers on the course to help play along (we had five groups on the 10th hole at one time - all in view from the clubhouse). The course was in ok shape - there were areas of very wet conditions and the sand traps were virtually unplayable for all levels of players. Additionally, there was no drinking water on the course which in the hot conditions was just unacceptable. The halfway house - if you can call it that - was little more than a bar. Go elsewhere where you will get more for your money.

As much water as there is on this course to potential hit into, the rough could definitely use some. Benches need to be placed on some of the holes for golfers who choose walk so that they have a place to sit down every once in awhile.

We showed up to find out that the course had "double booked several morning tee times including ours. They did accommodate us by letting us go off the back nine first. It was very dis-organized for a Sunday morning start.

No drinking water available. 1 cart lady that makes an appearance once every nine holes. On a hot day, pretty much says it all

was a great value to play, course in good shape, greens good.

2 star rating is due to very slow play on a Wednesday!

Tamarack is a good public course for the price. The fairways and greens were in good shape and it presented a challenge from the gold (second from the back) tees. This course has a lot of water and is pretty tight off the tees. Also, some blind approach shots and multi-tiered greens contribute to the level of difficulty. Overall, definitely worth the trip from Chicago.

greens need to be more consistent and were a little slow. Great value for the money

i have played lots of course, these year, i average 3 rounds a week. needs to be sprayed for the flying bugs. i play in league at 4 pm and never have as many bugs

Really nice course, well maintained. Lots of water hazards which makes it challenging.

Staff was freindly and the rate was very reasonable. Challenging course in terms of length and design. Several greens are heavily guarded by bunkers/hazards. Tee boxes were fair condition.

Overall a good experience for the price.

Tricked up from last time I played it with water, water everywhere-but none or little to drink.

Water on every hole but easily avoided, did not put in the water once, and I am not an exceptional golfer

Fun course, very well maintained fairways and bunkers. Challenging teebox locations from the back.

The course is difficult for the average golfer. But they have a lot of deals so you really aren't disappointed. There usually isn't a ranger so play can slow down at tines. But usually those going to this course are decent players. The course is just up the street from me so I like to go at least once a month. I usually pay around $35 yo $40 which is the cheapest in this area.

Played the course many times. Water in play on most holes. Numerous traps protecting each green. Greens well maintained. Watered fairways. Rough is not thick. Electric carts. No rangers so pace can be slow. They have a lot of outings during the summer so call before booking. I was right behind an outing took 5.5 hours to play.

Lots of water and some narrow fairways make this course challenging. Though located in a subdivision, the homes are far enough away to make it seem still rustic.

Had to wait for a large outing before teeing off, but it worked out as they let us go to Hole 10.

Good well maintained course. Course is playable and relatively easy.

Greens and Fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes could have used some more care. Staff was friendly and would definitely recommend to others. Will be back before the golf season is over.
