Tamarack Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

Enjoyed the challenge with water every hole. Course was not crowded which was a plus.

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.

One of the better sub $50 course that I've played in the area. Nice and open, course was in great shape.

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
