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.

Challenging course - not always fair.

Nice design with a level of easy to very difficult holes for the average golfer. Water hazards come into play on more than half the holes and on some, even a hit in the center of the fairway can end up in the water due to the slope of the fairway towards the water hazzard. A written map or GPS system with "Pro Tips" would benefit the average golfer. Many holes reward the golfer if you choose shot location over distance.

Great course to play with buddies

This is one of the most rewarding courses out south west suburbs. Every shot forces you to think. Those that are long will definately enjoy the 2nd or 3rd shot into the green.
Keep up the good work and see you next season!

Challenging Greens

Very nice course. However, some bunkers were under construction. Course has generally held up well given the hot, dry summer conditions. Course layout is more challenging than typical. Green and pin placements are very challenging. Good price for quality and location.
