Over booked!

Course itself wasn’t bad. We pulled up to the first tee and had 6 carts ahead of us waiting…this pretty much slowed the entire day. After finishing g every hole we were waiting to tee off. They clearly over book their tee times.

Dissatisfied

Played this course since I was a kid. More or less a knock around course not to challenging compared to Anbriar or Gateway etc.. But today we were rushed on pace of play even though we played 9 in 2 and 18 in 4 right on average. Fairways were nice but bunkers and greens looked like Cresthaven back in the day in Belleville. Way too expensive for the overall experience. Play the Legay way nicer greens and staff or Acorns same price better course and less over privileged a!?’bbbnbbb .Golf is supposed to be fun not stressful .Had to make this review because I’m just so disgusted with arrogant people.

Pete Dye might cry

Drove an hour to play this Pete Dye design and was disappointed. Crabgrass was abundant on tee boxes. Lots of dead areas through the fairways and near cart paths. Sand traps were like dirt. Course layout lacked creativity with the exception of the last two holes.

Was very pleased with this round. Course is perfect challenge for my game... Not too tight, but tree lined fairway still can punish poor tee shots. Greens were very good, definitely wiil return...

Father’s Day Round

Terrible tee sheet management. They knew it would be crowded on a day like Father’s Day and still didn’t put spacer tee times on the tee sheet. Played behind a 7-some who had never played golf in their lives and the “Marshall” didn’t do anything about it. Pace of place was terrible, took just over 3 hours to play 9 holes and we even skipped a hole. I asked for a rain check the back nine but I don’t know if I even want to go back.

Tamarack 5-Star Treat

Play this early Pete Dye if you can! Staff and course are great, stop by19th hole for quick friendly food and drink service. Tees are shaping up nicely, fairways are lush, greens have Dyeabolical breaks, and don’t hit into the rough, it’ll penalize you. Couple driveable par 4s on the back nine. Only drawback is driving range is irons only, ~200yards max.

Good course for beginner and intermediate golfers

The course was very well kept. The reason for the title is due to very few hazards. Water rarely comes into play. I consider myself an ok golfer, so it didn’t bother me at all that the course had few hazards. However, lower handicap golfers may find it on the easy side. The pace of play was ok considering it was the weekend. The staff was super friendly and did a good job keeping the pace of play moving without being rude about reminding people to maintain pace of play.

Fun 18 hole track

Only problem I had when I bought this teetime for 2pm ish on Golfnow there was no exclusion that I had to be off the course by 5:15 that's the first thing that the clubhouse guy told me I had no idea I plan on playing 18 hoes which would put me out there right around 6 PM it was somewhat disenchanting I don't blame the course I'm sure there was a disconnect between Golfnow
