Pace of play issues
Had a 1:20 tee time, but teed off at 1:35. The second hole was so backed up we didn’t tee off on 2 until 2:20. The front 9 was the slowest I can remember playing. The back 9 sped up a bit but the round ended up taking over 6 hours.
Awesome Greens
Greens perfect, fairways lean and tee boxes looked like a mine field!
close to home
course in terrible condition from teebox to the green!
Easy walk on a fun and flat course
Was in the area, so I snuck out to play a solo round. The weather was good for early March so I called ahead to get a tee time.
I arrived early and the very nice lady that was in the clubhouse said if I was walking, I could go right out. That was big! There were two groups waiting for people to arrive, so I got out ahead of them.
The course itself is flat without a lot of elevation changes. On the front nine, there are a lot of houses being built so be ready for some noise there.
It is a fun and relatively easy course. For early March, it was in solid condition but a little windy. Greens were better than expected. Pace of play was great. Saw plenty of golfers but I didn't catch up to the twosome ahead of me until 17.
Not an upscale course at all but a good, solid one. Would like to play it again in the summertime when the course greens up even more.
Great Course... and Conditions To Match
If you live in the St. Louis area and are looking to play a course where the greens run fast and true, check out Tamarack in Shiloh, IL. It is worth the drive from the city to play this course. The course is in amazing shape and there are many courses that charge way way more and are in less better shape in the local area.
They have a great putting green for warming up and the best part is that they roll as true and fast as the actual greens you will be playing. They have a nice driving range.
The burgers and fries are awesome too! When playing holes 9, 10, and 11 - if you have a colored ball - change to it, because you will be playing next to the driving range and white balls will be a challenge to find if you happen to go left or right of the fairway, just something to consider.
When we played the other day, the pins were in some pretty heinous positions; which required some great approach shots, but the other thing it did was truly provide a challenge. Even though the greens have some serious character it is not to the point where they are unplayable or cause too much of a challenge to make the course no fun to play.
If you haven't played Tamarack lately... come and check it out, you will not be sorry.
