Good Value

Solid course. Some short but challenging holes with tough greens. Pace of play could be better moderated by rangers.

Perfect October golf!

Let me state that my only complaint for golfing today was the pace of play. Me and my buddy, who like to play 2.5-3 hour golf got behind a 4-some group who wouldn’t allow us to pass. This being our first time here, we didn’t want to skip any holes. So our game ended up being just short of 4.5 hours but the conditions were perfect, the course layout was beautiful, and had one amazing game.

The course setup does not correspond to the published card. Only 2 sets of tees. Intermediate tees(senior tees) are not in place, even though most holes would allow it. Our group of 44 golfers(men and women; ages between 35 and 80) can not play a somewhat fair. team event from only 2 tee boxes. . We shared the course that day with another group. 25 to 45 year old men.They were disrespectful to the course, the game of golf and other golfers. We will not be back!!

Great Course at even better price

Went here Labor Day on way home. Payed a great price with a hot deal to play $18. Talked to some gentlemen who played with us that were locals and they said the the course allows Veterans to play for $15 dollars. Drinks and food are a great price and the course condition was great. The gentlemen said the course recently put a lot of work into redoing greens bunkers and cart paths! Over a 9.5/10 course!

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Tamaracks Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Awesome value

$22 for 18 with a cart. Wasn’t expecting much. Got there and the course was full on the front 9 with a league. We started on 10 and had the course to ourselves. I was amazed how great a shape the course was in. Greens were fast once they dried out and the course played pretty fair. Front 9 was still in great shape and had we not seen the league crew we wouldn’t have known they were there. Lots more water on the front 9 but still pretty fair. Will be going back.
