Not bad

The fairways were in decent condition. The greens still need some help... not terrible but not great. Very hard and fast. Only one main issue and an easily resolved one....put some water in the ball cleaners!! But we enjoyed playing cause it wasn't busy and had plenty of time to play and talk.

The Tamaracks is awesome!

Definitely go through GolfNow! and go for the hotdeal! We found the hot deal when we were up north looking to play somewhere. We got 18 holes with a cart for 2 people for 27 bucks total!! You can't beat that. The course is taken care of and the course has a nice layout. Even for full price, it's still a great course. I try to play this every time I drive up north. Looking at all of the courses around this area, you can't beat The Tamaracks for the price and what you get.

Nice course, Not so nice Staff

I will NOT be returning to this course or recommending it to anyone. I felt like I wasn't welcomed just for the fact that I booked on Golfnow. If they do not like the Golfnow golfers maybe they should participate in the program. They will not work with you if you arrive early to possibly get off earlier or with another group. Very unreceptive I thought from both the lady and man inside the clubhouse, especially her. I don't know if she was the owner or not but would not go back in there in to buy anything from them or any food service as I just wanted to leave right away. I thought about going in there after the round but didn't as I was still upset about the initial encounter with them. No more Tamarack for me.

Well worth the money

A bit off the beaten path and not a pristine course but.... fun course to play, in nice shape and layout, friendly staff and they did not mind if we played a few extra holes after our round since it was a bit slow. It's not some country club but just a solid, fun course to play that offers some challenges and nice to look at. I give it a 5 just because it was cheap, enjoyable, good shape and very playable at 25. bucks for 18 w/cart.

We have played this course before and it still gives a fun round. It has it's challenges but very fun. Some of the Par 5's are reachable and the women's tees are player friendly. The staff was very nice. Definitely will play it again.

Interesting course.

Interesting course. Pretty hilly & uneven making it difficult for seniors. Had to walk a lot. It was pretty challenging for us but we had a good time.

Fun time

We had a ball, the course was busy but the pace of play was good and course was in great shape. Tip keep the ball in the fairway too many of my shots I tried to over hit and ended up with a poor or nearly impossible next shot.
