East at Tamarack Golf Course

Pace of play gets really slow due to a lot of novice golfers. About once an hour some staffer will drive the course on a cart, giving the illusion of being a marshall checking on pace of play - but I've never seen one actually stop or interact with slow groups. It's almost as though they drive a loop on the course just to check a box - many are looking at their phones while doing so.

This course was closed for 2 years for renovations and then charge people $75 to play and after alll that it was in TERRIBLE SHAPE. The fairways where horrible and had flags and roped off areas on almost every hole. I don’t understand what they did for the 2 years it was closed. Don’t waste your money there are a ton of other course that you can go to for less money that are 100% nicer

Greens were horrible. Almost like they just aeratored the greens.

The foursome in front of us would ultra slow and took multiple shots which infuriated me when waiting diligently for our turn. The front nine was so bad the two some I was paired with left after nine. Leaving myself behind a bunch of slow and not very aware golfers.

So I get a complaint that I cut the line from golfers behind from the golf attendant. I tell him my start time and that the two some dropped off because of pace of play. I ask him what is his job and before he answers I tell him how about instead of harassing me because of a couple dingbats thought I cut in front them, how about you do your job and tell the foursome in front of me to move it along and stop taking extra shots. The kid was dumbfounded. Don’t plan on playing anytime soon. Left after playing 13. Frustrating.

I'm not sure how a newly renovated course has ZERO grass in the fairways. And they still have the audacity to charge $80. This place makes Old Orchard look like Augusta National.

This is my home course and big money has been spent. The tee boxes and greens are phenomenal but the fairways are lost from heat or overplay. They need to get the other side done soon to prevent this from happening. Also, reduce pricing due to one course open and it being banged up.

Labor Day played here with family for a holiday round. Greens were OK, Fairways were completely dead. It was like trying to hit a shot off of a parking lot. We were told the course was just renovated so were expecting much nicer conditions. Do not recommend.

The course was just redone not long ago and the fairways were absolutely horrendous. The greens were beat up. The only nice thing about the course was the tee boxes

For a new course that is a year old, many fairways were unplayable with mud/ dried dirt spots. No comments on construction that is going on, can not change that. No excuse for how poorly the course was being maintained.

Played the west course numerous times and was excited to finally get a chance to play the east course. Disappointed is an absolute understatement. Quality of the course was horrible especially given its very recent renovation.

Middlesex county spent millions of dollars on the renovation of this course and in 8 months it has been destroyed. Being a middlesex county resident, I played this course from December to June with no issues. Actually it was in immaculate shape. How does something like this happen in 2 months?

I saw bad reviews but couldn’t believe a course could be that bad, fairways on every hole was in shambles, marked for renovations but we did not know this before booking. The greens were actually immaculate for the most part, couple of dead spots but fairways were unplayable

Course is okay

Some fairways are pretty beat up (lots of dirt patches)

Layout is pretty simple and straight forward

Not really any cool holes

Range is closed during the week (that’s lame)

Course is not worth $72 should be $50

They have a grill going and hott chicks working there so that’s a plus

Nice little chipping area and putting green too

It didn’t take long for this course to go downhill. Played there about 3-4x since April and was impressed with the renovation. Nicely manicured tee boxes fairways and greens. Now, it looks like they’re neglecting them and focusing only on the renovation of the west course. Tons of dirt patches in all of the fairways. Unrepaired ball marks on all of the greens. They were even doing construction on 9 and 10 in the middle of the fairway, aerating fairways and laying down fertilizer. Seriously unacceptable. Should’ve shut the course down for the day with all of this going on. And to boot, no notice given upon booking, no notice from the pro shop and no notice from the starter. Such a fun little course quickly turned into a dump. Very very disappointing
