Played a easy 4 hr round. No stress shot 80 with a putt here or there it might of been a little lower. The 2 girls in the beverage cart were great. Every one of the staff I encountered was very friendly. Will definitely play again.

Were the greens aerated when you played?

Greens

We were never informed that the greens were being aerated before we booked this round. We would have never booked this course. The green were unplayable. At one point I went to putt the ball ended up hitting sand, stopping suddenly and just spun in its spot. I attached a photo of one of the greens which was one of the better greens but you can see for yourself it was impossible. I am looking for some kind of refund being every other course will inform you of aerated green or even lowering the price of greens are being aerated.

Long day on the course

The place was packed and so we ended up waiting 30 minutes past our tee time to tee off. The course was in average shape with a few wet spots and several dead spots, but for the price, it was better than expected. We were on the course for 5 hours because it was moving so slow.

Nice course but slow play

First time playing Tamarack. Nice course and good conditions. I am told new management has made significant improvements in the conditions. Nice open layout and the greens rolled well. Not a bad value for the money if you judge on the course alone. However, the place of play is ridiculous. We arrived for a 2:52 tee time and we were told that they were backed up over a half hour. The place looked like Six Flags Great Adventure. We finally tee’d off after 3:30 and proceeded to play a five hour round. We barely made it in before dark and groups were stacked up back to back to back behind us. This course is extremely overbooked. Management should take a trip down to Mercer Oaks (Mercer County) to see how a 36 hole County course should be run. Won’t be back for the simple fact that I don’t have over 6 hours available to spend at the golf course.

Dog track, cow pasture fairways greens okay

Fairways were rock hard, no grass in spots. Apparently there isn’t sprinklers in the fairways so they get rock hard quickly and the grass dies. The greens were okay, of course there was a fair share of ball marks not repaired by golfers. At least I did see sprinklers around the greens. The pace of play is awful and another thing is they allow way too many people on, the pace of play was glacial. I wouldn’t play here again.

Future gem

I've played Tammarack for many years. It's a municipal 36 hole course. That in itself makes it unique. New golf professional management

has really made an impact. You can see tremendous work being done. Its look has changed . The greens have definitely gotten better. Not as good as Morris county courses, like Berkshire. However, the greens roll alot better. Fairways are much better also. Tee boxes are being worked on. I think within a year or two , Tammarack will really shine.

Weekend rounds still take about 5 hrs. They need to get a handle on that. Overall a "good" course and value.

5 hour round

I played this course twice the first time was a four hour and 45 in around I thought maybe was just busy for the day so I gave the course a second chance and it got even worse it was a five hour round I should have known something was up when the teetimes they were offered were only eight minutes apart so that means the course is definitely over crowded no rangers they don’t seem to care and the person I was playing with said five our rounds are the norm so I guess they just don’t care there you’ll never see a penny of my money there again

Great day with my boys

Staff as usual was friendly however once again the course seemed over booked. Course was in pretty good shape and the greens were fast. A little disappointed by the pace of play but any time out with my sons is a great day

Nice course, slow pace

We had to wait 30 minutes to tee off due to no carts. First Tee we were 3 grouping. During the COVID time table of every 16 minutes for tee off, it doesn’t apply here. Course lay out and condition was good.

Great pandemic course!

The course is in great shape, greens are pretty good. Only complaint I had was that I was sandwiched between two foursomes for some reason? I had to play alone and wait a good 5-10 minutes in between most holes. Only complaint I had though. Keep up the good work

THEY OVERBOOK TEE TIMES 2 HOUR DELAY

My tee time was 11:48 did not get out until 1:40. Manager said if we wanted to leave we could get a rain check but no refund. They were also sold out of water and Gatorade. Poorly managed establishment would not go back.

Complete 180

I played this course last year and it was in terrible condition the greens were in bad shape, fairways were burnt out, and the tee box’s pretty much had no grass. They put in a ton of work and the course is in phenomenal condition compared to last year. Great value for the course. Pace of play was a little slow but otherwise I would say everything else was great overall I would recommend and I will be playing here again.
