Good value

Greens and a few spots were a little rough, but overall very pleased. Staff did a good job given all cyber current restrictions due to the virus. Pace of play was very good.

Better

Played four days before this and greens were very slow. Yesterday they were better. Tees and fairways are good, still strange playing as a two ball.

Not as bad as Reviewers Indicated

It appears they are trying. The greens were slow due to previous heavy sanding. Once the grass starts growing a roller and a nice cut would be ideal.

Fairways were in good condition. Greens were being seeded. Overall it appears Middlesex Cnty is becoming more attentive to the condition of the golf course.

One of the worst courses in NJ

Due to lack of basic landscaping maintenance, Tamarack West and East are in horrible playing condition and sadly are two of the worst county courses in NJ.

Listed are negatives: poor drainage, dirt bare spots, weeds, unplayable greens due to too much sand and bare spots, bunkers only have 1 inch of sand with compacted concrete like base.

The only positive is that the course has a good layout and can potentially be decent.

This lack of maintenance seems to be a trend with all 3 Middlesex County Courses (Tamarack West and East, and Meadows).

Sandy greens and bare fairways

Greens just punched and were full of sand. Ball wouldn't even roll to the hole. Fairways were ok in spots but had many bare spots. Temporary green on 1st which no one even told us was there. For half the price possibly worth play but at $43 to walk definitely not worth it.

Decent value, conditions can use some work

Decent round of golf for value. Pace of play was a little slow. We played the west course and the fairways on the front nine were in rough shape the back nine wasn't as bad, but still need work. The tee boxes and greens were in decent shape given the time of year, the first 3 greens were in bad shape but the rest were good .

This course was in poor condition

Most fairways were down to dirt in spots; some greens had crabgrass, causing poor putting conditions; some approaches were covered in pieces of dirt from aerating causing poor chipping conditions; tap and grill was not open as advertised after round; never go back again
