Not Good

Played on a rather humid Sunday.

Course has crabgrass and deadspots on and around the greens.

Traps were okay.

Fairways were pretty beatup.

Almost none of the tee boxes were level from what I recall.

Wish the place was better maintained since the layout is pretty good in my opinion.

Not worth paying more than 30-40 bucks given the condition.

Course needs a marshal. Round too 4 1/2 hours

I like this course -- even though it's a bit expensive -- but I had an awfully slow round because the group ahead of us was very slow and there were no officials to be found to tell them to speed things up . On a weekend.

We asked the guy who was filling up the water dispensers to find a marshal, but he said he didn't think they had one.

We hesitated to approach the group ourselves because one of the players was constantly scream and throwing his clubs after bad shots. He even slammed a pin into the green in frustration at one point.

I was actually playing OK, but this took a lot of the fun out of it.

Thanks for your feedback and review. We apologize for this inconvenience. While it's our goal to always have marshals on the course during our busy times, we understand that it can be frustrating if you don't see one. Please don't hesitate to call the golf shop if slow play or you experience poor golfer etiquette. We will happily send our management team out to better understand the situation. Thank you for your business and we hope to see you back again soon. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at info.tamarack@middlesexcountygolf.com.

Good County course

We choose this course so we could use the golf boards that they advertised. Went to the course the night prior to make sure they were available and were told no problem. The next morning we were told everything from they are being used to putting new tires on to not charged. Clearly lies but we had fun anyway.

Stay in the short grass

The crabgrass is brutal. Thick. And darn near impossible to hit from. Other day that it was well paced.

Hackin' at the Rack

Before you come to play here you have to remember that you are playing a PUBLIC course and could be subject to a 5 hour round. Nothing can be done. The rangers are not coming out to hurry people along. Right now, the course is in the best shape since I began playing here 20 years ago.They actually closed the West course down for most of the winter and put up temps for the rest of it to let the course recover from the season which they've never done. They've taken down a bunch of trees to open it up, put actual golf sand in the bunkers, new mats on the range. The greens aren't perfect(remember it's a PUBLIC course) but for the most part, they hold and roll just fine. The West gets the most play but the East while somewhat less challenging is a solid course also.

Go Elsewhere

Tamarack an experiment in how to run a golf course. This is a county course that has never been dealt with properly in the last 20 years. Played Friday after noon around 3 starter left for the day so no since booking a time. One guy was behind the counter who was clueless. The course was soaked with no restrictions so the carts turned it into an ATV track. It’s obvious this has been going on for days. The crabgrass was all over the place and the fairways only fair. Best way to use Tamarack goto the driving range and play elsewhere.
