Tamarack Golf Club is a course that will test your shot-making skills yet it is still player-friendly enough to appeal to all skill levels. Pete Dye designed the course with tight, sculpted fairways and undulating greens that come in a range of sizes. The layout offers plenty of challenges with water or sand coming into play on every hole. The golf course will test your accuracy but it is not as difficult as many other Dye designs. The third is one of the toughest holes. A severely undulating green protected by deep bunkers makes placement vitally important on this par 3. The 15th is one of the back nine's more challenging holes. It presents an interesting risk-reward opportunity with a myriad of teeing options. Water lines the entire right side and the two-tiered green is flanked with bunkers to the front and right.

Bunkers not racked

Every bunker was like hitting off a dirt pile. Some of t boxes looked like they were diseased, and of course Canada Geese everywhere, these birds are dirty and disgusting, need to be hearded up and slaughtered

Poor pace of play

The extremely poor pace this particular day was due to them having a large “outing” go off right before us. They should have anticipated delays from this - and left extra spacing after the outing.

Confusion due to lack of carts

We played on Father’s Day which is a busy day. Usually a course has enough golf carts to meet the high demand. However, Tamarack did not have enough carts on that day. Consequently the starters were running back and forth trying to find carts backing up tee times and causing confusion at the first tee. On the course, play was slow which caused our group too terminate our round early to get to an afternoon cook out

Surprisingly bad conditions

The greens were in terrible shape and sandy. The sand traps have almost no sand in them and we’re terrible to play out of. The area is in a bit of a drought but I expect more out of a course like Tamarack.

Nice course, nice clubhouse. Fair pace . Only thing unsatisfactory was the fact that they had cart shortage due to break downs . Put us 15 to 20 behind and one cart only lasted 9 holes.

This course was badly maintain

Its shame because this course for many years was one of the better courses in the area, info on holes layout and yardage was non-existent, the courses yardage markers were not provided leaving one to guess at distance to the hole. No distance/yardage monitor provided in cart. The sand bunker had weeds growing in them, poorly maintained.
