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.

Still needs work

The layout is great. Challenging with water on most holes. Surprised that the fairways and greens were in good shape. Some of the tee boxes need some work. Bunkers need some major overhaul. Overall the course is decent. Will play again

Confusing and Rocky Sand

The overall course was fine, but I was very upset about a couple of things.
1) The signs for each hole told you the hole number and the par. No where did it mention the yardage or have a picture of the layout of the hole (fairway/bunkers/water, etc). On some holes you literally had no idea if there was a dog-leg, water or bunkers unless you’ve previously played here.
2) There were no signs/indications on which way to drive to the next hole. I think we had to turn around 3 times because we drove to the 11th hole instead of the 5th hole. They only had faded arrows on the ground to “point” You in the right direction, but didn’t have any markings when you’d come to a fork in the road.
3) 95% of the sand traps we saw were littered with huge rocks. The other 5% of the traps looked completely dried up and was like hitting off dried up dirt.

I’ll personally never make the hour long drive to play here again.

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

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback!

Fortunately, we are due to receive a new fleet of golf carts any day now, which will greatly alleviate the aforementioned issues! We do hope you'll come out again soon and enjoy a round with us!
