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.

Pleasantly Surprised

With this being my first round of the year, I did not have the highest of expectations. While the course was damp, and only 9 holes were open, I thoroughly enjoyed my round.

I had a great conversation with the young lady in the Pro Shop, and she said that the club is under new management. I look forward to returning!

Tough course, but not impossible

Water in play on most holes, and narrow fairways make for a pretty challenging course. Greens are pretty decent, mid fall season, some holes today were cut in a very challenging spot. Bunkers are my really only issue with course. Some are ok, but a couple were just abandoned all together it seemed like.

Horrible Unacceptable Bunkers

Understand that the bunkers are a huge part of this course as there are bunkers everywhere. There is no sand left in any bunkers, most are overgrown with weeds and rest is no different than hitting out of concrete. Don’t encourage golf courses like this by paying them for tee times. Find another place, this course is robbery with deplorable bunker conditions.

Really good coarse

Everything was really good at this coarse. The only bad part is some of the bunkers. Most where is good shape but there were a few that haven’t been cared for awhile. Overall though it was a very enjoyable coarse

This course has the worst pace of play of all time. Don’t bother playing out here unless you enjoy waiting 5 minutes for every single shot. No rangers out there it’s unbearable

Never liked course and still don't

Never cared much for this place, haven't played it since before covid because they raised Sunday early pricing to $60. It was barely worth the $30 I paid yesterday. Course was in horrible shape, pace of play was terrible and no ranger to move people along. I won't be back regardless of price. Well maybe if it was $15....

Due to the weather , we were the only ones on the course at 11:40 am. It’s a beautiful course but full of challenges. The layout on the scoreboard was very small and useless but the fairways were clearly marked at 200 yards and every 50 yards to the green I would recommend a round here to all my friends and go back often.
