THE WORST PACE EVER

By far the worst pace of play I’ve ever experienced. It took over 3 hours just to finish the front 9 because we were stuck waiting on a completely unprepared group ahead—taking multiple tee shots, duffing around, and wasting time with zero awareness. Where was the ranger during all of this? What are you even doing?

Course was good

Only suggestion is someone should drive around and encourage players that are standing around drinking to play faster if another group is waiting behind.

Slow pace of play

Thid was my first time playing Tamarack. The front 9 is in good shape for this time of year. Unfortunately I can't comment on the back 9 because the pace of play was so bad that I had to leave after 9. It took just over 3 hours to play 9 holes! l I would never play here again if this was the typical pace of play.. Since it was a weekday afternoon in March they might not have had a ranger to move things along. I'll give Tamarack East a mulligan and try it again. Hopefully I'll get to play all 18 next time.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We appreciate your feedback on the pace of play, and we're sorry it impacted your visit. This time of the year we have high schools in the afternoon and that can, on occasion make the pace slower. We’re glad to hear you’re willing to give Tamarack another shot and hope your next round is much smoother!

Great course, only able to play the back 9

Love this course. But it would have been nice if GolfNow would have indicated that the front 9 was closed due to aeration.I had some guest's for the golf day, and we would have went to another course had we known the front 9 was closed. But still a great course, just need better communication of closed portions of course when booking on the app.

East

First time playing here , scored a 40$ hot deal with cart for a 1:00 tee time on a Thursday… wasn’t expecting much but course was in very nice shape with a lot of holes where you really need to plan out your shots either position off the tee or distance to not hit water or to have the right shot in… very fun layout. Will return in spring to try the West course that’s being renovated … overall a great day out there !

Nice course

Course was in great condition with maintenance crews present all over the place. The only thing I saw which I didn’t like were individuals playing random holes. Watched this happen on two separate occasions, which throws off the pace of play. Otherwise, great experience
