County course

This is my home course and big money has been spent. The tee boxes and greens are phenomenal but the fairways are lost from heat or overplay. They need to get the other side done soon to prevent this from happening. Also, reduce pricing due to one course open and it being banged up.

Complete Garbage

Labor Day played here with family for a holiday round. Greens were OK, Fairways were completely dead. It was like trying to hit a shot off of a parking lot. We were told the course was just renovated so were expecting much nicer conditions. Do not recommend.

Terrible

The course was just redone not long ago and the fairways were absolutely horrendous. The greens were beat up. The only nice thing about the course was the tee boxes

Terrible conditions

For a new course that is a year old, many fairways were unplayable with mud/ dried dirt spots. No comments on construction that is going on, can not change that. No excuse for how poorly the course was being maintained.

A million dollars?

Middlesex county spent millions of dollars on the renovation of this course and in 8 months it has been destroyed. Being a middlesex county resident, I played this course from December to June with no issues. Actually it was in immaculate shape. How does something like this happen in 2 months?

Ehhh

Course is okay
Some fairways are pretty beat up (lots of dirt patches)
Layout is pretty simple and straight forward
Not really any cool holes
Range is closed during the week (that’s lame)
Course is not worth $72 should be $50
They have a grill going and hott chicks working there so that’s a plus
Nice little chipping area and putting green too

Very Poor Course Quality

Played the west course numerous times and was excited to finally get a chance to play the east course. Disappointed is an absolute understatement. Quality of the course was horrible especially given its very recent renovation.

Disappointed

Very disappointed in the overall condition of the fairways. On a lot of the holes, there was no grass in the fairways, only mud and dirt.

This course is destroyed

I don't understand how after spending millions of dollars to renovate this course the management company has let it collapse like that. It was in good shape at the beginning of the season but, thanks to a combination of mowing the fairways way too short and people not respecting cart rules, it's now in a dismal condition. What a shame...

Some Things Never Change

In one word, Yikes! Played here many times many years ago. The tee boxes and traps are better, but the fairways and greens are chewed up. They put some effort into a renovation but only to see it slip into disrepair once again. WAY OVERPRICED, and you do not get what you payed for. So many better courses to choose from for less money.
Should not ever be a dollar over $50 with cart. Sorry for being harsh, but I was really disappointed.

Worst Course I Ever Played

This place is a dogtrack. The fairways are atrocious. Mostly dirt and very green. The greens have so much sand your balls kicks up sand behind it. Won't play this again until it's fixed.

There is a lot of construction going on so maybe will get better but won't be for couple years.

Better than before but...

I started playing this course at the beginning of the season. The course was in great shape and the renovations were really on display. Unfortunately, things have declined substantially since then. To be fair, the diluvian rains we've had in the past weeks have a lot to do with it. However, it's not the all story. People not respecting the cart paths only or the 90 degree rule are also to blame. So here are two suggestions: when it rains more than one inch, just make the course walking only, at least for a day or two. Rutgers does it and their course remains in great shape year round. Second, don't mow the fairways too short. That's definitely been the case and there are now some ugly bald spots. If something is not done soon to correct the situation, I'm afraid the course's conditions are only going to worsen.

DONT PLAY HERE

It’s a shame how much money they sank into this course to make us beautiful last season, and only a couple months later it is completely trashed and unplayable. It went from pristine fall of 2022 to unplayable in summer of 2023. When I asked the starter why the course was in such bad shape he told me because it’s been storming here the last few days, meanwhile I live a half mile away from the course and it hasn’t rained in over a week. Please save your money and play somewhere else, ANYWHERE else, you’ll thank me later.

County Course

I have been playing Tamarack for over 20 years and the upgrades are well noted. However, during the week the price should be much cheaper especially in county with a card. Also, I understand the aeration of the greens but sweep off the excess sand. When you putted the ball it was like a snowball when it got near the hole and you had to smash the ball to get it to the hole.
