Tamarack (Alternate Tees) at Tamarack Golf Club

Tamarack Golf Club sits in Limon, a small town on Colorado's eastern plains roughly sixty miles east of Denver along Interstate 70. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the high plains region—relatively flat to gently rolling grassland at an elevation above 5,000 feet, where wind is a persistent factor in play. Architect Henry Hughes designed the layout, working within the constraints and opportunities of this prairie environment where water features and tree cover are typically limited compared to mountain courses farther west.

The routing at Tamarack reflects the practical realities of golf course design in this part of Colorado, where the landscape offers wide views but fewer dramatic elevation changes than courses in the Front Range foothills. The alternate tees provide different yardages and angles of approach, allowing the course to accommodate various skill levels and adjust playing difficulty based on conditions. Wind direction and intensity often dictate strategy more than distance alone on the eastern plains, making club selection and shot trajectory critical considerations.

Limon serves as a regional hub for Lincoln County, and Tamarack functions as the primary golf facility for the local community and travelers passing through on the interstate corridor. The course offers a straightforward golf experience shaped by its high plains setting, where the openness of the landscape and the elements define the character of play more than elaborate design features or extensive landscaping.
