About this course
Tamarack Country Club, nestled in the rolling landscape of Greenwich, Connecticut, is where understated elegance meets a classic, member-centric experience. This is a course where the echoes of laughter from generations past resonate stronger than any tournament roar. Originally designed in the early 1920s, Tamarack embodies the spirit of the Golden Age, its generous fairways and subtly contoured greens shaped by a terrain of gentle hills and mature trees. While it doesn’t punish wayward drives, the course favors thoughtful play, with nuanced approaches and a keen understanding of the subtle breaks crucial to success. Famed architect, Charles Banks, originally laid out the course, and was renovated by Brian Silva in 2006. Tamarack's charm isn't found in championship banners, but rather, in the bonds forged over post-round drinks on the terrace. Its relative obscurity allows a certain freedom—a place where golf is enjoyed for the sheer love of the game, and where the club's legendary clam bar serves as a cherished 19th hole for generations.

Getting there
Most visitors to Tamarack Country Club arrive through Westchester County Airport in White Plains, a discreet twenty-minute drive north into lower Fairfield County, though many members based in Manhattan find the hour-long chauffeured route from the city equally convenient. The final miles trace the wooded back roads of Greenwich's north country, where stone walls and gated lanes hint at the town's deep-rooted reserve. As you turn onto North Street, the landscape opens to reveal Tamarack's understated entrance - a quiet threshold into one of Connecticut's most private and enduring clubs, where the game has been played with quiet devotion since 1921.
