Tamarack Golf Club

Tamarack Golf Club in Naperville, Illinois, is a daily-fee facility designed by David Gill and opened in the mid-1990s. The course occupies land in the western Chicago suburbs, an area that experienced significant residential and commercial development during that period. Gill, a regional architect active in the Midwest, created a layout that works within the relatively flat terrain typical of northeastern Illinois, incorporating water features and strategic bunkering to define holes and add challenge. The routing makes use of several ponds and wetland areas that come into play on multiple holes, requiring golfers to navigate forced carries and manage risk around water hazards. The course features a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with mature landscaping that has developed over the decades since opening. Fairways are generally generous enough to accommodate recreational players, while green complexes and hazard placement provide decision points for more skilled golfers. Tamarack serves the Naperville community and surrounding western suburbs as an accessible public option in a region with a strong golf culture. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse typical of daily-fee operations in suburban Chicago. The course sees regular play from local residents and visitors seeking a straightforward round without the formality or expense of private club golf.
