Tamarac - Worth an Attack 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Jun 17, 2018
Played the course:once
Pros:
+ Scenic little course in a Delta neighborhood that definitely sees locals often and exhibits a good use of the small area available and also seems to be well-maintained with a port-o-john on site near the parking lot, which has ample room
+ Navigation not difficult despite lack of signage, plays a loop, no crossing fairways, what elevation is present is used well
+ Decent baskets, natural tees have been upgraded to concrete tiles since last review
+ Some variety in distance present; some open shots but most have a little bit more of a challenge
+ Navigation not difficult despite lack of signage, plays a loop, no crossing fairways, what elevation is present is used well
+ Decent baskets, natural tees have been upgraded to concrete tiles since last review
+ Some variety in distance present; some open shots but most have a little bit more of a challenge
Cons:
- No map/signage/distances
- No benches/trash cans along course
- A little on the short side, but there wasn't a lot of room to work with

Other Thoughts:
Tamarac is a great little course that I see as good for beginners/locals/baggers alike. Anyone looking for "championship caliber" might be underwhelmed but I've seen much worse 9 holers. It's also a great, quick warm-up before heading to Confluence Park.
It's on the short side, but it's apparent that a fair amount of thought has gone into the layout. While the first hole is a basic shot across a field, the rest of the holes offer a bit more challenge, heading through the park's foliage/trees. There's also a narrow creek/drainage that runs around 3 & 4 that can be difficult for retrieval and has certainly eaten some discs (I saw a couple guys spending a lot of time searching it). That hazard and the mando "eye-of-the-needle" shot on 8 (I think it was 8) add some dimension to the course. Despite the lack of signage navigation isn't difficult. The tee for 1 is just to the right of the parking lot, and the rest of the course is pretty fluid, though there can be some confusion as to which tee to shoot from around 6-8. That said, the baskets each have a nice large number on them and no hole is too long that you can't find which one you're going for.
All in all I left feeling that for what it is and what "They" had to work with, Tamarac is a nice fun course for a quick round, especially when paired with Confluence Park across town. I was itching to give it a 3, and with proper signage I'd definitely give it that bump.
