The newly renovated West Course at Tamarack Golf Course officially opened to the public.

Middlesex County and Indigo Sports (a Troon Company) officials held a June 12 event to mark the project’s completion. The upgrades include:

• Brand-new fairways
• Improved drainage
• New tee boxes
• New USGA spec greens
• Bunkers with new liners and sand
• New golf carts and cart paths
• And more

The work also follows a similar project completed in 2022 at the East Course at Tamarack. Renowned golf course designer Mark Mungeam strategically designed the East and West projects at the East Brunswick course.

“With all the upgrades to Tamarack Golf Course over the past few years, our vision to make it a premier golf destination in this region will become a reality,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald Rios.

“The transformation of Tamarack Golf Course over the past few years is nothing short of amazing,” said Jeff Bebbino, regional director of operations, Troon. “Coupled with our top-notch customer service, the newly renovated West Course will bring more attention and new players from all over this region to come visit and play on our upgraded courses.”

Exceptional golf, accessible rates

Funding for the project came through the Middlesex County Open Space Trust Fund. Additional enhancements are also in the works, including upgrades to the façade and signs.

Mungeam said he is very excited about the upgrades.

“The renovated course will be fun for all golfers, with enough strategic options and challenges to captivate the best players and beginners,” said Mungeam. “Tee expansions allow the course to be played at any length from 4,900 to 7,000 yards. Though the corridors are the same as the original course, each hole has been completely rebuilt, and the nines have been reversed.”

Middlesex County Commissioner Charles Tomaro serves as chair of the Infrastructure Committee. He said Tamarack Golf Course was created with the residents in mind.

“It offers exceptional golf experiences at accessible rates, providing real value by simply living here,” said Tomaro. “Whether you’re new to golf or a seasoned pro, Tamarack’s newly upgraded courses will keep you engaged and coming back for more!”

Rios added, “By investing in the quality of life of our residents, our entire community benefits. Not only from an exciting recreational activity, but we’re also attracting new visitors and revenue to the county.”
