The East Course at Tamarack Golf Course reopened to the public last week after undergoing nearly two years of renovations and upgrades.

The work included improved drainage, a new irrigation system, brand new tee boxes, bunker and finish work, and grassing.

The updates were funded through the Middlesex County Open Space Trust Fund, which provides grants to recreation facilities for the benefit of the community.

County officials says the work will provide an improved experience for players at the East Brunswick facility, which features two 18-hole championship golf courses.

“I am extremely proud of the dramatic transformation our golf courses have undergone and am eager to see the enhancements to come,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald Rios. “Not only will this investment in the Tamarack Golf Course enhance the quality of life for our residents and attract new visitors to our beautiful county, but these renovations will also improve everyone’s playing experience. Whether you’re a golf enthusiast or simply looking for some outdoor recreation, I encourage all residents to visit our newly renovated East Course.”

The project was completed by Indigo Sports, a Troon Company. Each course is designed by experienced golf course architect Mark Mungeam of Mungeam Golf Design Inc.

“Middlesex County has always placed a high value on working with first-in-class partners to deliver high-caliber facilities to our residents,” said Middlesex County Commissioner Charles Tomaro. “The partnership between Middlesex County and Indigo Sports is a testament to that philosophy. Working together, the county, Indigo Sports, and Mark Mungeam of Mungeam Golf Design Inc. have created a world-class facility for our golf-enthusiast residents.”

Later this month, the West Course will close to undergo a similar upgrade and renovation project that is expected to be completed by fall 2024.

“We could not be happier with the outcome of the renovation work on the East Course,” said Jeff Bebbino, regional manager for Indigo Sports. “Middlesex County’s commitment to great golf and affordability to residents is on full display this fall at Tamarack. We’re thrilled to get to work on the West Course next and showcase two fantastic layouts in Central New Jersey.”
