Osprey Meadows at Tamarack Resort: A Premier Idaho Golf Course Reborn

Tamarack Resort is thrilled to announce the grand reopening of Osprey Meadows, an 18-hole masterpiece designed by renowned golf architect Robert Trent Jones II. Set to open in the summer of 2024, this stunning golf course promises an unparalleled experience for golfers of all skill levels. The highly anticipated return of Osprey Meadows marks a new era for Tamarack Resort, solidifying its position as a premier golfing destination in the Pacific Northwest.

The Osprey Meadows course seamlessly blends multiple terrains, offering golfers a unique and challenging journey through meadows, wetlands, and groves of aspen before ascending to higher ground dotted with majestic ponderosa pines. The course's innovative design features, including doglegs, split fairways, and dramatic waterfalls, create a harmonious and captivating golfing experience that will leave players in awe of the natural beauty surrounding them. The meticulously crafted layout ensures that each hole presents a new and exciting challenge, making Osprey Meadows a true test of skill and strategy for golfers of all levels.

"Playing 9 holes on Tamarack's Osprey Meadows, their newly reopened golf course, was an exceptional experience," said Niclas, an avid golfer and recent visitor to the resort. "The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable round of golf. The stunning views of the lake and mountains more than made up for the few lengthy cart rides between a couple of holes, adding to the overall charm of the course. The natural beauty of the surroundings provided a peaceful and serene atmosphere, allowing golfers fully immerse themself in the game and appreciate the artistry of the course design."

The Osprey Meadows course was designed by the renowned Robert Trent Jones II design firm. “We explored opportunities to provide some ‘plastic surgery’ to many of the golf holes while providing room along the perimeter for resort and residential development,” said Bruce Charlton, president of RTJ II. “This is definitely what I consider a reinvigoration of the Osprey Meadows course, mostly an allocation of more space to the golf course to make it more fun.”

The Osprey Meadows maintenance team has worked tirelessly to ensure that the fairways and greens are in pristine condition, providing a top-quality playing surface for golfers. The lush, rolling fairways invite players to unleash their best drives, while the well-manicured greens demand precision and finesse. The course also features a state-of-the-art Pro Shop, offering rentals and golfing essentials, as well as a driving range with a spectacular view of Lake Cascade, allowing players to warm up and hone their skills before tackling the course.

In addition to the full 18-hole course, Osprey Meadows boasts a unique "Gamblers Hole," adding an extra element of excitement to the golfing experience. This special hole offers players the chance to take a risk and potentially reap the rewards, making for a memorable and thrilling moment on the course. The resort also offers golf clinics and lessons for both adults and children, led by experienced instructors who are passionate about helping players improve their skills. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner looking to learn the game, Osprey Meadows has something to offer everyone.

“Tamarack Resort is incredibly excited to welcome golfers back to Osprey Meadows," said Dustin Simmons, the resort's spokesperson for the new golf course. "The grounds-crew has worked hard to create an unforgettable golfing experience that combines the natural beauty of our surroundings with a challenging and well-designed course. At Osprey Meadows, the goal is to ensure that every aspect of the course, from the layout to the maintenance, meets the highest standards of quality and excellence. The Tamarack team looks forward to seeing both new and returning guests enjoying all that Osprey Meadows has to offer and to hearing their stories of unforgettable rounds played amidst the stunning Idaho landscape."
