As summer approaches, one standout golf experience on her radar is the much-anticipated grand opening of the Osprey Meadows Golf Course at Tamarack Resort, where club enthusiasts can enjoy the beautifully landscaped greens.
Tamarack Resort is thrilled to announce the grand reopening of the renowned Osprey Meadows Golf Course on May 24, 2025, following an extensive refurbishment in collaboration with the original architects from Robert Trent Jones II (RTJ II). The course blends the iconic beauty of Idaho’s landscapes with modern craftsmanship, significantly improving playability across its fairways while conserving its enchanting scenic vistas and lush green grass terrain.
The comprehensive redesign includes invigorating renovations to select holes, enhancing them to offer both novice and professional golfers a refined and captivating playing experience. With its breathtaking views of mountains, meadows, lakes, and the surrounding land, the Osprey Meadows Golf Course promises an invigorating round of golf set in a serene natural environment. Golfers can enjoy a smooth ride along the fairways with a golf cart, ensuring they have plenty of energy for each swing. The course also poses intriguing challenges like bunkers and water hazards to test the skill of every golfer.
As part of the grand reopening, Tamarack Resort is offering exciting incentives for visitors. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy savings of up to 20% on vacation rentals and tee times. This promotion underscores Tamarack’s commitment to providing value and memorable experiences to all visitors. Bookings can be made through the Tamarack Resort website or by calling the reservation desk directly.
Speaking about the opening, Susan Wright, Travel Advisor, skier, and golfer who frequents Tamarack Resort, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “We are excited to see the openening as Tamarack Resort welcomes back golf lovers to Osprey Meadows Golf Course. The collaboration with RTJ II has truly revitalized the course, blending tradition with innovation to offer a unique golfing experience. Their commitment to delivering a premier golfing destination that captures the essence of Idaho’s stunning landscapes and the thrilling challenge of navigating from the rough to the smooth fairways is unprecidented.”
One of the standout features of the renovated course is the fairway that leads up to a unique introduction of a 19th hole, designed to offer a refreshing conclusion to a round of golf. The bonus hole par-3 provides an opportunity for players to settle friendly wagers, engage in recounting highlights from their rounds, and simply enjoy the camaraderie that the game fosters. The scenic backdrop of the course features a lake that adds a serene touch to this lively landscape. While traversing these courses, players can rely on their scorecard to keep track of strokes per hole, making sure they tally up their efforts accurately.
The Pro Shop at Osprey Meadows will be fully stocked and operational from the reopening date, with a wide range of golfing apparel, accessories, and the latest equipment for both purchase and rentals.
