May 14, 2015 – UPDATE
Tamarack Municipal Association, Inc., the master owner’s association at Tamarack Resort, operated the Osprey Meadows Golf Course for the last three seasons under a lease with current owner West Mountain Golf LLC%u200B (WMG)%u200B.
From 2009 through 2011, Raven Golf Management operated it on a similar arrangement. On April 2, 2015, the arrangement for TMA to lease the course terminated, and TMA provided WMG’s mortgage lender with a chance to operate the course. The mortgage lender, Jeanne Bryant, has indicated she will not take any steps to operate or open the course this summer. She has sued TMA for rent from June 1 2014, which TMA is defending vigorously.
We remain optimistic that the involved parties will again seek someone to operate the golf course in the future, but, at this time, we want to let you know that there are no operating plans for this summer. We will keep you updated on golf course operations as they become available.

Difficult course. Bring lots of golf balls. Many holes with forced carry from tees, second shots, and approach shots. Greens were outstanding condition. Course does not seem to be crowded due to its location. Great summer area, very scenic. Excellent clubhouse facility. Afternoon rates usually available at vry good price.

Bring a lot of golf balls with you! If your ball just barely jumps off the fairway into the long grass, you can kiss it goodbye. Luckily I stayed in the fairway. The course is beautiful and serene. Some of the greens had sand on them where they were trying to repair the grass, that was the only negative. We were caught in a little rain, but the built in club cover on the cart was very helpful to keep our clubs dry. The drink cart came by often to see if we needed anything. Will definitely return for more golf at this course. PS. The last hole is a BEAR!!

Osprey WAS one on the best courses I have played anywhere. Unfortunately, due to the economic disaster at Tamarack Resort, play at the course has been inadequate to keep it open. The course is closed until further notice. We can only hope that "Further notice" is sooner rather than later. COURSE CLOSED.
