Robert Trent Jones Jr. completes renovation of Osprey Meadows at Tamarack Resort in Idaho

Robert Trent Jones Jr. has completed a renovation of the Osprey Meadows course at Tamarack Resort in Idaho, introducing a new level of playability to a layout that he designed and originally opened in 2006.

Then owned by a different group, the course about 90 miles of Boise had closed nine years after it opened because of economic hardship, and it was purchased by Tamarack Resort in 2021. Offering mountain, meadow and lake views, the course includes its main 18 holes plus a bonus par 3 named Gambler’s Hole.

“The grand opening of Osprey Meadows is the highlight of our summer, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for players to experience all 19 holes of this beautiful course,” Scott Turlington, president of Tamarack Resort, said in a media release announcing the completion of the renovation. “It’s extremely rare to get a second chance to make a first impression. In fact, it doesn’t happen very often, and we’ve got that opportunity now.”

Jones Jr.’s firm, Robert Trent Jones II Golf Course Architects, reduced the number and length of forced carries, and fairways were widened. Further refinements are planned. The course can now be stretched to 7,447 yards.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to reinvigorate the award-winning Osprey Meadows Golf Course at Tamarack,” Jones Jr. said in the media release. “The confidence that the Tamarack ownership has exhibited in the long-term value of this unique golf experience is unprecedented. We appreciate their vision and commitment.”
