View RSS Feed TAMARACK, Idaho -- In the midst of just its third season, Osprey Meadows Golf Course - the challenging Robert Trent Jones, Jr. layout at Tamarack Resort in Idaho's Payette River Mountains - is being honored once again among America's top courses.

Osprey Meadows makes its debut on the biennial GOLF Magazine "Top 100 Courses You Can Play" list for 2008-2009 - coming in at No. 79. Osprey Meadows was also recognized by GOLF Magazine in their first-ever ranking of "The best courses you can play in every state" coming in at No. 2 for Idaho.

In addition to fellow Idaho Golf Trail Courses Circling Raven (No. 93) and Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course (No. 69), Osprey is in the company of many esteemed national courses.

The Top 100 list is derived from ratings submitted by a team of GOLF Magazine best-of panelists who scour the country to evaluate the best public-access courses, of which there are roughly 14,000. The biennial list is included in the September 2008 edition of the magazine, which is available on newsstands now.

"It is very rewarding to see the leading voices of golf continue to acknowledge and reward the great service, astounding beauty and spectacular design of this Robert Trent Jones, Jr. layout," says Tom Altmann, Director of Golf. "Playing Osprey Meadows is not just a round of golf, but a memorable golf experience for all levels of golfers."

North America's top properties for group functions

Tamarack, Idaho-Tamarack Resort was recently endorsed by Elite Meetings International (EMI), an innovative company that assists top planners in finding the best properties for meetings and incentives throughout North America.

As a whole, the resort's amenities and recreational opportunities were judged on: arrival experience, accommodations, meeting and event facilities, activity options, overall dining experience, and most importantly, service. EMI's Elite Meetings Advisory Board-a body that consists of corporate meeting planners and hospitality executives-granted Tamarack with the Elite Certification after the resort's staff demonstrated its commitment to providing an exceptional group experience.

"Our goal in establishing Elite Certification was to compile a peer-rated resource that recognized those properties that represent the best of the best, independent of affiliation," says EMI CEO Kelly Foy. "We're proud to offer Elite Certification status to Tamarack Resort. Our endorsement reflects our belief in the exceptional standards that visiting groups can expect."

"We are honored to be one of the elite locations for the EMI organization," says Ken Rider, Tamarack's Director of Resort Sales and Marketing. "The resort being approved by both industry veterans as well as those who have held meetings here is a great reassurance of our dedication to be an acclaimed vacation and conference destination."
