Fair Test for ALL golfers

I played 6 times in 9 days over the July 4th holiday period. You think I would get bored with the same layout but every day brings a new challenge with Timber Ridge.

The frequent tight tee shots mean one day when you are on your game it is no problem but other days the 8-9 tee shots that do require accuracy play on your mind.

Then some days the course is a 2nd shot course.

John and the Team are so friendly and accommodating and as I am an early starter I get to chat occasionally with the grounds staff while getting around the course.

The Greens complexes can be challenging and I recommend trying to leave your approach below the hole as otherwise you are in 3 putt territory.

The terrain and wild life always reminds me that I am in the Northwoods and I could always travel a bit further to try some other courses (which I did in the past) but Timber Ridge provides a daily challenge but keeps the familiarity and hospitality a golfer always looks for.

This course was dry

The course was in great shape. We had heavy rain and storms Monday ,Tuesday ,Wednesday a Thursday morning but the course was dry on the fairways and greens, some of the sand traps had water in them. When we walked off the course are pants and shoes were dry. The workers at Timber Ridge were very nice and helpfully.

Slow play

The course was in excellent shape. It is laid out very nice. The negative is that there was a 5 some ahead of us and we had to wait every shot. It took us 5 hours to complete the round!

A Must Play

Course is in excellent condition. Not a bare spot anywhere in the fairways and the greens are fast and perfect. Tee shot distance and placement are important. Play the right tees and you'll have a great day.

Always a Good Time

Great challenging course. Got to tee off earlier than 12:48 tee time. Staff was very friendly. Beware the rough, some holes you will likely not find your ball. Sand traps could do with less stones. If you cherish your sand wedge, drop the ball out of the trap. Always try to play this course when "up nort".

Never lets me down

Great lay-out and always in great condition. Best Course in the area!! The staff are always so accommodating. They remember you even though I visit only 6-7 times a year. They never rest on their laurels and always give you a 5 Star Service. I am a dew sweeper and tee-off at around 6am and I am rarely held up by the maintenance crew on the fairways and greens. Which can sometimes be the case at other courses at that time of the morning. Par 3s are gettable and your 3rd shot on the Par 5s should be with a short iron if you get off the tee well. I always walk 18 in under 3 hours. Finally, after round eatery at Chef Renee's is second to none!

Hard to score on the par 5's

I've played this course many times, I've never seen it in better condition. My only problem with this course is some of the greens are tucked behind large trees on the par 5's. You have to lay up or hope your ball misses the trees with your approach shot

Timber Ridge is a top notch public course. It's challenging yet fair and it is in great condition. Afterward, we had dinner, and chef Rene provides outstanding food. If you want the total package for the money, this is for you.

The course was in super condition. The greens were extremely receptive for iron shots. With dogleg holes I strongly recommend that you play from the proper tees to really enjoy the course.
