Timber Pointe Golf Club

Loved the course, 2nd time I played. Unfortunately the both times that I have played, the weather did not cooperate. 1st time rainy and in the 30's and second time 40 mile hour winds and very chilly. So really could not get a fair assessment of the course. Course without weather is very challenging, which is very deceiving from the initial look from the clubhouse. The greens were tough because it looked like they were just airrated. Fairways were beautiful and if you like sand, this is the place to be. Staff was just amazing both time I played. They were very informative and extremely hospitable. I will definitely be back and bring friends out to experience this great challenge. Other course representatives should take customer service lessons from the staff at Timber Point. Thanks for a great experience.

Nice course. Very friendly staff. A great course at the GolfNow value.

Worth the price of admission especially when u pay only $11.00 thru this website

very nice course with some challenging holes. staff very friendly. practice facility nice. club house great, video poker available. down side, cart paths in areas are very bumpy, skimpy amounts of sand in some bunkers. overall good course to play

This is a beautiful course that offers quite a challenge. Lots of sand, trees and thick rough. The greens were in great shape. There were a lot of water coolers on the course, along with an adequate amount of port-o-johns. I did not eat anything there, so don't know about that, although the "19-hole" looked nice. Normal rates are a bit high for me - I wouldn't have golfed here if I didn't find a great rate on GolfNow. I'm very glad that I did, and intend on returning to this course to golf again - It was great!

Tough course. Most friendly golf course staff I have ever encountered.

Played this course a bunch of times and have always been treated with kindness. They do care about their customers. When you play there, sign up for their email club. They have a number of innovative specials from time to time.

My play today was awful, which was my doing. Course in good shape outside of the inconsistency of the bunkers. Generally the play is quick. Gotta little jammed up this time.

Pricie points... They have online specials and golfnow can usually get you out for $32 or less on weekdays.

Good driving range as well.

The staff is and always has been very friendly. The course was in great shape and the greens were hard and fast.

The Good: Fun, sporty course just east of Rockford is one of the better public courses in the area. Unique layout has mixture of tree-covered and open, links-style holes. The Par 5's are particularly strong and there are some beautiful Par 3's tucked into the woodlands. Good fairway conditions and smooth greens that putt pretty smooth. Very strong practice facility includes great driving range, putting green, and nice short game area. Very friendly staff will do their best to ensure you have a good experience. Good value at around $55 during peak season.

The Bad: Sand hazard conditions are very poor with thin sand. Greens are typically too slow and don't hold well. Pace of play can be a serious issue. Clubhouse is only fair and on-course amenities are mediocre with no GPS and outhouses.

The Verdict: "The Pointe" is a fun golf course that can be very challenging (and very slow) when the wind blows. A top tier public course in the greater Rockford area and close enough to the northwestern Chicago suburbs.

Best Hole: The short Par 3 #8 is a beautiful hole. Not more than a short iron, but tucked amongst an amphitheater of large trees.

Need a little break on the price, come on golfnow.com pick this course up.
