Best hot deal out there

Regular rate isn’t bad at all but if you can get a hot deal, jump on it. Best value by far and the course is in great shape. Just hit the fairways and greens. Second time playing here in two months and will again ASAP

Good course but 5 hour round

Course was in good condition and has a fun layout. I was playing just behind a tournament and it was a 5 hour round. The group in front was a 5 person group, but there was no where to go if we passed them because of the tournament. Hopefully I just got unlucky

Good bones, rough shape

This course is another classic New England track, with narrow, bunkered, tree-lined fairways and not much margin for error. I like the variation in holes , the scenery and the shot values, but the course conditions have deteriorated since I last played it, maybe 7-8 years ago. The greens were nice for a public course that gets heavy play, but the tees, cart paths and especially the bunkers were in rough condition. It was also difficult to choose an aiming point on an unfamiliar course, because the fairways and the rough were not well delineated.

I had a nice time on a gorgeous day, but I think the course needs an infusion of cash to bring it back to its full potential.

First time, but certainly not last

This was my wife and myself's first visit to Timberlin. It will not be our last. Great course and well maintained. Cart paths could use some maintenance but besides that very nice course that will be added to our twice weekly golfing.

Heat Wave!

Today was really hot, but we had a great day. Everything was in good condition. The fairways, greens and all the tee box was really in good shape. I don't mind playing here everyday. All my friends really enjoyed the golf course. They like it so much , they want me to book it again for next weekend.Thanks Golfnow for this great Hot Deal.

Timberlin

I grew up playing this course and I’m in the men’s club this year. Greens are almost fully recovered from aeration. Course is always in good condition. Played 18, the back 9 as a 5 some and still waited every shot. Beautiful day always equals a long round here! So be prepared.

Totally underrated CT course

Had an absolute blast playing 18 here yesterday with my dad and my brother. Tee boxes and fairways and greens are in great shape. Carts are great. Just an awesome track that I haven’t played before yet most of my life has been in CT. Will play here again immediately

Great public course

The layout and staff are great and normally the course is in nice condition. I was disappointed that the greens were recently airrated (I know that this needs to be done) but there was no mention of this prior to booking our round. I really think that we should have been given a heads up.

Disappointed

Second time down to Timberlin this year. Was extremely disappointed to find out the greens had been punched and no notice was posted on golf now. Which i know they do.
