Soft faiways

I enjoyed this coarse. There are some challenging sand traps around some of the greens that will test all levels of golfers. The fairways are nice and soft. Some of the traps need more sand as this is a task still in progress that the coarse management is currently working on.

Play before the renovations are complete

This course is well priced and spreads golfers out enough (10 min) for a good pace of play. We were done in under 4 hours, the course expects a 4.5 hour pace.

Course was in great condition, although bunkers were under construction on several holes, including excavation on the hole 1 fairway. Greens and tee boxes were in fantastic condition considering a month ago the course got destroyed by hail.

Very open course, you don't have to be straight but it certainly helps. Placement on the greens is important, lots of different levels and the greens ran slow. There's a 5 minute cart ride to play holes 13-16. Can't remember water coming into play at all, but there's lots of slope around the greens if you miss them.

Nice gas carts with course GPS. If you buy a snack at the clubhouse, pass on the sandwiches, they're maybe 4 inches long. The course has new owners who are making improvements and with that comes an eventual raise in greens fees, so play the course before it becomes $55 for 18 holes.

Would absolutely play here more often if it was more convenient.

Grounds crew doing a great job

This course was hit hard by a hail storm just before Father’s Day and although the greens have some healing to do still the course played amazing! The grounds crew is doing an outstanding job of keeping the course in amazing shape while adding some new bunkers that are going to make this course even better. If you are between where to play this course will not disappoint.

Alright experience

First time playing here. You can tell this course is under new ownership as there is a lot of work to be done. A lot of areas that are ground under repair. The 9th whole was the only hole with nice bunkers. Some of the greens had dead spots on them. Tee boxes were pretty bad on a good amount of the holes. Fairways were in good shape. Staff was friendly and practice areas were fair. Would certainly come back once a lot of these things are updated.

Better Every Round

The new owners of this course have really turned it around. 3-4 years ago Timber Trace was a shell of its potential. The new owner and greens keeper have invested much time and effort into restoring the course to its glory. Absolutely love the layout. Timber Trace gets better every time I play it!
