Bring your swamp buggy and balls, fun course for sale $1.5 million

We have golfed northern Michigan, southern Michigan, Western Michigan, and not too much eastern Michigan so this time we made the trip over towards Frankenmuth and did not want to spend the price of the fortress and everything in Frankenmuth the chicken dinners, and all that are very expensive and over priced as far as I’m concerned, then we found this course about 510 minutes from Frankenmuth. Call the Timbers and scored a deal for $30 each and the ratings were pretty good so we booked it.

We started about half hour early 1 o’clock on a Friday afternoon and breeze through the front nine pretty much all woods and a lot of swamps. I don’t think I’ve seen more swamps ever even swamp fire up in Garland did not have this many swamps, and Carrie‘s, but it was fun. Very challenging And then on the back nine we played through one foursome and then you ran into a few homes. There was one hole that had a real weird looking house on a dog leg par five that was like a 90° dog leg and it had nets all over the house because it must’ve got quite a few times But the overall condition of this course is pretty good not perfect by any means but the layout in the the mounds and the swamps in the woods, create a very visually stunning course close to Trent Frankenmuth as I said, so we did Bronners and then we went up to Bay City, and had a very nice dinner at Luckys steakhouse in State and Bay City, and then worked her way up to Houghton Lake and played a course there that was having so much fun and place is old and called white deer which I do not recommend then I will review that next, so yes I will try this course. Call the Timbers mom it is for sale for 1.5 million if you want to buy it seems to be a pretty nice area but overall yeah the surface conditions were a few spotty areas but overall they took good care of the course to greens were not overly fast and it was a relatively flat Course yes it was a flat course, but bring some extra balls because there is a lot of swamp water in lakes and ponds and all that good stuff so enjoyed it. Thank you.

The Timbers

I enjoy playing this course very much. A few of the greens had rough patches. The clubhouse had few choices for lunch. Staff were extremely friendly. Facilities were clean.

Wouldn’t Recommend

Course was in tough shape - clearly understaffed! No food available - very slim drinks available - no starter - felt very disorganized.
