excellent all round

our foursome was unsure if we should play or not as it was raining, then showers then drizzle etc.., but we did.
Very nice course with some nice challenging holes & a great layout.
Considering the hours of rain prior to our start the course was in great condition, i really enjoyed this course & the staff were very helpful.
Two pieces of advise, 1) follow the marked lines across the parking lot to get to number 13 as we went all the way to number 18 by mistake. 2) call the pro shop for rates as we only saved $1 using golfnow.com after fees.
If i lived closer to this course it would definitely be on my play again list.

Great Value and conditions

It was a fall day and was cold at night. The course had a frost delay early in the morning resulting in an hour and a half delay. The rest of the day was excellent. With the frost there were cancellations resulting in the course being wide open when I played with no one holding me up. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. I have always enjoyed the layout of the course with tree lined fairways and many varied challenging holes. Would recommend this course for anyone in the Frankenmuth, Mi area. Great value for the money with friendly staff

secluded up north feel

Challenging, well kept, in a secluded setting. Worth the drive to a somewhat isolated location:

Good, but not great.

This course was worth the 30 minute drive for me. Tee boxes and fairways are in fantastic condition and cut to a good length. My only gripe with this course is some of the greens are pretty scuffed up and it doesnt appear that they roll them. Thankfully, only 2 or 3 greens were bad, the rest were from above average too good.

Very nice layout with lots of character.

Course was very nice. Play was slow but mostly due to people playing the back tees when they should be on the front. Still an enjoyable day.

worth your time and money

Course plays all you clubs with a great variety holes made challenging with water, swamp land, heather, and sand. Helps to know your distances to hazards. water, traps, etc.

If you play the back tees you have to be a single handicapper, The whites are a challenge for the average good golfer and the golds are better suited for the average duffer like me.

Women tees are great for the serious woman golfer or a better than average striker. Clearing hazards or wet lands is a problem for the short knocker or beginner.

But no matter how well you play the Golf Now price was certainly worth the money.

Challenging, but fun course.

A friend and I played the Timbers as part of a 36 hole day. It was great! The course is interesting and challenging. There is a reason they call it the Timbers, but if you stay mostly straight you can avoid it. A great value for the condition and course.

Great Course and Location

Lush fairways and superb greens. Nice course mostly built right in the woods. Fine layout that will require various type of shots due to the many different bends. It was a real pleasure to play with a few regular folks from the state.

Nice course but not up to normal ~

We played here on 8-12-2013 and we got a great deal for the money that day from GolfNow. I like this course but it looked like they had some kind of outing either this same morning or the day before & the greens were very bad. It looked like someone had even tried to ruin areas around some holes on purpose. There were a lot of ball marks, etc. The greens are usually nicer than that. We like this course but it wasn't up to normal on that day, especially the front nine greens. Normally it is a nice course to play.

The other nice thing about the course is the proximity to a wonderful chicken dinner

We left for Timbers from Canada early to make sure that we would not be late for our 11:45 tee off, as it turns out we were very early about an hour to be exact, we asked if it was possible to get on the tee early and there was no problem even though looking at their time sheet which was booked solid. We played in 4 1/4 hours and made our mistakes but enjoyed our day, we expected to pay more than the $25.00 we were charged great value for a great day

Pretty course that winds through trees

A variety of golf holes with strategically placed bunkers. Some holes require shorter accurate tee shots. Planning to replay this course soon.

Stay away from the water!

Real nice course that would be pretty difficult from the blues. 6300 yards or so from the whites. Got a great price through golfnow.com!
