First time playing The Timbers

This was my first time playing at The Timbers and I have to say...I was not disappointed. I bought this round through Group Golfer at $19 for 18 with cart. The clubhouse was a little sparse as far as stock. The staff that I encountered were all very friendly from the gentleman behind the counter to the young lady raking the bunkers. This course is in good overall condition. The fairways were well taken care of. The greens were in very good condition. There were a couple of "burnt" spots here and there but nothing that directly affected play. The bunkers all had actual sand in them and not the gravel mix you come across now and then. I did notice some of the tee boxes were in need of some TLC. The course layout was fantastic. I loved the fact that I had to plan some of my shots according to the dog legs or positioning of bunkers. The cart paths are all paved and in great condition. Lots of paths winding in and out of the woods and going over wooden bridges. I would definitely go back and play again! Thanks for a great experience!

Nice course nestled in the woods

Love the scenery at this course, greens are pretty well maintained. Pace of play was a little slow, they were packed. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

An excellent golfing experience, except for the lack of dress code enforcement.

Had a wonderful time golfing the Timbers as usual. The “Senior “ club champion and his threesome played in tee shirts and athletic shorts. I thought they were grounds keeping personnel until they parked in their reserved assigned parking spaces. This is something I would expect at a low end Municipal course. Come on guys, respect the game.

Bad Season

I play this course every summer when I visit from Scottsdale. It’s always my favorite. Unfortunately this season I paid almost double the price as past seasons and the fairways and greens were in terrible condition. I’ll be back, but I hope the conditions will be better like past seasons

Challenging Course-Close to Frankenmuth

Nice course, great layout. My only complaints would be a few greens had bare patches as did the tee boxes. They allowed a six some time play behind us which should not be allowed. Other than that, this is a good course we will play again when visiting Frankenmuth.

Decent Course needs a little TLC but fun day!!

Course is decent for sure. No where near The Fortress but at the right price it’s a decent little layout. They need to water the greens and course. Too many dead areas. Greens were a bit shaggy and sluggish but still a nice day on the links.
