Needs Work

The course needs a lot of work but I assume they don’t have the money to do it. I go there because it’s never crowded and I can practice without waiting. Plus they are the cheapest course on Golf Now.

Don’t go

I saw on Golf Now that the rating for this course had improved so I booked it. This course had improved slightly from when I played it some years ago. It is NOT a 4 star course. My advice would be don’t go there.

Great Shape

This course had made great strides the last couple of years and is in great shape. Their practice facilities are impressive. I would say 4.5 stars for condition and 4.5 overall.

Improved

I have played this course several times and they are doing a good job of getting it back into better shape. It is a challenging course from their senior tees almost 6000 yards. Only complaint is that their new greens are hard and we had many shots that hit the green and went off the back of the green. Greens were fast and are challenging.

OK

The course is in good shape. Not many playing today. Cart paths are miserable and most really bad spaces we got off the cart paths. I thought the speed of greens was not consistent but they were in good condition. Traps were great.

Inproving

I have played Timberlake many times and today’s round was my best ever. They are working to soften some greens which today were better after they punched and sanded greens for the second time this summer. Only complaints today were greens were still bumpy which will improve soon and the sand traps had not been raked today . It’s a good course with some great views of Lake Murray. Very good course for the price.

Improving

Timberlake has a new head of golf operations who is improving the course. Fairways and greens are very good now. There are some greens that do not hold well but they are committed to improve that. Only course on lake Murray with some Great Lake views and interesting holes.

Lake Murray isn't around The Spur at Northwoods. There is no lake there, just some larger areas of water here and there. If you were playing a course on Lake Murray then you were playing Timberlake.

Greens just sanded.

I have played this course several times and it has greatly improved since a change in ownership but still needs further improvement. I booked through Golf Now and did not know they were sanding greens. Some greens weren’t bad and some were loaded with sand. It ruined our round. I will be discussing this with golf now. Generally it’s a decent course for the price and today was an exception.

Best Greens in town

LinRick is always a surprisingly well conditioned course as to their fairways and greens. Most people think that public courses are always substandard. Unlike most local courses, they have over seeded their greens with rye grass and have the best greens right now my group has played around Columbia. Even in this wet and cold period their greens are excellent.

Great Course

Edgewater is a day trip for my group. It’s not close to much in SC but worth the trip. Lots of elevation changes and wide variety of holes. Always in great shape. One of the top places we play. Greens held very well and were fine.

Good Round

Course is in good shape. Only golf course on Lake Murray. Good mix of holes . My senior group always enjoys it. Only complaint I have is that several greens are hard and do not hold very well. I am an advanced player and had 4 birdies today and some greens held well yet others ran out 30 to 40 feet. I always enjoy this course and the views of the lake are a huge plus.

Day After

We played the day after the hurricane came through the Columbia area. The course was fine . Fairways and greens were good. Rough was deep and wet. If you don’t hit fairways balls in the rough often sit down in the Bermuda rough and are hard to find. Their new greens are were hard to hold for my group. This is a longer senior course than most we play. We got a great price on Golf Now and it’s well worth the price. Challenging layout .

Good Conditions

Greens and fairways are in good shape. This is a County course that is kept in remarkable good shape. Get very far off the fairways can be challenging. I’ve played it many times and it’s always a good course for a reasonable price.
