Pleasantly surprised!

First time playing. Chose course because it was a Hot Deals special on Golfnow.com. Located within a manufactured home (55) community. Course was cut nicely and fairly open. Lots of canals bordering the fairways, but not too difficult. Greens were in very good condition. Wide fairways.
Course is a bargain for the price. Would recommend.

Not Your Average Par 3 Course

This is not your average par 3 type course. The holes are generally longer than you would expect. You will use most of the clubs in your bag. There are a few par 4's. Overall the course was good considering this is the dry season. The greens were very well maintained. Excellent for a fast round of gold with a great view.

Excellent In Every Way! Do Not Miss This Course.

I played this course occasionally when I lived in Greece NY. It was a farm course and often in rough condition. I moved to Florida 5 yrs ago but had a chance to revisit the course a week ago when visiting relatives in Churchville. I was aware new owners had purchased the course about 5 yrs. ago.

The transformation is incredible! Beautiful tee boxes, fairways and greens. Beautiful new landscaping enhances the visual experience at nearly every hole. Every hole looks like a photo opportunity and was perfectly cut the day I played.

Some holes have been modified either in length, layout, or both. The difficulty level is moderately challenging. And the prices are more than fair.

This course conditions exceed a number of private clubs I have played . Decent new clubhouse with good food at reasonable prices.

Don't miss this course. Highly recommended. Well done Timber Ridge!

Needs Gentle Loving Care

I have played this course a number of times. Condition varies alot. Never excellent. Needs help. I often play with special prices that they email me. I can overlook some things at a lower price. Price is now $42 for 18 holes. This course does not warrant that price. It is on par with many of the other courses in the Clermont area. That is to say, needing help. Most are disgraceful. My group has started playing other courses requiring more travel but returning greater satisfaction. Most courses in Clermont should be ashamed of their condition. Try Royal St. Cloud for Forest Lake for a great experience. Royal St. Cloud has a standard price for resident and non-resident players. It is lush, manicured, and packed. Go figure!

My New Favorite Course

Played the red/white course for the first time. Excellent. I have lived in Florida for almost 5 yrs. and usually play in the Clermont area, near where I live. There is no course in the Clermont area even near the quality of this course. They charge more and are poorly maintained. Weeds, sparse greens and weeds are the norm. It was very busy on the Friday we played but play was fast. No waiting. Bottom line is you get more than what you pay for. Including a small bucket of balls to warm up. Highest recommendation! Well worth any ride. My new favorite course.;!

Nice Course. Needs Maintenance.

Recently played in excellent weather. Overall Course was cut nicely. Weeds everywhere. Many sand traps throughout the course with little sand. Closer to cement. You cannot play out of these traps. Disappointing. Moderate difficulty with plenty of water hazards and the fore mentioned sand traps. I got a great deal online. Worth the discounted price but would be very unhappy paying normal winter prices. I would recommend with reservation.

Great Views Of Clermont And Surrounding Area

Very picturesque. Lots of hills. Great views. Course was in good condition. Not the level of Disney courses. OK greens were recently aerated. Fairways good, lots of weeds in the rough. I play here often depending on what price I can get. Sometimes have resident deals. Winter time rates are usually more than I will pay so they lose my business. Need to have a year round resident rate.

Low Priced Rural Golf

I played this course 4 years ago. Not much has changed. There have been improvements to the cart paths. This is a low cost golf course and you get what you pay for. Let me say this. With time and money this could be a beautiful course. That said it is very crusty. Poor tee boxes, fairways and rough. Some greens were OK, others were not. Sand traps are mostly just pack down sand. What is unique is that there is a water ski school on the property and they ski right by the tee boxes. In some cases you have to wait for boats to pass before hitting.

Nice course in great condition

This course was new I believe in 2014. Played July 2015. Great condition. Very green with nice fairways and very nice greens. Still in building process. A few cart paths are not finished and they were completing some of the water hazards when we played. Those should mostly be finished by now. Play will increase in difficulty when hazards are complete. Clubhouse is currently a temporary structure but OK. Enjoyed my round and highly recommended.

Challenging but needs maintenance

I have played here a number of times since moving to Clermont four years ago. Course is challenging but needs attention to fairways, tee boxes and some greens. Weeds are taking over.
Condition of the course is inconsistent with some holes in OK shape and others not. I have been finding that all courses in this area are not getting the attention they need. Possibly because of a lack of business. Some courses in the area I would not recommend but I would recommend this course. It is far better than many. Read reviews before getting a tee time!

I agree. Have played this course many times but condition has worsened. Couple of fairways were not mowed. Some fairways looking dried out w/ large bare areas evident. Have always loved the lay out. Love the speed of the greens too. I thought it was Integrity Golf not keeping up but some of their other courses are in good shape (Ridgewood Lakes, Mayfair). Orange Lake Reserve has gone down. Good advise to read reviews first.

Maybe worse course in Florida!

Disaster! That really sums it up. Stay away and spend your money elsewhere. Poorly maintained. Closed last summer and did not reopen until early winter 2014. Course is for sale. Cheap price will bring players only once. Obviously maintenance is ignored. Much worse than when I played in March 2015. Two greens are dead with temporary greens and others on the way to death. Fairway and ruff is poorly cut. Small bushes are beginning to grow in some. Once was beautiful and is no longer. Some water stations were empty. Those that have water tastes like it came from a garden hose. There is no bar, restaurant, or beverage cart. Worse course ever in Florida!

Course needs work.

Played here a couple of years ago and course needed better maintenance. I heard a new owner or management team was running the course. Better condition but still needs attention.
Some greens are almost unplayable and a couple of holes are poorly designed. Worth the lower summer price but no more.

Great value. Nice Condition

Course was in great condition. Possibly the best I have seen all year. Well groomed. Medium difficulty that can be adjusted with the many different tee boxes. I play here often.
