Always in great shape. Pace of play is usually good. Love that staff Laura and Paul.

Had a fun time with my crew yesterday at The Raven. The staff is top notch and the amenities are great. But like other top tier $$$$ golf courses, golfers playing them do not take care of the course for other golfers. They feel entitled because they paid big bucks and treat the course like crap. None of the bunkers were raked by the people before us. The par threes were all ball marked up. I gave it 3 stars on course shape only because of lazy golfers who ruin it for everyone else.
It’s sad because this is a cool layout but for $240 I can’t recommend it.

We loved the first 15 holes. Great layout, fun holes, and fast greens.

Not sure what happened on 16 to the house.
Starting an hour behind the previous group, we caught them and everyone else on 16 tee.

As we watched them tee off, drive a hundred feet, take their bags off the cart and start walking down the path thru the marsh. After 10 plus minutes and seeing them finally get to the fairway, we decided to go to 18 tee. There were 3 groups playing 18 and it was a log jam.

Needles to say we were out.

If they offered a nice 15 hole rate we’d be back.

Course conditions were fair. Fairway we’re ok but anywhere just a little off the fairway is met with sparse grass and lots of dirt. Greens were ok but you can tell no one fixes their ball marks as there are ball mark scars everywhere.

It’s too bad because it was a really nice course the first few years it was open. Still a good design but pretty obvious the owners have decided that ok is good enough for their customers.

For the money, Turkey, Lincoln hills hills course, Sierra Pines, and Timber. Creek are much better condition.

Course is in good shape. Greens need another week of sun to smooth out from the aeration a few weeks back. They’ll be great again when that happens

Course is in fantastic shape. Greens are running true.

Beautiful course and beautiful weather make up for a 5+ hour round. Tee boxes and greens are good, fairways as usual at this time of year a little spotty in places.

Greens roll true which was nice.

Staff was great. Restaurant looked good but closed before we finished.

Takes a while to get to the course from Highway 49 so plan some extra driving time.

Played twice last week. While it is a little wet like other courses, SP has maintained a great condition.

We love Timber Creek. Tee to green it is fantastic with the one exception. The greens are still bumpy and slow from aeration. Another week or so and they should be good again.

Still one of the best courses in the area.

I had high hopes that the Orchard course would be in better shape than it’s current condition. The Hills course has maintained a far better condition through the summer.

The Orchard has a lot more browned out sections on the course , the bunkers all have not been maintained or trimmed in months. There are tall weeds growing on some of the fairways and the crab grass is running rampant. The greens aren’t bad

For a few bucks more, play the Hills.

Love this course and play it frequently. Like others in the area it is staring to get browned out patches across the 18. Thats to be expected around the area in summer. It’s still better than almost every other course around.

Greens are in good shape but I wish players would fix their ball marks. #FixYours&1 Other or more.

Timber Creek is arguably one of the best maintained course in the area. Open front 10 holes followed by a trip through the forest, which is awesome. Tee to green really good. Greens roll true and fairly fast.

Course is in fantastic shape from tee to green. Bunkers are awesome. The only issue like others have said is that it’s over 5 hours to get around the course. Took us 5 hours and 25 minutes today. Waited on every tee box from #3 on. There is a lot of water around the course so that’s a good thing since we never say the drink cart person after #4. Beginners should not play. Good thing it’s beautiful here.
