i really like Timber Creek. One of the courses on our regular rotation. Interesting layout, well tended, available tee times and friendly staff.

However, last Saturday, two foursomes really slowed everyone down. The foursome in front of us made us wait every, single, shot. Tough to shoot well when you can't get a rhythm. They were well over a hole behind the foursome in front of them who were 3 holes behind as well. 3 holes! So we were 4+ holes behind where we should have been by the end of the round. Waiting every shot. They would clear the green, we'd hit second shots, chip, putt and they still wouldn't have completed teeing off. Hole after hole. Argggh.

A staff member did come out and speak with them on the front 9 and it got a little better for a couple holes. He said they had regulars in their group and they should know better. That lasted two holes then right back to super-slow through 18.

This isn't typical, but do know it's possible.

Big need? A water fountain. They don't have water on the course so you need water to start and at the turn. But they don't have a fountain, so you have to wait for the staff to fill your bottles from the sink. The staff is nice about it, but it holds things up. Only course I know without a fountain or filtered water or something.
