Timber Ridge Golf Course

This was my first time playing Timber Ridge. I met my oldest son there (halfway point between our two homes). This course is a older country course with some very different hole designs that will challenge even a great golfer. Most of the greens are firm and smaller than average. Hole #8 is under construction creating an interesting finishing hole on the driving range.

Maybe the proper name for the course should have been The Gambler, or The Maverick. Drivable par 4s, tiny greens that aren't flat, and narrow ribbons of fairways. This course will provide it all for any level of golfer. 8 will make you look at other narrow holes differently from now on. Short par 3s break up the course nicely and don't beat yourself up for making bogeys. Can't wait to see the progression with longer tees being built and other additions to the course.

They changed the layout of the course ,so my GPS watch wouldn't work. And my only other complaint was that the 1st cut of rough was too high,made it hard to find our balls and hard to advance the ball. But the course is very nice, and I will be playing it again.

I really enjoyed this round. The Multi-hat wearing owner is a friendly, knowledgeable man. The course has teeth and I'm sure will be gorgeous was spring is in full bloom. Work is steadily being done to continue the improvement of the course. I will be playing here several times this year God-willing and the Creek don't rise.

We had a great time and enjoyed the weather. Course was dry and hard to get tees in the ground but still had lots of fun.

Thanks for everything.

Once this course has time to recover from recent construction, it will be a staple for many. I’m afraid it will need another year or two. Clubhouse/pro shop could use some work.

Tough greens, interesting course. Staff was extremely friendly.

We scheduled our tee time online the day prior for 8:52 a.m. keeping mind we are driving from fort Wayne. At 7:15 we get an email cancelling our tee time. Now we can't find another morning tee time anywhere we want to go. They didn't even offer us any compensation for our inconsiderate inconvenience. They completely ruined our day. I wouldn't golf there again if it was the last golf course on earth (not that they would honor the tee time anyway) !!!!!!!!!

Price was right but you get what you pay for. Course was in "transition". The owners were adding new holes and eliminating other holes. All the holes were renumbered. Course map was ESSENTIAL as the signage as to the next tee box was nonexistent. I rely heavily on my Garmin watch to get accurate measurements to the greens but was absolutely worthless this day as none of the holes matched to the Garmin watch (I even tried to search through the holes on my watch to determine which "Garmin hole" I was actually on but then the watch wouldn't adjust). Later found out that hole 10-12 were the old 1-3 and the Garmin helped on those holes. Once they get it completed and reset with GPS, this course should be a fun to play. It was just frustrating playing on it the first time and not knowing exactly where or how far you should hit the ball. There is a lot of water on the course, so I suggest you go buy some "Wilson floater balls" if you slice or hook a bit. No toilet facilities out on the course, only at the clubhouse.

They did say that there was a lot of construction going on, but man… that was an understatement. The cart paths were not worthy of driving or being deemed cart paths. They also mentioned they were changing holes which made the layout seem weird and not fluid.

The holes were good - ish. I quit at hole 15 because they allowed a group of 6 to go? I’ve never heard of this at any golf course I’ve been to. I took my stuff to my car and packed up. The woman at the front asked if I was done, I mentioned “No, but there’s a group of 6 ahead of me and I am not going to wait on them.” The gentleman offered to get them out of my way, but I already packed up and was ready to head.

Maybe in a few years I’ll be back, but not this summer.

I used a golf passport and only had to pay for the cart - or the value would have gotten a 1 star as well.

Hope this place gets better!

To be fair we were given a heads up on course conditions by the owner prior to teeing off. I am excited to see this course once all renovations are completed, lots of potential! Will be back.

Being my first time playing timber ridge I left a few shots out there. The layout and length is nice. The back has elevation changes and some water on both mines. I enjoyed the round and will play again.

We had booked a 2 some for early afternoon.. As soon as we booked, we got a call from the golf course, they were NOT going to honor our GOLF NOW reservation. They were not going to let anyone on the course that paid 10.00. They have a contract with GolfNOW for their website and online booking as well.. for that the golf course exchanges tee times. Usually 2 foursomes per day.. I recall another golf course that said the same thing.. we are not going to let anyone on our course for that cheap.. that course is now just weeds and closed..I guess having bodies there, that may want to have something to eat and drink during the turn and after the 18 is not important to management at this course, as it was not at the one that had to close for the same poor management decisions. I will NOT recommend this course to anyone.
