Extremely rude staff

Very rude pro shop manager Tom who talks down to customers. Left without playing and will not be back due to this experience. Do not recommend.

First Time Playing

Coming from Florida a nice change.

Tee boxes were level and in good condition. Fairways were firm and excellent condition. Rough was challenging due to depth. Sand traps were good and greens were fast with a lot of movement.

Timbers is the worst bang for the buck.

This course has always been lacking of quality fairway, roughs, and greens, but I played there recently during the peak season of golf where the course should be lush and in tip top condition even at your cheapest municipal course, but not Timbers. Timbers, as always, was in awful condition even during peak season. Not to mention the staff is rude. TERRIBLE irrigation. It hasn’t rained in days and the fairways were still muddy. While other courses you can ride cart on the course, it was still cart path only at Timbers and they threatened to kick me out if they saw even one wheel touch the rough off the cart path. 🤣 And the worst part is they charge an arm and a leg for a round of what’s possibly worst value possible. Save your money and play elsewhere.

Big Difference

I haven't played Timbers in a while because of the rude staff, inconsistent course conditions, and terrible pace of play, but I really enjoyed my most recent visit.

I still disagree with them allowing walkers, but for a midday Hot Deal, I was able to get in & out in under 3.5 hrs in a threesome. It would have been a different story if I was behind the walkers group behind me.

In any event, a good play. The course was in good shape, the greens were in great shape and the hot dogs are always perfect.It should be noted that I played on a Tuesday at 11:45am.

Golf Now or Timbers @ Troy

On reaching the course, we were told that the 18 holes were not open and we would have to play 18 by repeating the first 9 holes. In addition, the greens were totally aerated with sand all over.

We would have appreciated it if Golf Now would have let us know the condition of the course PRIOR to purchase.

The Timbers staff mentioned that Golf Now is aware of the conditions and should have informed us. I cannot confirm or disconfirm the veracity of this claim.

My recommendation for the course is based on current conditions.

Course conditions improved but Pace of play stinks

Allowed fivesome. Had to wait too long to tee off so we quit after 14 holes. Drove back to clubhouse and discovered three open holes ahead so clearly there was one very slow group and no marshalls to be seen.

Good course

Good course but be ready that pace of play is not great and is not managed well. It is a nice layout and the greens are well manicured. I walked the course and there was not any mobile attendants or water around the course so that was not great considering the $100 coat for a round.
