Timberview Golf Club
About
Timberview Golf Club rolls across a diverse landscape that is ideal for a challenging round. The rolling terrain is covered with mature trees, ponds, and creeks. There is a housing development surrounding the golf course, but the houses do not intrude into the game. The layout features seven holes that were carefully carved from the dense forests and fourteen holes with water hazards coming into play. The course has a good balance of player-friendly holes and more challenging holes. The wide fairways are well manicured and the undulating greens are medium in size. In addition to the water and trees, sand fiercely guards the greens on half of the holes. The layout is still gentle enough to appeal to beginners. Timberview also offers two practice putting greens.

Potential
Could be a really nice course, but it isn't taken care of. Leaves and sticks are rarely picked up and balls are easily lost in the leaves (if you're like me and cant drive on the fairway)
Challenging but achievable
Staff was very welcoming. I would definitely recommend stopping buying for a round.
Not very well maintained
The course needs a lot of work. Greens are decent. Traps are not maintained at all. Years ago, this was a nice place, but has gone downhill over the years. It's still a good layout, but is hardly being taken care of at all.
Playable
Timerview is not crowed so never encountered waiting or push to pass through. But the maintains is not at high level, especially the green. However, it is worth the payment. With $12, this is what you can get.
Great value
Greens are in poor shape. Great value for the money. Would be an excellent course if the greens were better.
Putting on carpet
Greens were all bunt up and they must be saving money on gas cause they did not mow greens. My carpet in my house was shorter. Fairway and rough were all crabgrass. Nice design but no maintenance.
Terrible greens
Granted, I paid very little to play this course. However, if I can't get a true roll on the greens the game is pointless. The greens havnt been mowed in days and there were several brown dry spots. The fringe was as high as the rough. So there goes ones putting and chipping! I probably lost 5 to 6 strokes around the green alone.
Long of the short, they should've paid me to play this course!!!
Cheap but reasons why
I had never played this course before. I saw it was $12 for 18 and a cart. I thought I would try it out. It doesn't appear they put any money back into the course. The greens were rock hard and cracked. The tee boxes were not maintained. Course would play great if they put money into watering greens and taking care of the tee boxes.
Course was bad bad green and bad
Oh my it was bad green bad bad bad and bad times eighteen its was so bad i thoug it was fair way but iit was green that bad
Cold beer and fun course!
The beer was ice cold. I grabbed a 10$ tee time. It's unbelievable I played this course for 10 bucks. The only thing was I think it upset the owner knowing what I paid. I could be wrong since I don't know him though. He seemed a little annoyed. Just an observation.
Don't do it
I know Golf Advisor will probably filter this review (because they filtered my negative review of this course last year). I swore to myself I'd never return to Timberview, but ended up returning because there wasn't much else available. I regret going. The course is just in terrible shape. There are dirt patches on the greens as well as an unbelievable amount of brown spots. The weeds grow rampant all over the course. It is frustrating because it really could be a decent course, but it is borderline unplayable. Not a single putt rolled true.
They also ran out of carts, so I was unable to get on the course at my tee time. I was supposed to go off at noon, but a cart wasn't available until 12:45. Yes, I waited 45 minutes after my tee time to even get a cart.
Safe to say I really won't be returning to Timberview ever again
Course good for beginner or intermediate golfers
Good value for the money
Course is a little rough but the pace of play was very good and the staff was friendly
Worst green conditions I have ever seen.
I took my wife out for her first round in a few years to get some swings in and new this was a good course to start her at, since it is fairly easy and never crowded. I was not too disappointed in the shape of the fairways and tee boxes, but as we got to the first green, I couldn't believe how bad this course has let the greens get.
They looked like they had not been mowed all year, and every one of them had dry spots and cracks. If you were outside of a 20 ft. putt, you may as well chip because your ball is not getting near the hole, no matter how hard you hit it. Thankfully, it was only $15 to play 9 holes, or I would have went in and asked for my money back.
Course was not worth the money
Understanding that weather conditions haven't been the finest, with the course charging regular rates I expected the course to be in good shape. However, the greens were firm, burnt out/cracking, yet wooly (almost like putting on a fairway) at the same time. I can tolerate all other aspects of a course for the money, but virtually unplayable greens is unacceptable.
Beginner/Kids course
I mow my yard to better standards. The "fairways" were tall and in most places the rough looked like it was healthier grass. The course was pretty tight and was a fun challenge off the tee; most holes were fairly short; the greens were incredibly slow and unkempt; I wouldnt play this course again unless it was free and I was drinking heavily.
It's winter in Ohio
We had driven down from Cleveland to find some place that had less snow. The course still had a moderate amount of snow coverage and the ground was frozen below the surface with a couple greens still covered in snow, but it was open for play. It really does look like a real nice layout. Jody had checked us in and made a fresh pot of coffee for us at the turn, couldn't have been any more accommodating. I would really like to see the course when the leaves grow back and it's greener. But, for this time of year and the price we paid, we really were impressed. I can't thank them enough for all they did for us!
Worst course in Central Ohio
Had a 7:22am tee time. There were groups ahead if us but the club house / pro shop was not open. We grabbed keys for carts and just started playing. The greens were laughable. They looked like they hadn't been cut in days. There were dead spots where a person had stepped in grass killer and walked all over 2 of the greens, and other spots where you could tell the hole hadn't been moved for days. The fairways (if you can call them that ) are crabgrass and as long as the rough at most courses. The creeks are covered in Green algae. Yes, we only paid $22, but felt it wasn't even worth that. Half the trees are either dead, or dying. The back 9 was in slightly better shape than the front 9, but overall, I would NEVER play here again....even if it were free. I have played most courses in Central Ohio and I dare someone to find one in worst shape than this one.
needs alot of attention
I was very suprised how bad the conditions on the course were...
Wasn't in very good shape.
Very dry, choppy, seems funny to have a nice parking lot and nice building but the whole coarse was gravel paths.
