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.

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.
Better the 2nd time
I played Timberview a few weeks ago, for the first time, and was disappointed with the condition of the fairways, rough, and especially the greens.
I played it again today and the course was in somewhat better shape. the greens still had some bare spots but it looked like the ball marks were repaired and they had a better roll. The rough was cut and it was easier to find balls in the rough and on the fairway. The fairways still don't stand out well on some holes but it was much better this round.
For the $$ they charge, this is a pretty decent course and I will play it more often if the greens and rough stay in the same shape they were today.
Ok - but nothing special
Golf course was good, except there is a lot of clover hard to find a tee shot, even a good one.
The horse flies were really bad!!!!
I'll play on dirt for $7
The course was in a little bit of disarray but I played for SEVEN DOLLARS!! That's like a cup of coffee. Greens played well except for a weed every now and again. Rough and fairway very similar in term of cut and condition. Very friendly staff. Will be back for under $10! Very cool semi island green par 3 as well.
Great Hot Deal
This course isn't exactly the nicest course around, but for $6 from a hot deal, I would definitely recommend it.
Not impressed
Nice layout but the fairways and rough were weed infested. Greens were in decent shape but overall this course looks like it's being neglected.
Left unattended
I was somewhat disappointed with the condition of the course. The fairways were not determinable in many spots and had a number of weeds growing in them. The greens were in terrible shape for most of the course. Ball marks were not fix and many greens had bare marks. One hole had a stand of trees 40 yards in front of the tee box that force the player to try to either wrap a shot around it at an extreme left angle or hit to an out of bounds area. A number of holes did not match the score card diagrams and we we forced to just hit an hope for the best.
I did like how many of the holes force you to be precise with your tee shot with tight tree lined fairways, but this was not enough to overcome the obvious lack of care and overall poor condition of the course
Summer Blight
My son and I quit after 9 holes. There was water everywhere. The rough was covered with dandelions and many fairways were clover covered. Greens were holding because they were soaking wet. Greens were cut well but were covered with brown spots. There were places where we left our balls in the fairway because we couldn't get to them without walking through three to five inches of water. When we went in after nine, we said we weren't planning to go back out. The staff said "yep, it's wet out there." They should never have sent us out or at least warned us before we went out. I understand the water but the grass cutting and weeds and attitude of the personnel have nothing to do with the rain.
Greens are simulated moon surface
Timberview has a sizeable clubhouse with reasonable food and drink prices. That pretty much it for the positives. The golf course itself in 2014 is nothing short of a disaster. Despite a relatively cool, wet summer so far, the fairways are thin and the rough is nothing but clover. The greens are the largest disappointment. I've never seen so many ball marks in my life. You will struggle to find a putt that won't roll over at least one not fully repaired ball mark. The layout is quite easy, with only a few holes bringing any notable challenge from tee to green. Any serious golfer should avoid this course until the maintenance is seriously upgraded.
Fore
Course extremely wet. Standing water in sand traps. Ruff is quite long with lots of clover(makes finding ball difficult). Greens were in great shape considering how much rain we received. fairways were very soft and wet, grass was long. Not surprising considering all the rain.
Course on a good day is challenging and fun to play. Normally not crowded and pace of play is above average.
Like with most courses players need to be considerate and replace divets and ball marks on the greens.
