Timberlake Country Club
About
Timberlake Country Club in Chapin sits on the shores of Lake Murray, just outside of Columbia in the Midlands of South Carolina. The classic design is reminiscent of traditional Scottish links courses, featuring a combination of water and pot bunkers as well as large grassy swales. The golf course sprawls across rolling hills, which provide plenty of contours and elevation changes. From the elevated tees, golfers will have a dramatic view of the rugged landscape. The golf course is mostly open though there are a few stands of mature trees that can be troublesome if you're not careful. The cavernous bunkers and carefully molded mounding present formidable challenges that will test even the best golfers. In addition to the golf course, Timberlake also offers a full driving range and practice green as well as tennis courts and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

4th hole par three. Pond in front and lake to right and back Photo submitted by u631580812 on 07/01/2019
Great Condition
Course is in great condition. Greens are firm and fast. Be prepared for putts to run out more than you think. I'll certainly play again.
Played masters week, this was the best course we played searching with golfadvisor for a decent course at an affordable price
We were impressed by the entire experience. Clubhouse, dining, pro shop were all top notch. High end homes surround the course but don’t make it tight at all. If I could have rescheduled my other tee times I would have only played here. The pro shop expected the course to improve in the coming months with new staff and the weather.
Awesome course
The course was in very good condition. What impressed me the most was the layout of each hole.
Enjoyed playing
Fun course to play. Very friendly staff. Fairways had dormant grass but the greens were fairly quick. Would certainly play again when in the area.
A good course.
Course was in good condition for this time of year. Greens were fast and putted true. Would be nice to see a few earlier Hot Deals. Overall a fun round of golf and I would recommend playing the course.
Nephew and I wanted to golf some where different, I wanted him to experience a great course ,under the condition of all the rain we had,it was cart path only but we had a blast! It was in great shape considering the temp and weather. The only thing I would add is to have better markings or layout of course in a booklet! That would be helpful. But it was great shape ! Will golf again!!!
Always in good shape
Course was in great shape even though it rained all night before our tee time.
Thay have the best new carts well taken care of. Only thing that needs attention is the cart paths.
Great course
Good course, challenges you on almost every hole. Pretty good condition considering it’s winter time.
Beautiful course!
Today we played and it was a rainy day but it was warm and we managed to play whole round. Our first time here but we hope we can get back some time to play again. Great course and in great shape! It was very wet but there is grass everywhere so no muddy areas on course. What staff we saw was friendly! Highly recommend!

Good Round
Course is in good shape. Only golf course on Lake Murray. Good mix of holes . My senior group always enjoys it. Only complaint I have is that several greens are hard and do not hold very well. I am an advanced player and had 4 birdies today and some greens held well yet others ran out 30 to 40 feet. I always enjoy this course and the views of the lake are a huge plus.
Beautiful!!
We were passing through and picked this course through Golf Now. The views of the lake were stunning. The course was in good shape and we especially loved hole #4! Putting was my weakness since the greens were faster than I am used to. Go out and enjoys this course!
Nice day
Timberlake is one of my favorites & we play it several times a year.
Good summer shape
Timberlake is in good shape. Played at 12:30 and saw no other players on the course. Fairways are in great shape. They cut their greens very short and fast. Many greens are hard and difficult to hold. We saw very few if any ball marks on greens. Played there many times and it’s in good summertime shape. Looked like the greens needed more water.
