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
Good condition
Excellent course for the money. Member owned and in good shape. Greens very very fast which made it difficult. Some greens don’t hold well and some do. Only course on Lake Murray. Many holes have great views of the lake.
Tight
Nice facility from what we saw. The course was later out well as far as fairways but no room for error because it seemed that they built houses first and had to squeeze a golf course in between. As a first time player of the course, course layout on the scorecard or on hole markers would have been extremely helpful. Greens rolled well. Looked like a tough man tourney that weekend based on pins. ...would have been good to know as we started but became evident early on. If you play, pair up with a member unless you ride ahead on almost every hole.
Fun
Beautiful day for golf. Course very enjoyable and in great shape.
WOW Don't pass this one up if you are in the area
Excellent design with 6 memorable holes (4,12,15,16,17,18) on Lake Greenwood. Absolutely play it!!!
The Snake
As a local, I've been playing this course since it opened. Was once a par 72 now a 71 to make room for tennis courts. This course is tight as a tick on a hound dog and will eat you up if you miss the fairways. The course has seen its ups and downs as far as upkeep but It is in It's best shape ever. I highly recommend this course.
Timberlake in top shape
Golf course is in super condition, Scott is always looking out for you to have a great day on the course.
Great course for the money
Great course! Beautiful scenery and the food was excellent! Probably the best around!
Great course for the money!
Friendly staff, fun course for the money. Will definitely be back again.
Nice layout but poorly maintained
The course has a good layout with some moderately challenging holes and great views of the lake but the course is poorly maintained with dry fairways, rock hard greens and cart paths so deplorably maintained that in some cases they are nearly impassable.
The restaurant in the clubhouse is only open part time and is closed most of the time that the course is opened so there is often no place to meet and socialize after a round of golf.
Sorry, made a geographical error in my review of Timberlake, it's Lake Murray, not Lake Greenwood.
