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
Definitely worth playing again
First time at Timberlake and it was excellent. The fairways and greens are in tip top shape, even with the hot Columbia summer temps. Eight deer came out to greet us on #15. Nice to have a gallery that doesn't chatter in your backswing... ;-) A little course knowledge will help my scoring next time. Challenging but not obnoxious. Worth the drive, for sure!
Great shape!!
Course is in outstanding condition. It's easily top 10 around, if not top 5. Highly recommend, especially as a hot deal!!
You will enjoy you golf day
My first time at Timberlake. The staff was friendly and informative. The course was in excellent condition and the greens putted true, no bumps or bare spots. All the players on the course we're VERY courteous.
I am going to play again, great value for the money
.
Fun Course, not overly long or Difficult
This course is really a bargain on golf now, I played for $20. Worth it. Great greens and fairways, breeze coming off of lake Murray offset the 95 degree heat, played by myself and finished in 2 hours 18 minutes. Not a difficult course and not long at all. A lot of fun.
Timberlake
course was good, some tee's were lacking in grass, but overall in good condition. Greens were good, putted well and reasonable speed this time of year with the heat.
Good Course Will Play Again
This course was in great condition. The greens were plugged a week again so they were a little slow but in good condition. This is a tight course so you can't spray your tee shots. I played with some of the members and come to find out this was DJ's high school course.
Golfing
Very nice coarse. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food was good in clubhouse grill.
Up to par
Played Timberlake on Sunday morning 5/31 and the course was in excellent condition.
Timberlake
I grew up in Chapin and played high school golf. Timberlake was our home course! This course is one of my favorite layouts but has always struggled! Yesterday the course was in the best condition I have ever seen it! Kudos to the staff for getting the course this way!
pleasantly surprised...
Hadn't played out there in a few years. Was very pleasantly surprised by new clubhouse and facilities. Course looked better than ever and was worth the drive.
Great Value
Nice course with enough challenge, golf carts were clean and ran well, nice facilities, friendly staff.
Beautiful Course in excellent condition.
Timberlake is a beautiful course in excellent condition. The only negative is the cart paths need some work (bumpy).
Best Course in the Midlands for the Money
Despite poor conditions (right after a thunder storm), this course impressed. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and courteous. The course winds through a couple neighborhoods and has four holes on Lake Murray. The fairways are tight on some holes and the rough is thick and challenging. For a course open to the public, it features the upkeep of a more exclusive club.
Some greens were a big banged up, however in comparison to other great deals in the area, this is a gem of a course.
The par 3s feature enough water to play mind games with you but are nice pars if you get on the greens. The greens are not too fast or too slow.
The course is well maintained.
I will be back soon.
Course was in good shape
The course was in extremely good shape for the hot weather and lack of rain we've had in the area.
The greens were very fast. Great day of golf.
Good value
Enjoyed my round on this nice layout. Some beautiful holes along the lake and a good mixture of easy and hard holes. Staff was friendly and pace of play was great. Condition was average but if it was up a notch I would put this course as one of the best in the Columbia area.
Good Value
Course can be a challenge. Greens can be fast and rough can be very difficult. Layout is beautiful and I really enjoy the views of the lake. A good bit of elevation change. Played the course 3 times in the last month with completely different conditions each time, but course always holds up. Clubhouse and staff are extremely nice. Course condition is pretty good despite the recent lack of rain. Would recommend this course to anyone in Columbia area looking for an interesting round.
Ok
Staff is very friendly. Course is a little tight and rough. Just feels small. Greens were very hard but lack of rain explains a bit. Good value for the money. Overall it was ok.
Great Views on the Lake
I really like this course. Played there 3 times in the last month in varying conditions and the course held up in all of them. Fairways and greens in excellent shape and staff friendliness exceeds my expectations. The new clubhouse is pretty chill as well. When I played on Saturday morning I (and subsequent members of my party) were greeted at our vehicle with a cart. Members and staff seem very knowledgable and friendly. This course can be difficult with many scoring opportunities as well. I think the way they have the ninth green now as a slight dogleg right is an improvement over when the club opened. Really excellent layout with every hole having something memorable to it. Greens can be fast later in the day and the rough can be wicked in the morning. One of the best courses in the midlands in my opinion.
great value
very nice course can say you want to keep ball in play not very forgiving if you miss the fairways.
