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
Best value in Columbia this time of year.
Course is in great shape. Greens are fast. Worth the drive.
This course has a great layout
Beautiful course that winds along Lake Murrray. Changing elevations, good conditions, and great price!
Tough greens and many interesting holes.
Very good course and well worth playing. Can play it back and get all the challenge you want. Certainly would play it again.
Timberlake in Oct
Price was great because of the Golf now discount. Course was beautiful, moderate to challenging, and overall forgiving. Par 3's were fun! Cart path was horrible! Pot holes, broken pavement, in desperate need of repair. Signage to hole #1 should be improved. Pro shop nothing to write home about.
Good course.
Good course. Out of the way but worth the trip. Not long, but plenty challenging. Good variety of holes. Greens were average, medium speed, smooth putting, held approaches well.
Great pace of play. Great value.
Very challanging course .. laid out nice.
The cartpaths are in need of much attention. The greens are very fast due to being cut to short.
Excellent course and professional staff.
This course has some challenging fairways. Lost a few balls in the three-inch rough but other than that it was a nice course.
Nice course but amenities lacking
Course is good, the pro shop amenities are lacking.
Great players course. Can be difficult for the beginner. Only course located on Lake Murray
Great layout. Puts a premium on your T-Shot. If you get the T-Ball in play you should have decent round. If not it could be a long day. Love this course.
The course was in very good condition.
This is a golfer friendly course. Nice layout, large fairways and greens. The course was in excellent condition.
Very nice layout.
I was very pleased with the course. Will play it again when I get back in the area.
Good value
Some short but challenging holes on back.greens sanded but rolled true. Everything else great.
Great greens, rolled true
Greens were in great shape and rolled true. Boxes could use some help, had some weeds.
Wonderful experience
The Course was in great shape, the holes require a varying shot selection. Will be back for sure.
Golfer friendly layout.
Nice course, nice people, with a layout that will test you but won't break you.
Beautiful and challenging course, great price
Had a great time at TCC. Wasn't very busy at all so we weren't rushed at all. Beautiful scenery, well attended greens, and challenging holes but not unrealistic. Definitely recommend this to anyone.
Great course
Course in great shape. Have played there the last few weekends. Staff is very friendly and the girl upstairs made a stiff drink.
Great fairways, greens roll true!
Great course well maintained. Some of the nicest greens around.
Nice layout, very lush and soft due to rain.
The course was in really good shape and the staff was friendly and helpful. Off the beaten path but worth the drive if you're able to secure a good price as I did on GolfNow.com. Many of the fairways are quite tight and accuracy off the tee is at a premium. Greens were slow but generally fairly small and undulated. The rough was not overly penal but the OB markers were not too far off the fairway on numerous holes.
Nice layout and good value for money.
It's an interesting layout. There are some easy holes and some very challenging holes. If you're straight off the tee box, every hole offers opportunities to score. Not much room for error off the tee. Spray your tee shot and there isn't much hope for a par-saving recovery. There are a handful of holes where water comes into play and requires strategic thinking. I like the layout. I like the well manicured fairways and tee boxes. Greens were just aerated and makes putting an unecessary challenge! Nonetheless, I will play this course multiple times.
