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.

Slow Play
Took 3+ hours to play front 9. Reason given was thete was senior tournament earlier in the day. There were 5 groups on 7th hole tee box. Yes, 5 groups. As we were driving down hole 9 fairway, an employee drove up and advised we would be given a free round play for the inconvenience. When round completed, different employee gave free play for 9 holes. Response was we were able to finish 18 holes. Reason for this was many groups left after offer made. Very disappointed a change had been to original offer. Improvement needed on managing tee times when there is tournament.
Beautiful
First time playing here in 5 years. To be honest, significant price increase kept me away. There are so many improvements. Tee to green course is fantastic. Cart paths freshly paved so smooth throughout course. Will be back for sure.
Greens were sandy and fluffy
The course layout is always appreciated. Course was in good condition but the greens were not. Appeared to be recently aerated, left long and extremely sandy.
Enjoyed the course
This was the first time my husband and I played here. We found the course challenging but fun. We followed a twosome who joined another twosome (they seemed to know each other) and their pace of play was rather slow once that happened. Thankfully they only played nine and after that the pace was great. The bunkers could use some attention, but the rest of the course was well cared for.
Solid course
Played in a foursome after a rain event the day before. Was cart path only so I asked to walk but was told they didn't allow that after 9am. Pace of play was super slow anyway, so me walking would not have been an issue. But no worries, I'll just book earlier next time.
Other than that, tees and faiways were in good shape. The greens were consistent and amazing! Despite the rain, they were firm but forgiving.
Will definitely book here again.
Traveling Round
This is a target course that needs to be played several times to feel comfortable with club selections. Course is well maintained and perhaps a little pricey for what it is.
The course is in great shape now, I played here 10 years ago, they put a lot of work into improving the golf course and I see big and new improvements on a fairways and greens
Great course
This course has come a long way in the past few years. Staff was A-1 and thinking about becoming a member. Will play here again. El Sid
Stunning layout and views
The course was great, the layout was excellent and some of the approaches to greens were fantastic I left my range finder on a cart and went the next day to see if it had been handed in and it had. Great staff.
Winter golf
Impressive conditions considering we had snow earlier this week. Some great views, fun and challenging holes. Would love to play it again once it warms up
Good play on the lake
Timberlake has been steadily improving over the years and now is an excellent play at the only course in Lake Murray. We've been members in the past and are happy to come back and experience all of the improvements to the course and the amenities. Will be back!
