Fallen Timbers Fairways

I’m writing to share our disappointment with how a recent situation was handled at Fallen Timbers Golf Course involving my two sons. My younger son had arrived to play a round of golf—something he has done more than 50 times at this course—while his older brother simply dropped him off and briefly returned to the parking lot to retrieve something from the car before leaving.

Shortly after the older brother had left the premises, the owner confronted my younger son, accusing him of attempting to help someone golf for free. My son politely tried to explain that his brother had only been there to drop him off and retrieve an item from the car, but the owner refused to listen or engage in a calm, adult conversation. Instead, he was rude, dismissive, and refused to let my son speak.

The situation escalated when the owner removed the key from the golf cart and began threatening to call the police, clearly trying to intimidate a young man who had done nothing wrong. He then told my son to never come back, which was especially hurtful given that my son has always enjoyed this course and has been a regular golfer there for years.

To make matters worse, no refund was offered, even though my son had already paid for his round. He left the course feeling deeply hurt, embarrassed, and extremely sad about how he was treated—especially by someone in a leadership role at a place he once felt welcome.

We understand the importance of upholding rules, but this situation called for a respectful conversation, not accusations and threats. I hope Fallen Timbers Golf Course takes this feedback seriously and reflects on how they treat their loyal customers, especially young people who have supported their business time and time again.

No one their to check us in when we arrived for t time.

T boxes soil is harder than concrete.

League play with local schools seriously hampered gameplay.

Coaches, greens keepers, and other workers all over the course hindering gameplay. Random people on the course collecting golf balls holding us up, looking at us like we are the problem.

Group of young boys in front of us just trashing the greens and leaving the flags out.

Do better.

This course has potential, but that potential isn't being lived up to. It's simply not maintained. Fairways are hard as a rock from never being watered. Sticking a green is like trying to stick it on a concrete pad. The greens that are watered enough to stick one on are covered in pock marks from people not repairing their ball marks. In the rare instance someone creates a divot, there's no chance of it getting replaced. I gave this course three chances during three different times of year. I wanted to give the poor conditions the benefit of a doubt thinking that maybe the weather played a big role, but that's not it. The course simply isn't maintained by the management or respected by those who play it. Their clubhouse wasn't bad though, for what that's worth.

The course isn't bad and is actually quite enjoyable and the price has always been reasonable. I don't get out very often but I usually golf here a couple of times a year. That is over. My low rating is attributed to the very poor management and practices. Myself and a friend went out for 18 early afternoon on a weekday. The front nine went great, there were several groups ahead of us but it moved along very well and even though it was two of us with a cart we never had to wait. When we made the turn we ran into a group of 5. After waiting behind them we decided it wasn't worth the wait and skipped a par 3 they were taking forever to play. We made it a couple more holes and ran into more slow groups that were not on the front nine. After a lot of waiting we just called it a day. When we went into the club house to let management know about the issues we were met with discourtesy and belligerence. We were told that there isn't a problem and that we were just looking for a free pass. I don't get out often so I when I do I'd just like to have an enjoyable round. Don't assume that if you are playing 18 that you'll be able to play the back on the same day or that you won't be stuck behind large groups. And whatever you do don't question course policy.

The only reason the pace of play was so great was because there was literally not a single other person on the course at the same time as me at 1 p.m. The tee boxes had no indication to what hole it was as I struggled to look at the map on the scorecard after every hole. Every Teebox was scorched and had about 100 broken tees littered everywhere that you had to move out of the way so you didn’t step on them as you swung. Fairways were patchy, if you unfortunately missed a fairway and landed in the rough, it bounced so high you would’ve thought you had a cart path they were so rockhard. Overall for $25 my experience at this golf course was the worst I’ve ever had. You shouldn’t have to struggle to find out if you’re hitting on the right hole or not! I do not recommend this course whatsoever, you will be disappointed if you golf here.

Could be a fun course with fun layout but the pace of play was terrible and some random kids tearing up the course on a golf cart. Low funds hold this course back I am sure.

Had an 8 am tee time. Literally every hole, except for 2, had either a tractor or mower on it. I’m not a good enough player where I need anymore challenges on a course like this. I had one shot that I had to take with a mower running 4 feet from my ball. It’s a shame because other than some mud here and there it’s a nice challenging course, but we won’t be returning because we’ve never seen anything like this.

Overall, the course was nice and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Early Spring rains made it incredibly muddy so some areas of the cart paths and some holes were impassable. In other areas, the grass was pretty long resulting in more than average lost golf balls. There were several water pumps throughout the course so the staff was working hard to eliminate the excess water. I liked this course and will go back again provided I can acquire another deep discount for 18 holes with cart.

My only complaint about Fallen Timbers was that some of the greens were in poor shape.Lack of rain in the area has been a problem.

The course was in ok shape. Pace of play is usually an issue at this course. I have played in the weekend morning and weekday twilight.

Clubhouse was nice. Course layout, decent. Course conditions, POOR. Losing a number of greens as they are burnt out. Fairways, brown. Tees, brown and hard - could barely put a tee in the ground. This course desperately need an irrigation system.

The course was in decent shape. Tee boxes were like asphalt but the greens were pretty good. Good value and would recommend to others.
