About
When Timberlane Golf & Recreation opened in 1959 as Timerlane Country Club, it was the first private golf club on the west bank of the Mississippi. The oaks planted at that time have beautifully matured, adding to both the scenery and difficulty of the golf course. Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed the course, crafting a challenging test that has been ranked as one of the most difficult golf courses in the country. You'll have to contend with 80 strategically placed sand bunkers and 17 different water hazards. While the course is not overly punishing, you'll have to be prepared to have every aspect of your game tested. Before tackling Timberlane''s golf course you may find it helpful to warm up using the club's all-grass driving range and you can use the large putting green to practice with putting, chipping, and sand play.

Weather delays
Couldn't play rain storm caused closer before our tee time but we'll be back
Westbank new and improved Hidden Gem
Staff and course are great. Not to mention that food at the restaurant
Course need work
I played with a buddy of mine on 6/4/24 and I have to say the greens have been on a steady decline the last couple of months. Thursday some of them were impossible to putt where the ball landed. Whether is was divots, patches of dirt or sand it was not what I expected when playing Timberlane. Instead of leading the pack of local courses they have fell back to the pack. They need to adjust their prices accordingly.
Play for sure
For all the rain the area had gotten, course had no standing water nor soggy, especially compared to B.O. North which was saturated and hadn’t been cut in weeks. Greens had some bad spots, but overall were good. Definitely will play again.
Trees everywhere!
Had a tough day with the driver which made for some interesting recovery shots. The course is in good shape. The pace of play was a little slow and no Marshall on the course to help.

Friendly staff and great food in restaurant.
Overall had a great time.
Will be back soon.
Nice course. Got a last minute tee time 8am. Pairs up with a stranger and ran the course lightening fast. (May have gotten backed up later in the morning). Overall great condition with some good challenges for new golfers.
Face Passed
My husband and I absolutely love this course however, the pace of play was very fast and we were the pass-through by three groups and a fourth one quickly came up behind us. We’re not the best golfers, but generally play is not that fast behind me. other than that, the greens were pretty perfect and the driving range was awesome.
1+ Hr Wait for Golf Carts
Ended up having to wait over an hour because no carts were available. When I checked in, the lady in the pro shop said it would be maybe 15-20 mins. There were 2 groups already waiting, so that seemed pretty reasonable. But the early morning groups were really slow to finish and free up the carts. Not sure if this is a typical occurrence on weekend mornings, but I'm not going back to find out anytime soon. I believe the staff were doing the best that they could, but I would be weary of booking a tee time between 10 am and noon on the weekends. Overall course conditions were pretty average.
The course continues to get better.
Staff was great. Course had a few issues on the greens but other than that it was a great day of golf.
Great course and better customer service
I played on Friday, March 27th and the experience was phenomenal. The course is in the best condition I have seen in a few years. The fairways rival those of TPC, Grand Ridge and English Turn. What seperates Timberlane from the others has to be the customer service. Abby is always refreshing to see during the week and the young lady behind the desk on weekends is simply amazing. These two are a big part of why we come. I wish other courses on the westbank would take pride in their course like Timberlane does!
Slightly overpriced
Booked online to play Timberlane. Staff was very helpful and friendly. When we went off there was a group of 5 ahead of us. We were told they play there often and play fast. Our group is not the most consistent group but we have fun. We had to wait on the group in front of us on almost every hole and that was looking for our ball on many occasions. Course was in ok condition. Most greens had dead spots on them. Hopefully green and fairways will get better as weather improves.
Definitely will be going again
Beautiful course, friendly and helpful staff. Food was great and staff inside restaurant was really nice.
