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.

Trash . Go play Lakewood
The girl at the front counter needs to improve her attitude. The greens are garbage , the fairways are long and they let s group of 5 seniors out who don't let people play though. This place is a joke.
Bad time to raise the green fee.
I’ve played this course multiple times for the price $23-$35. The greens were really nice. In fact we stop playing a course not too far from here because the greens were terrible We had to pay today at $45 the greens were atrocious.
Good Value
Played on Memorial Day, no starter so tee time was out the window. Fivesomes going off in front of us. Went out as a single when the rest of my group joined with another group to make another fivesome. Played in a little less than four hours after several groups let me play through.
The layout of the course is old school. The condition is middle of the road. Greens need help. Bunkers are shabby.
Looking for something new
I wanted to travel out of Baton Rouge to find a new place to play so I found timberlane on golf now for a good price so I booked it and made a ride the staff was very friendly and accommodating when I arrived....they have a nice driving range as well...the fairways were small with houses on each side some holds(nice big houses) the course has a lot of force carries and lots of bunkers(although I only got in one) the layout was very challenging...the only things was the greens were very fuzzy and slow which I was told was b/c they weren’t cut because of the weather( lots of rain recently) and some greens had bare spots which were covered with sand overall a nice trip I will be back ( especially if the greens get better)
Greens were punched but we weren’t notified. Otherwise course was great
Timberlane
Beautiful course with all the old oak trees. Plenty of hazards. Greens a little rough due to recent aeration.
Great Greens
I played here a few years ago. The new greens are great, Good course that can play very long, Thank goodness for up tees. Course in very good shape . Will definitely play again. I don’t think you can find better greens anywhere.
Greens
Never saw the greens looking nice like this keep up the good work
good for the buck
Fairways need some works. It’s only spring and the fairways is already hard. I can’t imagine when summer comes how much harder it gets
The Greens
Man they have really gotten their greens together (WOW)
Good for the money
Good bargain, but pace of play was slow. No one out on the course to speed up play.
