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.

Pleasant

I had a nice round of golf here. The course is in a decent condition. Parkland type of course.

The quality of the bunkers is a bit varying, from perfect soft sand to hard with some gravel.

Some water features, with some holes ending in a green over the water.

Part of a complex, Would come back here.

5/31 Timberlane

Overall the play today was great minus the multiple foursomes not observing course etiquette and letting faster players through. Some of the greens have some spots that havent taken new sod and some of the fairways have dead spots. I would, and still plan to play at this course.

5/17 Timberlane

It was a good course and a good layout for being inside a city. The only downsides i saw were the carts could use a little TLC and the parking situation was less than desirable. There were parking spots that was directly outside the Pro Shop but that was for Members Only and the non-members parking area was nothing special at all.

Improving

Timberlane is coming along. The neighborhood tax put in place to support the club and course seems to have breathed life into this community center on the Westbank. The course overall has seen a dramatic improvement in greens' conditions, owning to better drainage and resodding of troubled patches. The course still has a little ways to go before I'd be willing to give it 5 stars, but for the price it is the best deal in the NOLA area.
