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.

18th green! Sticking it close! Photo submitted by dahnguyen on 10/27/2015
Thankyou! We would love to have you back anytime!!
Greens in great shape
The course is in great shape. Greens were in very good shape. We had a sixsome in front of us. This shouldn't happen. They had at least 3 beginners. There is a starter for a reason. I was a single and met a lovely couple who I played the back nine with. It was a great time just pick up the pace.
Thankyou for the kind review! We appreciate the feedback and definitely do not allow sixsomes. I will get with the marshal and ensure this does not happen going forward.
Nice diversion from Bourbon Street
Nice course with excellent greens
Good layout with some carry holes
Well worth the visit
Thankyou!!!
Nice track
Surprisingly nice track! Pace of play was pretty good and the greens were in great shape. Fairways were marginal. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the outing.
Thankyou!! Please visit us again.
Great shape
Despite frequent rains in the New Orleans area over the past few weeks, the overall condition of the course was excellent! The greens were in fabulous condition; took time to repair ball marks on the greens from previous play.
Highly recommend playing this course! Kudos to the entire course attendants!
Greens in great shaoe
We try to play TPC when we can, but Timberlane is on the upswing and always our first choice after TPC. The greens this week were in excellent shape. Looks like they’re remodeling the whole clubhouse and golf shop, excited for Timberlane 2023.
Good shape!
A few months ago, heard the course was not in good shape. Played with 2 regulars and found the tee boxes, fairways and greens in pretty decent shape. The only drawback was all the sand traps were hard-pan, making greenside bunker shots very challenging. Impressed by big turnaround by superintendent and staff!! Keep up the great work!
Fun Round
Course was a little wet but was still 90 Degree rule, which is amazing. Course was in good shape. Greens could use a little upkeep.
Nice day on the links
The course is in great shape. Greens were very nice and slightly fast. Only negative was there were 4 twosomes in front of us. I wish the starter,here and elsewhere, would pair them up. It makes for a more enjoyable round. Play Timberlane. You will enjoy it.
Nice course
Course was in decent shape and pretty green considering all the cold weather we had recently. Some spots on some of the greens had been worked on and hadn’t recovered fully but it wasn’t enough to affect play. The cart path was really bumpy and should probably be replaced. I caught a great deal on Golf Now otherwise I am not sure I would pay full price for this course.
Love Timberlane
When the weather has been good leading up to your round at Timberlane you guaranteed an enjoyable round of golf. I say that because Timberlane has little to no drainage so if it's been raining for multiple days just before your round it'll be a slop fest. I played in the middle of one of the best weather periods of the year and the course was in great condition and although there were a lot of players the pace of play was pretty good.

Good morning, we would not normally respond to reviews like this but we believe this is an extremely unfair perspective after you verbally abused and insulted our staff. We don't condone behavior like yours on our golf course but we were kind enough to allow you to continue play after you cursed our starter out for reminding you of the rules. We are sorry for your "Bad experience" but would prefer if you did not return. Thankyou. - Golf Professional
