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.

Greens and traps
Overall good experience. Found staff to be accommodating and friendly.
Greens had been sanded recently ans a few had surface blemishes. Basic winter conditions. Traps did not seem consistent from hole to hole.
Not Enough Time
Greens were a little sandy. Course was in good shape. Had a foursome in front that wouldn’t let me play through so couldn’t finish all 18. Great course though for the money.
Impressive
Really is impressive to see where this track has come. Kudos to the greens keepers and the staff. Greens are in fantastic shape as well as the turf from where it was a year ago. Keep up the great work!!
Excellent golf course, super staff
I always enjoy playing golf out at Timberlane. The course has very fine, elevated green complexes and the fairways are lined with stately oak trees. The staff are very friendly and make you feel right at home. Abby in the pro shop and Carina in Café Hope are always there with a smile and provide excellent service. It's a really nice place to play on the west bank in the New Orleans area.
Aside from being stuck behind a sixsome (why would the marshal let a group of 6 go off?) it was a good day!
Satisfied Member
I sincerely appreciate all the hard work the entire staff has done this past year and especially after hurricane Ida in order to get Timberlane back up and open for play in a relatively short time. I have personally thank many of the workers on the course during my play for their hard work and attention to detail in cleaning up tree branches, debris, trimming trees and general course maintenance and work on the course to improve the overall condition and playability for all members, guest and playing public etc. A special thanks goes out to especially Abby and the golf staff who should be recognized for their friendly, courteous and helpful service on a daily basis. Sorry I don’t know everyone’s name but all Timberlane employees should be commended for their dedication to detail, hard work, and outstanding effort to make Timberlane the best golf course and club in the Metro New Orleans area bar none. With sincere appreciation.
Very satisfied member, Bill Tifft
