Course Highlights
The course layout delivers a striking contrast between an open, links-style front nine and a tighter, more challenging back nine. Consistently well-maintained conditions, friendly staff, and smooth pace of play make this course well worth the trip.

Enjoyable level of difficulty

Only draw back was several groups of 5 in front of us so a lot of waiting.

Nice course

Greens were wonderful for late fall. Cut nice very green. A few fairways were little brown but it was November 1. Had to be accepted in Midwest. Definitely go back again

Absolute dog track.

A 4 1/2 star rating is beyond absurd. No grass in the fairways. It’s 80% hardpan out there. Greens were a good 1/4 inch tall. It’s unplayable in its current condition. As a course operator you have 1 job; try to make it perfect. If it takes hand watering, that’s what you do. With the prices these courses charge, I expect everything that is possible to be done. No excuses. Do your job

Fun day at Timber Lakes

I've played the course before and it's a nice track which is why I keep coming back.The course is well maintained and a nice layout. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I'd recommend trying it out; I'll definitely play there again.

Great Course

This place is fantastic, immaculate shape. The staff was super friendly and the course is always tough, especially the last 4 on the back. The only slight concern, it's not GHIN rated, so if that matters to you, it may not be for you, but it's a great place to play.

Love the openness of the front nine and the total opposite on the back nine. Great course and will definitely be back to play again

Fun Challenge

The course is always in good shape and offers a real contrast between Links and Parkland style golf on the front and back 9. Worth the drive!

Course was in great shape

Conditions were excellent, course is very well maintained. Challenging but fun layout, saw plenty of wildlife, pace of play was great. Not a bad word to say about the course. My play however, thats a different story.
