Timberlake Golf Course
Good course to play. The greens were in excellent shape
Golf ruined by SLOW PLAY
Our twosome had long waiting times on each shot...it took us over 5 1/2 hours to play even though we skipped the last hole, Will not ever play this course on the weekend.
Ok course with some bumpy cart paths
This course has some of the narrowest fairways I’ve played around the area. The front 9 holes are fairly mediocre and tight with some improvement on the back 9. The 9th hole and the final 5-6 holes are fun with interspersed lakes and pretty good scenery Thankfully I was paired with another guy who had played there several times and knew the layout…otherwise, this being my first time, I would’ve been lost with multiple holes having hidden lakes and rough. The pace of play was very slow with multiple foursomes of older gentlemen playing earlier on weekday mornings apparently but if you go in the afternoon it may clear up a bit. The huge downfall of this course is the old carts and horrible cart paths. I’m talking the worst I’ve ever seen with the bumps so bad that you had to check it things were flying out of your cart and a couple of times they did. And the cart i used had a rip in the seat, would backfire when I was pulling away slowly from where I had hit, and the worst brakes of any cart I’ve used. They would stay locked even when the cart was going 10 mph. Overall an ok course but I’ll probably try other courses around the area, especially with them being cheaper on golf now comparatively.
Good course for the price
Was too crowded for the first 4 holes given how close they are together, people were driving all over across our fairways to play errant tee shots. In fairness it was Father’s Day so crowds were to be expected- but with some of the golfers that were out there- some of the holes felt borderline dangerous, may have to spread tee times out a little more.
Other than that, the course was beautiful, greens were great, a good course for the price.
Great course
Wide open front 9 with a narrow back 9. Course was overall in good shape with just a few holes having a few small weeds on the green.
Beautiful course
The pace of play was off but it was a holiday. Course very well maintained. Cart paths were rough. Would definitely play again
Great day in Staunton
Timber Lakes is an awesome place. We really enjoyed the layout the clubhouse and staff. Such a great atmosphere all the way around. We will be back and I highly recommend. Dave does a great job and makes you feel welcome.

Diamond in the rough
Anyone is the STL/SW IL area needs to check this course out. Great for all levels! Fairways are perfect, greens are in excellent condition and multiple ones are double tiered. Holes 13-16 are 4 of the toughest holes I’ve ever played. Not doubt worth the drive to play this fantastic course.
Great challenge course
Playing Timber Lakes starts out pretty straight forward, but the Timber trap on the back nine really makes a golfer use every club in the bag. Between the subtle (and sometimes hidden) water holes and the uniquely shaped greens with undulations, this course is a treat. I would recommend taking the time to experience this layout.
