Greens rolled perfectly

Chilly, rainy, November day. Not really anyone else out on the course. We didn't mind a bit because the course was in great shape. The greens were good for mid summer let alone late fall. Very enjoyable day. Get out as play here if weather permits before end of season. It's worth it!

Great day at Timberlin ‼️

Played with 3 other GOLFNOWERS!

Had a great time.!

Pace was slow due to everyone wanting to play golf on a nice autumn day.

Considering all the rain from the past week the course was in good shape.

Sand traps were as expected.

Must say the Starter did a great job keeping everyone organized and accommodated several “ no tee time” golfers to get them out.

Total Confusion!

Hard to believe but there was no starter assigned to the tees this morning, he was busy giving lessons.

I signed up as single to play with 3 other GOLFNOW golfers It never happened!

Seems my 3 some went out of the back nine by mistake---no starter.

I was bypassed as a single by 4 groups on the first tee. I had actually teed off on the 10th and hit a second shot, told to pick it up. Then teed off on the first and again had to pick it up. Was told my lost 3some is coming back to the first tee. All in all waited over 30 minutes, and i arrived an hour prior to my tee time!

I finally just asked for a refund and went home to cut the grass!

Tip for the golf course.....DO NOT GO WITHOUT THE STARTER! HE IS THE BRAINS OF THE OPERATION!

Don't know if I will return!

Hi

I appreciate the reply however, your generic “slow pace of play” response was not the issue.

You should really monitor your generic form letters. Way off the mark.

Thank you

Great time and wonderful food

Played in a nine and dine at Timberlin and everyone was so nice. The course is special and in great shape. Go on a Friday and have the king cut prime rib after your round. You won't care how you played!!

Florida golfer

For a public course, the course is worth playing. Greens were slow and pretty marked up. Liked the layout. Gives you a chance to work some of your shots. Greens were very receptive when I played.

Fantastic Course and even better service/course staff

I cannot tell you how great it was to play this hot morning. My friend from FL forgot his shoes and the pro shop was more than accomaditing with him and he actually ended up buying a brand new pair at a great deal. Arman was the best golf starter! He and everyone at the course had the best attitude and were more than helpful on a very hot day. We ate at the restaurant after our round and WOW the Ruben was to die for!! I highly recommend this course to anyone and everyone. Oh and by the way they have night golf events too

Greens in brutal shape

Overall the course played well. Fairways were in great shape & Sand traps were pure sand.

What happened to your greens???? Arrated in the past 2 or 3 weeks??

Sand and tiny stones deflected many of our putts. The greens were extremely bumpy growing longer putts off line. We could have really scored well today if the greens were puttable. .

Great day!

Greens and fairways were beautiful.

Hey golfers..... repair your ballot marks & divots!

A lot of “local members” seem to push their way onto the course. Heard several TELL the started they have no tee time and to get them out now. ( not fair to the golf course)

For a Muni course.... great job Berlin!

I will be back !

Needs a ranger

Enjoyed the layout and the meal afterwards. Maybe the slowest group ever in front of us. Was hoping to see a ranger but it never happened. They backed up the whole course. 5:15 on a day that wasn’t real busy at that time of day.

Hidden gem in CT

Played Timberlin Golf Club for the first time in 15-plus years. What a wonderful course!!! Haven’t played it in years because it is a hike from where I live. However, I got a GolfNow Hot Deal, which made it worth the drive. The course has a wonderful, scenic layout. Course is in great condition and it was nice to see workers out there improving the condition of Timberlin. Sand traps were in perfect condition. I should know because I probably found at least 8 of them. I need to play the course on a calmer day. Had crazy weather that ushered in 30 MPH wind gusts, downpours and then sun, back to rain and blustery wind. It was almost like British Open weather. However, I will definitely be back, Hot Deal or not. Totally worth the drive! Great job!!!
