Not merely a tough tee-to-green hole, the par-3 twelfth also features a strongly contoured green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/19/2023

The fourteenth ranks as the most difficult par-4 at Timberlin from the men’s tees. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/19/2023

At the par-3 sixteenth, the tee shot will be aimed at a hilltop green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/19/2023

One of the Timberlin’s best holes, the par-4 ninth challenges you from tee to cup. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/19/2023

The tenth’s green is elevated, like most on the back nine. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/30/2023

At twelve, a mid-length par-3, the large pond is often part of the proceedings. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/30/2023

Thirteen, a par-5 that borders Southington Road, will demand good shotmaking for a GIR. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/30/2023

Hole seventeen can be the source of disappointment if the tee ball doesn’t land in play, but it can also be a birdie hole when it does. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/30/2023

A mid-length par-3, the fourth plays to this fortified green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/13/2022

Six, a strategic and challenging five-par, finishes on a tilted green that invites three-putting. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/13/2022

The green at eight, perhaps the best short four-par at Timbelin, as seen in a pool of late-afternoon light. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/13/2022

For some, twelve may prove to be the toughest par-3 at Timberlin. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/15/2022

Fourteen is fraught with trouble off the tee, but less so into its green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/15/2022

The view from tee seventeen stretches well beyond the golf course. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/15/2022

View of the 6th, looking back to tee. Timberlin’s fairways generally provide ample “airspace,” allowing players to either draw or fade drives. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/20/2022

Ten, Par-5, 498. This “road hole,” though scattered with pesky hazards, still offers a birdie opportunity when played well. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/20/2022

Fourteen, Par-4, 410. Straightaway hole the ends on this perched green. A demanding par. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/20/2022

Versatile Track
Good course for all levels with a wide range of tee boxes. Par 3's are challenging from the back. Course is forgiving of slightly errant drives as its wider open than it appears from the tee boxes. Greens were a bit slow but true and had nice breaks.

Amazing experience
Great golf course. Played from the tips to give myself an extra challenge and boy did I succeed. The staff here is the best around. Golf course was in great shape. Greens are tough but fair. Would recommend Timberlin to anyone. Go here to "play where the players play."

Very well maintained.
Course overall was in really nice shape.
Only BIG problem was there was no water on the course. They have two fountain water stations, neither of which was working. Sorry, for a course of this calibre to not have water, no excuse.

No "Welcome Mats" Here
Tees, fairways & greens in good shape. Other than the F&B staff, not a very welcoming vibe as a first time (last time!) visitor.

Excellent Track
I really enjoy this course. Its challenging, with good length from the blue tees. Its wooded or tight on some holes, and wide open on others. Greens are lightning fast and a real challenge. The course is in great shape, the grounds crew should be commended. The only issue I ever have with Timberlin is the pace of play. We tee'd off at 10:45 with another 2some. We made the turn at 1:15. And finished the round after 3:30, even though it was only 3 of us on the back 9. Too long for a round of golf anywhere..... Marshalls were on the course, but we didn't see them doing anything to speed up the pace of play. I would gladly play here again, but would need to find a less busy time. Please Timberlin Management, you have a wonderful course that is almost unplayable due to the extremely long rounds.

Slow
The ace was painfully slow! Waited on every single hole. Ranger was out but just sat and looked. Didn’t encourage groups ahead to speed up. Not fun!
