Nice Course, but......

Is a nice course, with friendly staff. However, Kemper Sports, or Howard County (who owns the course) is not really taking care. They spent millions of $ a few years ago and re-did the bunkers. Now they're crap, as simple basic maintenance is not being done. Is it too much to ask that they be (machine) raked once a day? No one replaces divots, or fixes ball marks on the greens, which has led to little maintenance of the course, other than to cut the grass! Save your money (as it is pricey), and other public courses are better maintained.

Timbers Staff handling Covid Professionally

During this unfortunate pandemic the staff at Timbers have demonstrated true professionalism in following safety guidelines intelligently. I have played here 4 times during the pandemic; each time the staff have been fully masked up and behind plexiglass in the Pro Shop and the Lunch counter. They have hand sanitizer available right at the front door and 6ft markers. The course is also in great shape.

Way too pricey for walking

The rates are deceiving. Almost every other course on this app and many others show the rate with cart included. Timbers is a great course but they advertise these seemingly low priced tee times and then you’re slapped with a $15 cart fee when you get there. This is one of my favorite courses. But for a municipal course, it’s a bit on the pricey end

Great condition, challenging layout

Course has a lot of twists and turns off the tee, so only hit driver a few times, so course management is key. Condition of course was very good. Greens were nice condition, but many previous golfers don’t repair their ball marks, so lazy and liberal of them. Overall a great course to play!

Great Course, Misleading Online Rate

The staff is professional, helpful and very friendly, the course was in pretty good shape (minus the 1st hole) .. just be prepared to pay another $20 bucks as they do not follow the rates quoted by the online golf apps. Middle of July weekday at midday and I had many options to play courses in several counties and I left my circle of courses to come out to Howard County. The course was wide open, so I got in a fast round with temperatures pushing 100!

Walked

Roller Needed #14

Great round walking (14,883 steps). Sand settling well on putting surfaces throughout. Wayward shots were punished accordingly. The short par 3 #14 has taken a beating. Birdie putt went airborne, which was entertaining. Grounds crew may need to repair and roll surface more frequently. Players need to "CARE" and repair and tamp down divot damage. This is a player issue not the course management

Great course. Great shape. Makes you think.

Very friendly staff. Everyone I encountered was excellent.

Carts were excellent.

First cart service I've seen in months. Very much appreciated.

It was a little pricy and more than advertised.
