The Timbers at Troy

Overall was a good round. Would have been much better if the traps actually had sand in them instead of rocks. They really need to invest in making all their sand traps better.

The course looks nice from the road and that is where it ends. The tees are in terrible condition, they have crab grass growing on all of the tees. It doesn't matter whether it is front, middle, or back they are less then favorable. Some of the sand traps have crab grass in them as well. If they do not have grass growing in them they have a problems with the drainage system and have water in them. They seem to be fairly close to losing some greens as well. This is all for the amazing fee of $52 dollars. You would think that they would make an adjustment based on all of this.

Course was average. Summer temps cause most East courses to be in fair condition.

I think the title speaks for itself. 3 hours and 20 minutes to play 9 holes. What makes this even more ridiculous is that there was hardly anyone on the course! An early morning storm scared away many players and the parking lot was quite empty when we arrived. What caused the delay was 4 groups of players. These guys were the SLOWEST players EVER. If the course had competent marshalls this problem would have been resolved quite easily but even after repeated calls to the clubhouse and flagging down marshalls, they did NOTHING. I did not have the time for a 6 hour 45 minutes round, so i left after 9. WORST. ROUND. EVER. The proshop gave a partial refund but they didn't even apologize. PATHETIC.

The staff was very friendly, the course looks nice until you start playing it. The greens play very fast which is ok if the greens were maintained. The greens and fairways all looked like no one has ever repair divids until the season is over, the sand traps are not playable at all and it is definitely over priced for the conditions of the course

The course was empty for a weekday. We were able to maintain a steady pace and really enjoy the day. We were slowed down a few times as the ground crew watered various greens, but otherwise an enjoyable day!

The course itself is probably not a lot better than most "neighborhood courses" but it was quite respectable and a little harder than most such courses that I've played and quite a decent challenge. This is not some mid-30s handicap retiree course. Now don't get me wrong it's not super-hard either, but you do have to have some game to play this course well. The pace of play was excellent when I played it in late March really there was still snow & ice on the 1st fairway :) but it was warm that day and in the high 50s-low60s not many people on the course but it was well into its Spring growth with cherry blossoms and the round was really nice. Though i got the impression that this is not a cheap course, GolfNow saved me from the uglier side of that. I would definitely recommend it.

As of May 2015 the greens, tee boxes and faiways are in great shape. Course has always provided a challenge but 4.5-5 hr pace of play can be expected. The bunkers need some work, they are compact and some even had rocks in them. To be fair the groundskeepers where doing significant bunker work on one hole so a bunker refurbish may be in the works. Overall course is playing well.

the staring hole #1 is a tough hole to start the round with. If you don't hit it straight, you are going to be in trouble.

Some shirt par 4 make you want to go for it but can put on the big number

The course was in great shape, had a few blind tee shots but very forgiving layout!

Very challenging golf course but the pace of play was completely unacceptable. We quit after 16 holes and we were already at 5 hours 20 minutes.

Not bad, as with most public courses in tje area, should be less $$

This is a decent course for this area. It is extremely over played and over priced. They can get away with charging what they do purely based off of location. I have played this course several times and this time of year it is in the best shape only because it is not being over played. The bunkers at this course are embarrassing at any time throughout the year. Little or no sand. It is a fun layout but needs to be better taken care of to charge what they do. There has been several times where I have showed up for a tee time and there were no carts available. We literally had to wait for people to finish on 18 and grab their cart.

Course was in pretty good condition and the greens were running fast and true.

I paid about $37/person, include GolfNow fees on a nice Saturday (around noon), normally $55. The course was in reasonable shape considering it's late October and rained heavily a few days before. Traps were a mess but greens and fairways were in good shape. We were paired up with another 2-some but they were so slow, we eventually just broke off on our won. Played the front 9 in 2 hours. The back 9 bogged down to close to 2 1/2 hours. Fun design with lots of variety and elevation changes. Some long and short holes, a few forced carries. Houses are not very noticeable. Overall, a fun day of golf.

Had a great time .paired up with some very nice people. Course in great shape. Even had a leaf blower that was awesome. A must play course. Great prices on golf now. Got more then my money worth.

I play this course quite often. I like it a lot because it is fun to play and nearby. The course is always in good shape except their sand traps. The sand in many traps is hard and have rocks. It seems they tried to fix them this year but still some have problems. So bad that you can't play from the traps sometimes. It started to pour when we teed off yesterday, but the proshop insisted that the course was open and we couldn't back out. It rained for three holes before the weather cleared up. We don't mind playing, and actually played quite well, but I wish they would be nice to give us a rain check at the beginning because we are regulars there.

Timbers is always a fav of mine. Good layout with some challenging carries but they have plenty of grip it and rip it holes as well. I love courses where you have to think about what to use off the box. You can get penalized if you try to use your driver on every hole.

The course conditions are typically pretty good. Most folks fix their divots on the greens and the grounds crew keeps things well cut - no losing balls in crazy ruff.

Practice facilities are just ok. They have a range, chipping green and putting green

After reading previous reviews I had mixed feelings. Their rate seemed a little steep. Some people felt the course wasn't in very good shape and pace was a little off. I found a good price on Golfnow.com and decided to try it out since I was vacationing just a few minutes away. Turned out better than expected. I was greeted at the pro shop with a smile and asked if I had played there before. I said first time so he told me a little about the course, gave me a few directions, and I was on my way. I grabbed a cart and headed to the driving range. They had mats and natural grass at the range however the natural grass area was a bit chewed up. I blame mostly the golfers for not filling in their divots after they're done though. Putting greens were in good shape and then I headed to #1. The night before I printed off some tips from the golf courses web site of do's and don't for each hole ( I love it when courses take time and do this) because it's so helpful for a first timer. So I got to #1, pulled out my tips, and swang away. I played alone with a 3some in front of me and at one point they waved me on but I declined since they were moving along at a good pace and I was in no hurry. I was enjoying the course layout, terrain, wildlife, trees, etc. There were a few holes where I played 2 balls but kepted up. I finished in just a tick under 4 hrs. NICE!!!! As for the course, it played great. Fairways and greens were in good shape and the consistent elevation changes in the holes kept you guessing. They don't provided GPS on the carts so if you have one bring it. I used mine plenty. Cart paths run thru out the course and there's ample spacing from greens to the next tees. Overall it was a good afternoon.
