The Timbers at Troy

The course was not in the best condition but it was an OK course to play. The bunkers were in need of some sand. The greens were just aerated, so they took off an extra $10. The staff were really friendly when we checked in. After our round we went in to have something to eat and watch some golf on TV. But now there was a new guy working in the pro shop and he sat in the cafeteria and watched tennis. We asked if we could watch the third round of the Deutsche Bank instead, but he would have nothing of that. " This is the Grand slam for Serena" he said staring at the TV!!!! We didn't say anything, ate our burgers and left. Later we found it was only the quarter finals not the finals!! The lady working in cafeteria on the other hand was really nice and helpful.

The staff are very friendly and the course even with aerated greens was in good condition. Some bunkers need sand, overall a great location.

The overall course was very dismal. ALL the bunkers were full of water and none were raked at all. The greens were aerated (I know this has to be done) but there was too much sand on the greens. Too much sand caused three or four pins not being able to stay in the cups. I played this course 3 years ago and it was beautiful.

Tee'd off on time at 10:12am. It took 5h 10m to complete a round. Spoke with the Pro after the round and was informed that it does that that long when a lot of people are playing. Taking this long is evidently acceptable to the course staff because nothing was done to speed up play and I was told they expect it to take that long.

I enjoy the course and will consider playing during the week but never again on a weekend.

The bones of this course are mightily evident, however the lack of upkeep makes for a less than ideal playing experience. The bunkers are often bare and or rocky. The greens have great undulations but are pock marked and hairy. Each hole is visually interesting with various challenges being thrown at the golfer. It must have truly been a pure golfing experience when it first opened.

This course used to be in a lot better condition. Now the conditions are very poor and its way over priced for that reason. Don't waste your time and money.

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.
