The Timbers at Troy

Took over an hour before we could tee off on the 3rd hole. Complaints to marshalls only resulted in excuses. They allowed fivesomes on a busy Saturday. Took almost 6 hours for 18 holes - inexcusable!!!!! Sand traps need work.

This course is fantastic. .. the only thing I would improve is the quality of the greens and bunkers.

This is a fun course to play, greens still need time to heal from aereating, given the cool wet weather forecast for this week, probably won't be back to normal for a couple of weeks.

Course is way overpriced for what it is. Has some interesting holes, but the condition was awful. Patchy rough everywhere, greens were bumpy and shaggy and the bunkers were mostly just mud pits. Avoid this place.

The course was beautiful, but the starter let a lot of twosomes out. This would not have been a problem, but at hole 5 the twosome in front of us caught up to a VERY slow moving 3some. by hole 11 there were 4 twosomes backed up and it stayed that way for the rest of the round. Marshall never addressed it with the offending party. At one point 3 of them spent 7 minutes putting out. (Can you tell this was irritating.)

Course was in great shape. Greens were soft - but it had been very wet. The course was renewing the sand in traps, but some were not done yet.

Because I got a good price from GolfNow....it was worth it. I don't think it would have been at the regular price.

It is time to aerate the greens. But there are a lot of dime size holes that are not filled with sand and they were slow especially back nine. Some of the bunkers are in bad shape.

Needs work on sand traps and yardage markers and bare spots resulting from cart trafic.

Didn't tell us course had been airated, charged us full price. Have had issues with this place in the past. won't play again

This time of year nothing is pristine but the course was in very good shape. Though the greens had been recently aerated the rolled very true. Staff was friendly. Very good value compared to Balto. CO. / City courses. Really, No comparison for the price, $35 with cart.

I was shocked that this course was even open considering all of the water on the course. They obviously have serious drainage (and budget) problems. Add to that; the greens were air-aided with the largest holes I've ever seen in 35 yrs of golf, and had large bare patches. We had some approach shots that took 90 degree bounces when they landed on the green(s). Every shot into a fairway plugged, every putt bounced like a basketball. We almost quit after 9, but figured we'd tough it out. I will not be going back. Anyone that played this course on March 31st, 2014 should get a refund. I feel sorry for the friendly staff.

I made the reservation, flew from Louisville KY to Baltimore and rented a hotel and a car to play at Timbers. They were closed - hard not been open for weeks and never bothered to tell me. They still charged me, which I am trying still to get back. DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE!

I played timbers for the first time last summer, for the city limits bar tournament. Even though it was a scrabble format (not my preferance) I fell in love with timbers. It's not an incredibly long course, but offers enough challenge for all handicaps. Timbers has a top spot in my once a week foursome outting!! Keep up the good work guys! You'll def see me soon.

Ps: I'm not sure the pros name, but every time I've been , he's been incredibly approachable and nice. He even helped one of our guys change out his spikes.

I play this course several times a year, rarely disappointed in the conditions. This round was no exception. Good conditions tee thru green with a few trouble spots. They did have the some of the tees unusually long or short (probably saving the main tees for the spring) which add some variety to the usual round.

Cart girl came around 3 times. The guy in the Pro Shop and the Starter were real pleasant. The greens were good, just need golfers to fix there ball marks and another ball mark or two. Atleast 3 or 4 holes had leaves all over the greens. The fairways were OK (fix your divots) , just tuff because of a lot of blind tee shots. Tee boxes were OK. Course is in average conditions, probably would be alot better late spring early summer. I would recommend this course to my friends. I have played some real nice courses this year and this course ranks in the top of the bottom half.

One of the only public courses in Howard county means its always a 5 hour round. No one fixes their pitch marks on the greens. A fun course yet not nearly worth the $$$ they charge.

It has been years since I played Timber at Troy. So, I was looking forward to getting back there. The track itself is very interesting - although there are several blind tee shots in which directional flags would speed up play.

Their practice facilities are pretty good, small chipping green, both natural grass and artificial mats on the driving range. Putting green is in good condition.

Most of the fairways were in good to very good condition, but there were areas where the turf had either too much or too little water - unplayable patches on almost fairway.

The greens were particularly beat up. Players MUST fix their ball marks. Every green had dozens and dozens of ball marks that players had left without fixing. It is the number one area that Timbers must attend to improve playability.

I liked playing here and would play here again. We were able to get a real good rate to come play here and really enjoyed my day here. The staff was friendly but also didn't really go out of their way to help which is fine with me. The course is challenging and had some interesting holes. I would play here again if i got the same great deal. Im still pretty new at golf and don't like the idea of paying more than $50 on a round when i bound to lose another $20 in balls lolol

The summer heat took its toll on the course...played there in years past and it was much nicer. Greens were beaten to death and fairways had some spotty sections.

Starter showed great interest in keeping people moving--provide a card to post on the card showing our tee time and calculations for when we should finish holes during the round. Also said they would have marshals encouraging people to keep up pace. Seemed to work! Affects of heat in the summer showed itself on the fairways. Greens were very fast and in good shape. Enjoyed the round

A lot of thick forest all over the course, easy to lose your ball. I did go into the forest looking for my ball and came back with 9.....I was in surplus for the round. Fairways were a little rough, can't be blamed they had a lot of rain lately.

For $30 on a saturday tho you can't go wrong
