The Timbers at Troy

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.

Timbers has an excellent layout and is always well maintained. The staff is friendly and eager to make you round a good experience.

I drove to the course with a very high expectations and received a very average experience. While the layout of the course was very challenging, the condition of the green were average and the bunkers were below average on some holes.

Irrigation was running on the 2nd tee and had to wait. The bunkers are in poor shape pea gravel everywhere first few holes weren't even raked by the trap rake. He showed up on hole 3 while we were on the green. The tees were beat up divots weren't being filled. A lot of goose grass on tees, rough and some green edges. There are alot of worn out areas over time that haven't been addressed from cart wear. For 70$ if felt like it wasn't worth the price especially being a Howard a County course. This county is one of the richest counties in the country.

I've played Timbers a number of times over the years and it's in the best condition that I've ever played it right now. The course was in excellent shape from Teti green and is an excellent value .

Nice course with some challenging holes. The tight fairways leave little room for error and the greens can be tough to read. Played three times and will go back again.

Course was in great shape besides a few greens. Lots of different holes, not necessary to driver a lot. Pace of play was great for front 9 then got backed up a bit on the back. Will definitely be back though.

I hadn't played this course in about 10 yrs and was surprised at the decline in maintenance. The bunkers were horrible and some of them had just been removed. What was weird was that some of the holes were still in great condition and then others were torn up badly. I was very happy with the golf now hot deal of 31 bucks including a cart on a Friday mid day.

not a long course, but a good challenge. the tee boxes were very chewed up but the greens were mostly well maintained. would recommend.

The pace of play was great and Marshall made sure everything was fine

What a way to start Father's Day Weekend. Played a round with my brother and one of my best friends. The best friend lives on the golf course and it was a great day. Professional and courteous treatment from the time I drove up until I drove away. Food was tasty, golf staff in pro shop were very helpful and friendly. Course condtions were great. Greens were true and you had to think your way around the course. Has been added to my must play list when I am in the area.

Played at 10:12 on a Saturday and was done in under 4:20. Never waited a single time. Course was in good shape but some of the bunkers were unplayable. GOod day

The weather was great, so it was no surprise that the course was crowded. The staff was friendly and accommodating and worked hard to keep everyone moving.

The course has a decent blend of hilly and flat holes which provides a good blend of challenges.

The course is in good to excellent condition. The bunkers have been greatly improved over past years. The pace of play was above average. The staff at the course was friendly and courteous.

A lot of blind shots and environmental areas force you to lay up a lot. Must have patience to play this course. Course is tight, so if you aren't a straight hitter, you are going to lose some golf balls.

The Timbers is a generally difficult test but all the tees were way up today and that made it quite a bit easier. The layout is challenging with trouble on one side on each hole. The greens seemed to be cut longer and were slower, which also made the course easier. This course usually gets a lot of play but was deserted on this day as it was supposed to rain and didn't. It is usually too pricey for me but the $22 hot deal was a bargain even if conditions were slightly less good than I remembered from previous years.

overall the course was nice. there are some improvements that need to be made though however.
I played one week prior to this last outing right after they airated and the greens were still bumpy, the sand traps need a little work as well. they need to add sand.
Overall I like this course and would love to play it more but the price needs to come down a little bit for this to happen. there are better courses in the area for the price.
