The Timbers at Troy

Great value for money. Many reachable holes. Fair.

You will pay way too much to sit around hole after hole waiting on the group in front of you and feeling pressured by the group behind you. I’ve given feedback direct multiple times and imagine I’m not the only one - and nothing has changed in 2 years since we moved to the area. Needless to say, we only attend when we’re desperate. Plenty of other courses nearby that are better maintained and managed for the same, if not less money.

Positive: they have pretty good food for the turn or after a round!

I’d you charge $12 for a bucket of balls then the balls should be worth hitting. Range balls are terrible. And if you punch the greens you should offer a discount. Just basic stuff.

I don’t know where to begin with this review. There we were, hole 2 with a dead cart. Yes, hole 2. Call the shop to have them bring a new one, they acknowledge but nobody ever came. Call again, same thing. We had to push our cart for 5 more holes to try to keep pace of play and we had things to do later that day. Pushed the cart until we met an uphill challenge that we couldn’t push any longer. Call and call and now it’s just beeping 3 times and hanging up. The cart girl ends up coming around, tells us she heard about us being stuck and tries to radio into the shop that we are still stuck… We sat there for another 40 minutes watching other players play around us.

After the 4th group passes us we see the starter come around. He’s staring at us as if we were in trouble. He looked upset. He asks,”everything alright fellas?” We responded,”No”. He says “Really? Why, what’s wrong?”

We responded, “you have to be kidding me right? You’re joking.”

He then looks caught off guard and says “really.. what’s going on?”

We tell him, we have pushed our cart for 5 holes, called into the shop 6 times on 2 different phones and each time someone says they’re coming and here we are…”

He replies, “ NO WAY! I heard about you guys being stuck but that was like over an hour ago! Let me call the shop”

He calls and 15 minutes later 2 young kids come rolling up with smirks on their faces like they knew exactly what was going on. This was hilarious to them. They tell us that they just found out what happened… and for some reason I actually believed them.

It’s as if NOBODY had a clue what was going on there. Everybody was talking to someone completely different and we were just stuck on hole 7, paid over $100 for this round just to watch other groups tee off and drive by us. It’s a shame because I absolutely love the course, but the staff just cant get right. They’re totally lost. For our troubles, they tried giving us a $30 off the next round.

It’s a joke!! Go elsewhere, somewhere they appreciate you spending your hard earned money. DO NOT COME HERE.

I’m not sure how but the pace of play is always an issue. I always have to end up skipping holes to get past groups. There was a group of 8 that was playing and holding the whole course up for 4.5 hours, almost every group behind us just kept skipping them. The greens have been aerated since at least February. If this wasn’t the only course around I’d never play it. Also… for 110 bucks?! That’s the worst value I’ve ever seen.

This place was way to expensive. It used to be under $70 now they push $100 with a cart

Pace of play was ridicoulously slow Nobody checks on this

6 hours 2 of us

Course was ok , fairways are nice and the distances from the white and tips are reasonably good distances .the problem is the greens they really need to improve the greens if they are going to continue to charge those rates , if you are a single digit handicap you should find another course..

I called at noon and asked if the course could get a single out around 1:30 and was told to "come on down". When I arrived at 1:15 and checked in, they told me they put me in for 2:42 but check with the starter to get me out sooner. Starter tells me they are fully booked. Went back in and got my money refunded. Worst part is by this time, nowhere else could get me out either. I play Timbers several times a year but do not plan to going forward.

Booked early afternoon tee time on Tee Off website. Course was not busy. Played round in 3 hours with one other golfer; great pace of play. Course was in early spring conditions with some grounds maintenance being done ( e.g. new sod laid on edges of some greens, tee boxes needed some work and start for new grass). Overall, it was a good day for golf. I will return for more golf this season.

Caption pretty much says it. $96 to have greens that are being patched and re-sodded and never told about it prior to stepping onto the first green….
