Timber Trace Golf Club

As a relative newcomer to the area, I gave this course a shot based on some reviews of a few local players on an online golf forum (golfwrx). Timber Trace was a fun, interesting, and challenging course. I don't know that i'll make the one hour drive on a regular basis, but it will definitely be a course I consider when I have friends and relatives in town and I want to show them a good course at a reasonable price.

The course and surrounding area are beautiful, the course was in pretty good shape (greens were a little chewed up but still rolled nice), and it presented a good challenge without being too brutal on a player like me that typically shoots in the 85-95 range depending on the course.

Everyone in the metro-Detroit area should make a point to play here at least once.

I've played here several times before. It's my favorite course in the area. There are a couple challenging holes that get me every time. Overall a great course and will continue to play here.

Played course on a hot deal and certainly couldn't beat this value! Course was in great shape. Only downside is the 10 min round trip on the back nine.

Great course. Always in great condition and always seems to have very good pace of play.
Greens are spectacular. Very challenging but great layout.

Timber Trace is a hidden gem. The course is in excellent condition tees to greens and is a beautiful course to play. There are five sets of tees, allowing you to choose the course length that suits your game the best. I now play from the senior (white) tees, allowing me, at least theoretically, to reach even the longest of the par 4's. We had a young fellow join our group who played from the back (green) tees, stretching the course to over 7000 yards. The first cut of rough is quite playable when you stray off the fairways, but the next section of rough remains uncut throughout the entire season. This becomes knee-high grass in July, making it extremely difficult to find your errant tee shot. I agree with other reviewers that the condition of the sand traps could be improved. Overall, Timber Trace is a terrific golf course, very playable for golfers of all skill levels. You will think you are "Up North".

Very nice condition with some challenging greens.
I would recommend the trip out.

The course was in excellent shape and the pace of play was fantastic.

Overall good value and would recommend it to others. Course was in good shape and the greens survived the harsh winter.

the long rides from 12 to13 and 16 to 17 were great we saw deer and just enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. The golfing was great also, This is a wonderful course to unwind and relieve stress. All four of us that played would go back even if it were just to ride the course and not even pick up a golf club. The staff was very friendly. If you go just relax and enjoy the ride.

The course was in good shape but they are just missing a few of the details on the course. We looked at all the sand traps and they were terrible, there were rocks in them and they had not been raked at all and didn't have any sand in them , makes it tough to hit out of and cost me a couple of strokes! No divot repair sand on tee boxes or carts! Like I said they aren't quite up to speed out there!! They did not have a drinks cart at all on the course. I liked the course and the staff was very accommodating..
I would give them a 7 out of 10!!

I golf daily and was told to check this place out Awesome. Great value

A nice track. Greens were fast and smooth. Fairways were in excellent shape. The layout is unique and scenic. I particularly like the fact that I'm most holes you could not see any other hole. It reminds me of courses is "Up North". The only critique I have of the course is the sand traps. They are basically dirt and rocks. The facilities leave something to be desired and the course appears to be understaffed on the retail end. Will definitely play again.

fairly good course but there are some holes that far each other which took me about 3~5mins to move to the next hole.

Being a duffer, it would have been nice if the rough was cut a bit shorter. It promotes faster play (not looking for a buried ball).

Other than that, it's a very nice course!

All flights were delayed an hour due to frost, no big deal. The conditions were cold windy and cloudy! Great day for golf!

The course is in very good condition for this time of year and the greens were fresh cut a fast and played well to the pitch. Overall a great day with my son and golf buddies! Timber Trace is welcoming setting. The Starter was friendly and communicated well with the flights !

It was early in the year so the greens were not quite there yet.Ball rolled true but slow.If you have bad knees avoid the bunkers as they are very deep and were difficult for me to get in and out of.I like the course and will play it again soon.I prefer to play early there to avoid the slow play.

Rolling fairways , nice greens very scenic lots of wildlife

This course was in tip top condition, putting greens were spot on.

I really enjoyed playing the course. It was a drive out from my home but worth it. The play was a little slow as we were waiting all day behind several foursomes and they didn't seem to have any rangers to speed along the play but the course was nice and maintained well.

Nice course with some very nice holes. Haven't played there in a numbers of years but plan to go back soon.
