Timber Trace Golf Club

This course is definitely one of the nicest courses I've played in michigan. Well groomed. Wide beautiful fairways. Great greens. I can't come up with any negative points. Everything from the happy go lucky proshop employee to the range was perfect. There are a couple in between holes excursions through the woods but as the sign says just sit back and enjoy the view. About a 5 min ride. I'd definitely go back. 5 sets of tee boxes allows for any caliber golfer. You won't be disappointed I guarantee it.

Its a good course have nothing bad to say about it.

The course was in overall good shape and played well. I very much enjoyed the layout. When checking in for our tee time, we were barked at by the grumpy man in the club house that we would be delayed teeing off by at least 30 minutes. There was an outing that was running way over and they double-booked tee times. Oh well, mistakes happen, but this guy was about the most unpleasant and abrasive person I've ever met and to imagine it's his job to interact with customers...FAIL.

The pace of play was awful and completely unmonitored. We were stuck behind a couple of slow groups that we jumped 2 holes ahead of at the turn (took us almost 3 hours to play the first 9). By the time we finished the back, we didn't even go back to play the 2 we skipped. Did not see a single ranger on the course.

The pace of play and unfriendliness and unprofessional staff killed the experience. I wish it were different because the course itself is nice and is probably a completely different experience during a weekday or slower time.

The course itself is nice, plays well and I would recommend it; however if you don't like to wait around I wouldn't. We arrived, checked in and were promptly told that we would be delayed at least 30-45 minutes. No weather delay, instead an outing was running behind and someone double-booked tee times. The old, grumpy man working was rude and unpleasant. He could have made the the experience better with an attempt at customer service but didn't have a clue. The pace of play on the course was not monitored and even with skipping 2 holes we played a 6-hour round. With competent staff, this course has potential.

Weather was perfect,course in fantastic shape.Played as single and was paired staff was extremely friendly

This course is out in the middle of no where but is worth the drive if you have never played it. The holes are challenging yet scenic with towering pines giving it a northern Michigan feel. Top 5 course in this area without a doubt.

My first time on this course. Beautiful layout! You will not want to walk as there is a loop on the back 9 that takes you out around a lake - Lake Wallaby. It's 5-6 minutes each way out/in but it's beautiful!
There are many sand trap surrounded greens so you need to hit high shots on - no roll-ups for the most part! Shot an 81 which is just 2 shots above my average as i was able to avoid most bunkers. Staff and food were great!

Enjoyed the round despite playing behind a couple of slow foursomes. The course layout and condition were very nice and most importantly had no hidden hazards or forced carries. I will surely go back and hopefully the players ahead aren't deliberate in their pace!

We had a wonderful time. I always enjoy the challenges of this course

This is a very player friendly course. The fairways are wide and forgiving. It is hard to judge the greens, as it was pouring at times. They did drain quickly though.

The course is surrounded by neighborhoods and snakes you in and out of the different sections, so hole to hole travel can seem long. Being out in the country a bit, there is not a tone of traffic.

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!!
