Timber Trace Golf Club
About
Timber Trace Golf Club sprawls across the rolling countryside that surrounds Lake Wallaby in lower Michigan. The location seems rather remote, giving the course an isolated feel, but the round is well worth the trip. The layout is routed through tall pines and the fairways effortlessly flow across the gently rolling hills. The wooded terrain is one of the course's major draws. Golfers from as far as the metro Detroit area come to enjoy this scenic round. The layout has an interesting mix of holes that offer plenty of variety. There are some tricky spots but you won't come across any carries over wetlands or ponds. Golfers will face long and challenging back-to-back par 5s starting with the 15th. This duo has the potential to ruin your score.

a pleasant surprise
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.
Good course but
fairly good course but there are some holes that far each other which took me about 3~5mins to move to the next hole.
Nice Course
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!
Great day
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 !
challenging but fair
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.
nice layout
Rolling fairways , nice greens very scenic lots of wildlife
Nice course, very pretty.
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.
Nice course with some very nice holes. Haven't played there in a numbers of years but plan to go back soon.
Always a good day out there
Challenging with a lot of great golf holes. It's a little bit of a hike from the detroit area, but make the enjoyable ride in the country part of the experience. The course is worth the drive. Staff is very friendly and offers a very good value. I have played this course quite a few times over the years. The condition has pretty much stayed consistant. My only complaint is Pace of play is 4.5 hours minimum. Didn't see a ranger last time out and it was 5 hours. On the other hand, Without starter and ranger, this helps them keep the cost down.
This course is difficult in wrong way
They need work on those long bushes, if you hit 10 yards off fairway you get into these nasty bushes you can't never find the ball. And worst part is each hole is located through the residential neigberhoods, you are crossing the streets too many times. Hole #13 you need drive cart more than 10 min to get there. I am not playing there anymore.
its a little out of the way for me.
Although I like the course the hour drive will probably determine if I want to play this course again. It was I pretty good shape except for the bunkers which are not being maintained very well .... no rakes for the players. Collapsed and undefined edges and the sand is mixed with dirt and rocks. Greens were in pretty good shape despite the summer heat.
Beautiful cource with many amazing views.
Excellent course with many challenging holes. Friendly staff and golfers.
Nice course
Nice course. My firnd raved about it and I'm not sure why he like it soo much. I mean its nice but not as pretty as others imo but still real nice. 20 minute drive between 12 and 13 kindve excessive. People were pretty nice though as me being a single most people let me play through. I would return with a good deal on golf now.
Loved its playability.
The fairways are huge, but the challenge is in hitting the tight greens.
I thought the course was in great shape.
Really Nice Golf Experience
This is course with several sets of tees that make it range from moderate to challenging depending on the tees. It has wide fairways and large greens which are very well maintained. The terrain has good elevation changes and location is pretty secluded. It is an excellent golf course for the money.
Beautiful Course to play
There are 5 different tee boxes on this course. Great for all different range of golfers. The fairways and greens are in great shape. The rough is thick and challenging, so stay in the fairway. The only down side to this course are the rocks in the bunkers. Clean those out and this is a 5 star golf course. The staff inside the clubhouse are very friendly.
Great course for the money
Went online golfnow and paid $18.00 on hot deal, one of the best courses for under $20 anywhere in Michigan. Staff very friendly, course was in excellent condition and can be very challenging I depending on what tee box you use. Many holes had access to cold water, great for hot day.
The course is wide open but trouble is there. Greens are great
Good greens, many traps, but wide open fairways. The course has a section that is a 10 minute drive to the 13th hole. Funny thing, we had a tree that fell across the path. Had to wait for a tractor to pull it away.
