Course Highlights
Timber Trace impresses with tree-lined fairways, well-manicured greens that roll true and fast, and course conditions that have dramatically improved under new ownership. Friendly staff, reasonable pricing, and a clean clubhouse with GPS-equipped carts make every round feel well worth the trip.

Rating 71.9

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.

Beautiful Course

This course was definitely one of our favorites in the area. It wasn’t super busy, and the layout was great. We also had the opportunity to see a fox run across the course. We’ll definitely be back!

Timber Trace - Great...and getting better

Timber Trace is back at the top of my favorite courses I like to play. The course continues to improve under new ownership.

The course is in great shape. Greens and fairways were spectacular. Sand traps continue to get better and better. Even the rough is in good condition. The other staff members were all friendly. The clubhouse is clean and well appointed.

I would play here everyday if my body would let me

Great course

This course reminds me of a lot of courses in northern Michigan narrow fairways that are tree lined. Grains that are well manicured and roll very easily.

Course in great shape. Holes have character. You don’t feel like your playing the same hole several times.. Got behind a very slow for some on front and took 2:45 to play nine. Fortunately, that group only played nine. We were able to play back nine in 75 minutes.
