About
Timbers Golf Club is situated just 10 minutes from Frankenbluth in Vassar, a town that is known for its great shopping. Though you might look at the 133-slope rating and pass it off as a "resort course," it would be a mistake to underestimate this golf course. It starts with a challenging front nine that features tight fairways and tricky doglegs. There are also several marshes scattered through and water comes into play on seven holes. At 3,141 yards, Timbers' front nine will put your short and mid-iron skills to the test while the back nine is a little longer at 3,454 yards. There are considerably more sand bunkers on the back. Be sure to build up your score on the par 3s and par 4s because the tough par 5s are sure to swallow a few shots.

Golfer Reviews
Ozzie 73
The course layout was done well..
Obviously it is under new ownership that are trying hard to bring into shape.
The front was closed due to fall treatment.
The greens were a little slow and had a little weed issue, but
overall we're enjoyable.
The tees were rough and needed considerable attention.
The fairways were rough, but it was obvious attention was being given to them.
Looking forward to playing again in the future, hopefully seeing the attention needed is completed.
course was nice but....
greens were fairly fast and true, and the fairways were in good condition. Not everyone rakes the bunkers after a swing. Overall, I really liked it, except the staff. I had to wait five minutes for the kid behind the counter to stop talking to the bartender to just check in. and the bartender seemed like she was going out of her way to grab us a hotdog and a coke. she'd rather be on her phone and it was clear
Great course
For the price of your average course in the area, you get a much higher value course. The fairways and greens are superior to other courses in the area. The price is good in comparison to other courses in the area. I love this course and will be back.
Fun Round With Ruth Kramer
The senior lady's forward tees were great for Ruth
Fairways, tees and greens were very nice.
Beverage cart did not have many options.
I would give the overall rating of 8-10
Timbers
Timbers was in great shape.
Tees, fairways, rough and greens were all green and looking good.
Always a fun time at the Timbers. You better keep it in the fairway or bring extra balls.
Greens ran true and where responsive to shots.
The habitat was beautiful.
The clubhouse has good beverages and food.
Staff dressed inappropriately
I thought the cart girl was dressed very risqué. Boobs hanging out, plunging neck line, I know she’s working for tips but come on. I was embarrassed to have my two out of town guests there with me today as I have always bragged about this course.
Pleasantly surprised
I booked this as a party deal wasn’t really expecting a lot. I was pleasantly surprised and how well of course was maintain fairways were perfect greens were fast. Everything was nice and green sand was particular no rocks in it. I’m an East side or so everything in County area seems like the sand traps are full of rocks so I would recommend this course. I’m just an average golfer so a challenge be perfect.
Hidden Gem
Great challenging course, awesome value, friendly staff
