The Timbers Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Lush, scenic and staying in the fairways a must
Fun challenge. Forget it if you miss the fairways by more than 15 yards on most holes. You will be in marshland or woods. Fairways are in super condition and wide enough for the average golfer although narrow on a few holes especially the last three. Large greens, moderate speed, pay good attention to pin location listed for the day. Great layout in a country feel atmosphere. Top notch course.
Beautiful and well maintained course.
This course was in beautiful condition and very well maintained. We will return again.
blue tees
i played with a friend who didn't play yet this year and he wanted to play from the whites. it makes the course really short. i hit it about 260 of the tee and from the whites it took the driver out of my hand on about 6 holes. nice course, GREAT staff, suggest playing from the blues.
Name says it all "timbers"
Keep it in the fairway!! You can make some big numbers but if you play smart you can go low. I love courses in the woods and ones that make you think. Not a driver on the tee on all par 4 and 5's starting on hole one. Good luck play smart have fun.
Mostly wide fairways but trees if you stray.
One of my favorites, has water, trees, and sand that all come into play. Bring extra ball's.
Fun course to play
Had fun playing with some tricky holes over all the course was good
Good course and great deal
I have played this course a few times in the past and it's always in good condition. I played it again yesterday and found it to be in much better condition that most of the other courses in the area after all the rain we have had. I will definitely play here again.
very nice course for the money
For being built in a swamp this course is very nice. The course is well kept and currently in great shape.
The food in the restaurant is very good and reasonably priced.
The golf course staff is very friendly and at tentative to your needs.
The only complaint I would have is when they airiated the greens they left the holes unfilled. Most of your finer courses that I have played fill in these holes with sand thus giving the greens a smother look and better ball roll.
This is one of the best values in the area.
The Timbers is an above average course for an average price.
fun layout and a challenge
I love this course. It is close to my house and I would call it my favorite course near me. the scenery in the fall is great. The layout is playable but challenging w the back nine posing a large challenge. a must play for sure.
