About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6631 yards
Slope 133
Rating 71.7

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.

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.

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.
