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.

Great value, greens have taken a step back though.
Welcome was a little underwhelming, dude seemed annoyed a bit with me, as I checked in 25 minutes early to putt. 4 hour pace as a single playing in all day foursomes I thought was solid.
Course was in great shape but the greens overall have regressed. Lots of muddy sections where he was has not returned and it makes putting kind of brutal.
For under $40 I’d play it again a bit later in the season
Bang for your buck
This course is worth every penny, cool layout and top of the line golf carts
Pace of Play
No ranger out there on the course, we teed off at 1:28p and it was over 4hr 30 mins for 18 holes, to be honest there wasn’t a whole lot of people out there. We were a twosome and there a foursome in front of us going so slow behind us there was 3 groups. When we did see a ranger, he didn’t do anything not sure what he was doing besides just driving around.
This is our second time playing it, hopefully be back!
Friday Golf
Very nice course & friendly staff & starter too!
He let me go off the back nine first because front nine was backed up. I was by myself so it worked out perfectly. Beautiful course & in great shape. It is a must play if you get the chance..
Fairways were a little soggy(90 degrees play) because of AM rain. Tee box, fairways, and greens were in good conditions. Enjoyed the layout of the course.
Nice place.
Ranger came out on the 15th hole to tell us his rules. We played a 5 man scramble and they don't allow but since we already played 14 he would let us finish. He did nothing about the pace of play with the twosome we caught up to playing multiple balls with nobody in front of them.
COURSE REVIEW
Course is in great shape, a lot of roll and the greens are also in great shape.
Great track!
Course staff was friendly! Course was very nice tough layout plays well!
Worth the drive
We live 90 minutes away but playing here is a treat. Very scenic
A very nice course.
A very nice course after getting beat up at The Fortress. Greens were nice. Layout was good. Great variety. Would play again.
