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.

The Timbers

I enjoy playing this course very much. A few of the greens had rough patches. The clubhouse had few choices for lunch. Staff were extremely friendly. Facilities were clean.

Wouldn’t Recommend

Course was in tough shape - clearly understaffed! No food available - very slim drinks available - no starter - felt very disorganized.
