Visitors can stay in 20 cabins, two campgrounds for tents/RVs or tent camp on six islands in the lake. The park is home to the Bear Trace at Tims Ford which is part of the Jack Nicklaus-designed collection. The Tims Ford Reservoir is visible from most holes and comes into play on several others.

Hot time at Tim’s Ford
Great design by the Bear and his son. Classic greens with plenty of challenging pin placements.
I usually play this course about once a year when I go on vacation. The foursome I played with two were beginners one hasn’t played in years but we had a wonderful time and experience.
Memorial Day weekend trip
The course was in excellent condition. Greens were fast and rolled very true. Lots of fun.

Brothers Trip
Nice course; pretty average for the price paid. The tee boxes were a little rough but the fairways and greens were in good shape. Would play here again
Well-presented track
Bear Trace at Tim's Ford is a challenging track from the Nicholas Tees and did not disappoint today. Staff was friendly, helpful and made us feel welcomed. Course conditions were great.
Look forward to return visit.
Great Staff
Not sure why this staff has got bad reviews, they were very friendly and helpful. Loved the course layout, greens were in great shape, fast. Course is a little rough around the edges, in spots but other than that no complaints from me. Look forward to playing again
