Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to experience Timberstone's unique beauty?

We highly recommend visiting Timberstone in late September or early October. The fall foliage transforms the course into a breathtaking canvas of reds and golds, and the crisp air makes for perfect playing conditions. You'll want to book well in advance, as this peak season fills up fast.

How challenging is Timberstone for an average golfer, and what should I prepare for?

Timberstone offers a fair but formidable challenge, especially from the back tees. You'll encounter significant elevation changes, particularly on the back nine, and strategically placed bunkers that demand precision. Focus on course management, and don't be afraid to take an extra club on uphill shots.

What makes Timberstone's layout truly stand out from other courses in the region?

It's the seamless integration of natural rock outcroppings and dense forest into the design that sets Timberstone apart. The par-3 14th, playing over a dramatic ravine to a tucked-away green, is a true highlight and a test of nerve. Every hole feels like it was carved directly from the landscape.

What's the typical green fee at Timberstone, and is it worth the price?

Expect green fees to be in the $120-$180 range, depending on the season and time of day. We firmly believe it's worth every penny for the immaculate conditioning, stunning scenery, and memorable design. Look for twilight rates in the summer for a slightly more budget-friendly option.

Should I plan on walking Timberstone, or is a cart essential?

While we love walking, Timberstone's dramatic elevation changes, especially on the back nine, make a cart almost essential for most players. If you're determined to walk, the front nine is more manageable, but be prepared for a serious workout and longer round.
