Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Timber Lake Golf Course for a mid-handicapper?

You'll find Timber Lake offers a fair but firm test, especially if your approach shots aren't precise. The back nine, particularly holes 13 through 15, demands accuracy to navigate the tight, tree-lined fairways and avoid the namesake water hazards. Don't let the scenic views distract you - focus is key here.

When is the best time of year to play Timber Lake for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting Timber Lake in early fall, typically late September to mid-October. The course is in pristine condition, the humidity drops, and the vibrant autumn foliage around the lakes makes for an absolutely stunning round. Spring is also beautiful, but you might contend with softer fairways after rain.

What's the one hole at Timber Lake I absolutely can't miss, and why?

You absolutely have to experience the 17th hole, a breathtaking par-3. It plays downhill over a significant portion of Timber Lake to a well-guarded green, making club selection crucial and a little nerve-wracking. It's a true risk-reward beauty and a fantastic photo opportunity, win or lose.

Is Timber Lake Golf Course worth the green fee, and what should I expect to pay?

Timber Lake offers excellent value for a course of its caliber; we think it's absolutely worth it. Green fees typically range from $75-$120 depending on the day and time you book, including a cart. You're paying for meticulously maintained greens and fairways, plus those memorable lake views.

How busy does Timber Lake get, and what's the typical pace of play?

Timber Lake can get quite busy, especially on weekend mornings, so book your tee time well in advance. We've generally found the pace of play to be very reasonable, around 4 hours to 4 hours 15 minutes, thanks to good marshaling. If you want a truly relaxed round, aim for a weekday afternoon.
