Timberstone Golf Course

"Beautiful and very fun course. I'm not a great golfer and I was nervous from other reviews, but it's very playable, just play smart and safe and you'll have a great time. Excellent food and bar service as well."

"Timberstone Golf Course is an insanely tight course that just 5 to 10 yards off target will result in a guaranteed lost ball from the tee and approach greens. Greens and fairways are tiny, for it is almost unfair. The course still offers great conditions and good design. Favorite holes were 5, 6, 9, 16, 17, and 18. Hole 16 is ridiculously difficult and requires two precise shots to have a chance at birdie. Overall, it is definitely worth playing"

"Course is beautiful. Very fun to play and pretty playable if you can control the slice. I only give it 4 stars for a few reasons: - putting green is tiny and not one flat spot on it. No more than 3 people could use it at once comfortably and it was in rough shape. - driving range was short and mats only. - clubhouse didn't have much for logo'd merchandise and was very slim pickings. -5.5 hour round on a Monday early afternoon! - traps needed a lot of attention and lots of rocks. Overall it was a fantastic course and a great value with the casino. I would come back despite the gripes as they didn't really impact my experience too much."

"Played it in mid September 2021 after a night of heavy. Course held up well, but a few bunkers had standing water...but little any where else. (Smartly, that day, no carts were allowed on the fairways to keep it from being beat up after the rain.) Course is cut out the woods but holes are close enough that you see other holes through the trees at most times. Water was worked in well on a few holes as was the elevation changes. Gentle turns and straight holes were the norm. Five sets of tees for players of all skill level, though the 20+ handicapper should be prepared to pick up and drop on green if they can't keep up with the group ahead of them. Good layout! (Play #17 from the top tee. View is worth it, and plays about 185 yards with no wind). Greens were a bit on the beat-up side with most having bare patches, but to be expected at the end of the season. They were fast...probably rolling over a 12. The front brought a strong wind making yardage determination/club selection critical. The hills and trees made it swirl. Tough to judge. The woods lining the course are open enough that most errant shots can be found, if you look. Pace of play was good...4.25 hours, and we saw the ranger twice. Food was good and service very friendly. We WILL be back!"

"Lovely, lovely, lovely--and totally playable. There was nothing about the course this high-handicapper and wife didn't enjoy. It's classic north-wood's golf with its tree-lined fairways (that mostly had generous landing areas) plus rocky outcroppings. Suggest spending time on the putting green before you play as the greens are quick, and somewhat hard to read as I had several "anti-gravity" putts that wondered far beyond the hole. And for you long hitting, good golfers--this course will test your skills. I would compare it (experience wise) to Big Fish in Hayward, Dismal River in Nebraska (especially the Tom Doak course), Pines Course at the Prairie Club (also in Nebraska), Grey Walls in Marquette MI. It's that kind of course--fun to play but generally demanding a really good second shot. Anyway, if you're within 50 miles--add it to your trip."
