    Summary:
    I used to enjoy playing Timbers 20x a year. It is a good course with well maintained fairways, but has average greens and absolutly terrible bunkers. I didnt mind this too much as I would play 9 after work twice a week and stayed clear of traps anyway. A lot of times bunkers were unplayable due to rocks and mud. The complaint my friends had when I took them there on weekends was cost compared to just as well maintaned courses in the area, which leads me to why I will never play there again in the customer service section of this review.

    Customer Service:
    The new GM thinks he's got a snobby private course to run. The cancel policy is $25 per no show with no exceptions if you do not cancel 24hrs in advance. So a 20x/yr cust couldnt get a break for a medical emergency. No other course in the area(just as nice, less expensive)has this type of policy.

    Summary:
    I play Timbers several times each year and really enjoy the layout. It has a little of everything. Some holes have open tee shots, but demanding approach shots like the dogleg, par-5 second. Some holes have forced-carry (including #3, #5, & #16) and others have significant elevation changes (#9, #14, & #18). Timbers is a beautiful course that demands accuracy but not a lot of distance (only 6,652 from the tips). The bentgrass fairways are in great shape, but they are maintained on the wet, soft side.....so you must hit your irons cleanly (ball first) to be consistent. They have at times also struggled maintaining a consistent quality to the greens which are average speed and could use a good rolling, but I will keep them on my list.

    Customer Service:
    Typically good and I haven't had any bad experiences.

    Summary:
    Timbers at Troy is a nice design but be on your game if you play here. Environmental areas are very challenging. I didn't like the fairway grass but the greens are nice. Good quality sand which you don't often find in public courses.

    Customer Service:
    Outstanding

    Reviewed by: GRAYDON, Shoot in the 90s, from COLUMBIA, MD

    Summary:
    GREENS OK BUT THEY DO NOT CUT THEM OFTEN ENOUGH WHICH CAN BE FRUSTRATING. FOR A PUBLIC COURSE THEY KEEP THE COURSE IN REAL GOOD SHAPE.

    ENVIRONMENTAL AREAS CAN BE A CHALLENGE IF YOU ARE OOF OF YOUR GAME BUT FAIRWAYS AND TEE BOXES TYPICALLY IN GOOD SHAPE.

    THEY ALSO KEEP CARTS OF FAIRWAYS WHICH PROMOTES QUALITY OF PLAY IF NOT SPEED.

    RANGE IS ACCEPTABLE.

    Reviewed by: Jason Prola, Shoot in the 70s, from Severn, MD, USA

    Summary:
    pretty good layout, short and tight most of the round, not too fast but above average green speeds, a few holes have bad spots on the greens and a few golfers apparently like to drag their feet near the hole, the ball usually rolled true, the greens firmness was medium, some shots released some stoped and some sucked back, the fairways are nice and not patchy at all, the rough is 2-4 inches and trees are everywhere, the tees were fine, as much as you can ask for with a public golf course, and the course is still very young and hasnt matured much yet, for this area unless you can afford and find your way onto caves or woodholme CC and comparing it to places like that its as good as you get for the money around here as far as conditions

    Customer Service:
    the starters were friendly, the round took about 4.5 hours which is not a good thing, but with a public course it could have been 5.5 hours
