Good course for the price

Was too crowded for the first 4 holes given how close they are together, people were driving all over across our fairways to play errant tee shots. In fairness it was Father’s Day so crowds were to be expected- but with some of the golfers that were out there- some of the holes felt borderline dangerous, may have to spread tee times out a little more.

Other than that, the course was beautiful, greens were great, a good course for the price.

Exceptional

First time playing. Best tee box I've played all year. Greens very smooth and not punched. You understand the naming of the course on the back nine... A lot of TIMBER and LAKES

Great course

Wide open front 9 with a narrow back 9. Course was overall in good shape with just a few holes having a few small weeds on the green.

Great day in Staunton

Timber Lakes is an awesome place. We really enjoyed the layout the clubhouse and staff. Such a great atmosphere all the way around. We will be back and I highly recommend. Dave does a great job and makes you feel welcome.

Diamond in the rough

Anyone is the STL/SW IL area needs to check this course out. Great for all levels! Fairways are perfect, greens are in excellent condition and multiple ones are double tiered. Holes 13-16 are 4 of the toughest holes I’ve ever played. Not doubt worth the drive to play this fantastic course.

Great challenge course

Playing Timber Lakes starts out pretty straight forward, but the Timber trap on the back nine really makes a golfer use every club in the bag. Between the subtle (and sometimes hidden) water holes and the uniquely shaped greens with undulations, this course is a treat. I would recommend taking the time to experience this layout.
