Top notch public course and amenities! Course difficulty matches the same level fun factor: A LOT. This gem has beautiful manicured fairways and super soft, bouncy greens. Tons of elevation changes; careful tee shot placement; and a solid approach game will all come to play on this course. RTJ has some competition!

I enjoy nothing more than hitting the golf course with my family, and Timberline did not disappoint. Growing up in Kansas, I played from the men’s tees (because let’s be honest—no one wants to hear, “You only won because you played the ladies’ tees”). 😄 This course is absolutely beautiful—every hole was scenic, peaceful, and just challenging enough to keep you focused but still let you enjoy the game. I haven’t played in a while, and though I only managed two pars and a few over, I held my own and barely lost to my husband (played from the ladies’ tees... for now 😉). The food from the Bar &…

We loved the course nice greens and fairways but first time playing 4 people. Had a single and a twosome behind us so let them through and then the Marshall informed us we were 12 minutes behind we explained we let a couple groups through and then he came back around to tell us we were behind again a few holes later. Nothing like that to ruin a game. We finished in exactly 4 hours so not playing slow. We were told it would be 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Absolutely beautiful course. They set tee times every 8-9 minutes. I've never seen so many people on a course. At one point we were stopped by the course Marshall and he told us we were 12 minutes off pace, we were playing faster than I've ever played. I skipped putts, skipped shots, and at one point we skipped a hole (which I've never done) I could not enjoy myself because of how rushed we were. You can tell they are about booking as many tee times as possible and that's it.

(Update) The difference a few weeks can make. I played in a tournament day the course was in MUCH better shape,I couldn't believe how different it was today. Staff still friendly and helpful.The greens were slower,fairways pretty good and the course layout is what I like most about Timberline.

This course has the potential to be great, but recent changes in management or policy seem to be prioritizing quantity over quality, to the detriment of the player experience. Our recent visit was marred by several issues, beginning with a very rude encounter in the pro shop. The employee seemed aggressive and mean, setting a negative tone for our round. Furthermore, despite arriving fifteen minutes before our tee time to warm up on the range, we were immediately rushed by the starter, who insisted we tee off. We then had to wait for the group ahead of us, only to be approached by a marshall b…

One of the worst golfing experiences I’ve had lately. Granted I was a couple minutes late to my tee time, but had made up for it as I was 10 min ahead of pace of play thru 3. Marshall came and asked me to skip the 4th hole because of a Junior Tournament. Offered to let me play the first 3 holes again but still poor course management The main issue was the back 9. Skipped the last two holes because pace of play. Caught up to another group on the tee 5 holes in a row.

I just moved here and joined this club. Very nice course and picturesque. The staff is very friendly. If you come and play here let me give you a heads up. These greens are fast. Don't want you to turn a birdie putt on the first green into a boogie.

Very nice course and well maintained for the massive size. Great shape and the greens were in nice shape and true. Solid value for the money and I will keep this course on my list to play along with the Roberr Trent Jones courses.
