Timberview Golf Club

Augusta It Ain’t – But It Is A Helluva Lotta Fun
My usual courses were busy getting their greens punched and aerated this week, so I was desperate to find a place to sneak in a quick round. I had played Timberview 11 years ago, and it was a certifiable goat pasture. I’ve come to understand that they have been under new management for several years now, and what a difference 11 years can make. Back then I walked off the 18^th hole and vowed never to return. Today I finished all 18, and went back for a second round.
The greens are still the small old-​fashioned variety, and many of them are the old– school Turtle Shell type. They are well maintained and run as well as any of the muni courses in the area. The fairways are narrow, and there is both a first and second cut rough. The fairways are a little on the scruffy side, and the second cut rough will make balls do a disappearing act. Your best sticking to your straightest clubs out here – any doubt and you’re out.

If you’re looking for a great course, this is not it. Good for practice, that’s all.

Terrible service. Worst greens I’ve ever seen. This place is FunCity without the weeds.
I booked a flight for a foursome on GolfNow. I went to check in and there were two people in line ahead of me.
The gentleman working the cash register seemed jovial and polite so I was looking forward to having a pleasant start to my day. I don’t know what I did to offend him, or if the color of my shirt reminded him of something, but his expression soured immediately after wishing the customer in front of me a good round. We made eye contact and I felt very uncomfortable because of how drastic his personality changed. My «Good morning, sir.» got me a quick «mmhmm.» Lol.
He was curt and refused to make small talk, which is fine, but when I presented him with my vouchers from IdealGolfer he went on to lecture me and treat me like an idiot. If I say «ok» to an explanation and don’t argue with you, there really isn’t a need to get defensive and reexplain everything to me like I’m disagreeing.
He finished the one-​sided conversation with a very rude and condescending «Do. You. Understand?» as he swiped my debit card. He was one of those big guys that’s always a little sweaty regardless of the temperature.
Another employee completely ignored my friend and me when we were sitting by the entrance to the club house. She made sure to say hello to every single patron there and even yelled across the parking lot to say hi to some people that just pulled up, but the two guys sitting right next to her were practically invisible.
I don’t know what the heck was going on that day, but we felt very unwelcome.
The course conditions didn’t make up for the poor treatment. The greens were slow, overgrown, and the ground was rock hard throughout the entire course. There were a few interesting holes with some nice scenery, but after the crappy service we decided never to return.
There’s tons of great golf to played in the metroplex. Spending my time and money at Timberview was a mistake that I’ll never make again.
