Timberlakes is a nine hole course set in a small strip at Springer Lake Park. The course is long, narrow and flat with lots of benches, a basketball court, horseshoe pits, playground areas and some picnic tables. It's ringed with trees and brush so the rough is present on every hole. The course starts at the east end near the boat launch and circles around the park with holes 1-5 playing to the west end before holes 6-9 play back to the start. There are course signs and maps at both ends of the park as well as sani-cans and signs telling you that this course is for for Timberlake residents only.

The baskets are a basic version of unknown origin. The tee pads are natural and marked with a board. I found the first three easily identifiable and rest AWOL. The course plays in a counterclockwise direction with each basket set either on the edge of the park or just barely in the woods. So most holes have the same feeling with an anhyser throws needed. A good forehand would be golden here. The three tee-boards that I found were 300', 290' and 280'. Other holes seemed to be of the same general length.

Private? Semi-private? Signs but they don't care? I don't really know for sure.

Tee pads aren't easy to find.

Repetitious feel to the holes.

There might be a small ditch or stream during the wet seasons.

Tough to navigate and hard to find tee-boards combined with very repetitious holes don't add up to a winning combination but if I were a snobby member here at Timberlakes, I'd be playing this course.

UPDATE: This course is now listed as Springer Park. That is what the course sign says.
