Pros:
-This course has excellent disc golf amenities, ie, nice tees and baskets
-This is also a fully functioning park so there are bathrooms and other activities here
-Course layout makes great use of the allotted area, using both the wooded section and the open parts well
-This course seems to get a lot of play, the fairways are well beaten in, and there are clear paths to the next tee areas
-This is a relatively flat course, with a massive hill that come sinto play on holes 1 and 21, other than that there is sort of a continuous gradual slope through the whole course. For the elevation present, it is used very well.
-Basket placements are always thoughtful. There are maybe two baskets on the whole course that are just out in the open, most baskets are tucked away, or in a tree cluster, some are even raised on an artificial mound.
-I would describe this course as "moderately wooded" there are many holes that into a couple big trees are part of the whole, but when the course dives in and out of the woods, trees define the course well. Also, there is a definitive 50/50 split of open and wooded areas at Timber Park but the course doesn't play 10 holes in the woods than 11 holes out, it dives in and out, which is a great feature that keeps a player on their toes
-As mentioned above, Navigation is kinda tricky out here if you are just out by yourself, but that is unlikely to happen
-Garbage buckets on every tee seem to cut down on the garbage throughout the course, great solution to my least favorite problem.
Cons:
-Baskets are in good condition, just not my favorite type, Mach III's just aren't the greatest
-Tee signs aren't present, there are faded numbers painted on the tee pads, some of them are even incorrect I think, but it is really no big deal because uDisc can help and there are likely tons of locals out here that you can follow.
-There is a creek that comes into play on one whole, normally I would complain about how it isn't used more, but, it really stank. For holes 10-13ish there was a massive stench that was overpowering, not sure what the heck the deal with that is, but it was annoying
-The lengths are pretty consistent, on probably 75% of the holes it is a fairway driver shot (for me) and a couple driver or midrange tee shots sprinkled in. I would like to see a little more variety out here. There is definitely space for a couple longer holes and/or par 4's and maybe not 21 holes. Don't get me wrong, this place fits in a solid 21 holes, but I always feel that the strange number of holes courses could be made just a touch harder/professional at 18 holes. And that's not to say that this is a beginner friendly course at 21, it isn't, i think it might be a little harder.
Other Thoughts:
This course is super close to Milo McIver, so many people probably don't set out to play this one specifically. However, it does cost money to get into the state park, and timber is free, so it seems that more locals actually play timber park, and I can't blame them, Milo is a great course, but it is hard, and long, Timber Park, which is no small feat to play either, is almost a break, and free. If you're in the area, make time for both courses, Milo and timber are both great.
