Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee This long dogleg left par-5 is only reachable in two by the longest of hitters. A driver is not necessary off the tee – a 200 yard tee shot
From The Fairway (depending on the tee box you play) will place you in good position and also takes a small hazard right of the fairway out of play.
On The Green . A solid second shot will allow a wedge approach to the green. The tendency on this hole is to under-club on the second shot, bringing the trees on the inside edge of the dogleg into play, especially if the flagstick is placed back left.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A long par-4 with out of bounds to the left and a lateral hazard to the right make this the most demanding driving hole on the course.
From The Fairway Find your yardage to the 150 yard marker and hit the club that will get you there
On The Green Anything inside of 150 yards will leave you with a downhill lie to an elevated green – a tough shot. Par is a great score on this hole!
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Straightforward par-3 with heart-shaped green. Bunker in front of green sees a lot of balls for two reasons
From The Fairway the hole is slightly uphill and often plays into the wind.
On The Green If the hole location is tucked left, play to the center of the green. There have been more aces on this hole than any other par-3 at TimberCreek.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole has been redesigned
From The Fairway Originally a drive down the slope would find a hazard to the left of the fairway. This hazard has been filled in and the fairway reshaped
On The Green allowing long drives to gather at the bottom of the slope and making this 600 yard par-5 reachable in two! #4 Magnolia is now one of TimberCreek’s finest and certainly most enjoyable holes.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Club selection is everything
From The Fairway This par-3 is downhill and plays downwind to the prevailing wind
On The Green Another factor making club selection vital is the shallow green, which is only 25 paces from front to back. Pick the right club and a birdie is waiting for you!
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee If the hole is located on the back tier, pay attention to the hole location chart – there is a 3-club difference in yardage from the front of the top tier to the back of the top tier.
From The Fairway If the hole is located on the front tier, make sure you leave yourself short of the hole or you will have a tough two-putt
On The Green A two-tiered green measuring 52 yards deep is the defining characteristic of this par-4 hole
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Course architect Earl Stone calls this “a rest hole; if you don’t make a par, you should be arrested”.
From The Fairway A short, straight par 4 with no fairway bunkers, the landing area is wide open. A fun short hole.
On The Green
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee This par-4 plays much shorter if you can carry the hill short of the 150 yard marker. Anything short of the 150 yard marker can funnel back towards the tee and make your approach shot long and difficult.
From The Fairway
On The Green The perfect tee shot is a draw around the corner, leaving a short iron into the green. If the hole is located back left, club selection becomes paramount – short in the bunker leaves a difficult up and down and over the green is trouble as well.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The longer you hit your drive, the more narrow the fairway becomes. The perfect tee shot is a slight fade matching the shape of the fairway.
From The Fairway If you rely on the mounds left of the fairway to direct your ball back into play, you may end up with a hanging lie.
On The Green The key to this hole is hitting your green approach shot from the fairway, even if you have to lay back with an fairway wood or iron off the tee.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A slight dogleg right, this is one of the easier holes on the course. Depending on your length and the tee you play,
From The Fairway a driver is not always necessary.
On The Green The green can be a little tricky, with the slope running away from you and often times balls will release to the back fringe.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee A great par 5. This hole is reachable with two solid shots
From The Fairway If you can’t make it in two, your next priority is to avoid the oak tree on the left with your lay-up
On The Green Putting canbe difficult, as the green slopes deceptively from right to left.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee A tough driving hole. The ideal shot is a slight fade which matches the direction of the fairway.
From The Fairway Deep rough and a blind approach awaits the player who drives his ball in the depression left of the fairway. If the pin is back right, a tee ball in the fairway bunker spells bogey or worse.
On The Green
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee A par 3, players tend to aim right.
From The Fairway . With the predominant wind left to right, many balls end up right of the green with a tough up and down, especially if the flag stick is back.
On The Green . Hole generally plays a little longer than yardage due to wind direction and slightly uphill terrain.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A dogleg right with out of bounds left and right; the ideal shot is a slight fade with enough club to carry the fairway bunker on the right
From The Fairway
On The Green This type of shot will increase your target area due to the shape of the hole. The wind is predominantly left to right, so aim your fade further left than you normally would to avoid the fairway bunker.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee A par 3, this hole’s difficulty is determined by the pin position. If the pin is up front,
From The Fairway the hole not only plays much shorter but the shape of the green will funnel many balls closer to the hole.
On The Green If the pin is on the back tier, however, it is extremely difficult to get the ball close. The green slopes away from the player and most balls with release into the back fringe. Anything right of the green will bounce even further right and leave you with a tough recovery.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway If the pin is on the back tier, however, it is extremely difficult to get the ball close. The green slopes away from the player and most balls with release into the back fringe. Anything right of the green will bounce even further right and leave you with a tough recovery.
On The Green If you can hit a good drive, however, you may be in position to go for the green. The lake will deter many from attempting to reach the green in two, but a lay up is not easy either. Club selection when laying up is vital. If in doubt, you have the option of laying up even further back to the 150 yard marker.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee One of the easier holes on the course.
From The Fairway Straight and short, two good shots will get you a birdie.
On The Green If the flag is positioned in the front, you may have to land your approach short of the green in order get it close.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee A wonderful finishing hole. A long par 4 than doglegs slightly to the left.
From The Fairway The fairway bunker on the left gets a lot of business. The ideal tee ball is a draw down the right side of the fairway which will leave a long to mid iron approach to the green.
On The Green The green features tough pin positions back left and back right. The smart play is often to the center of the green where a two-putt par is always a good score.
