Timber Creek Golf Club - Creekside Course

The greens are back. A little slow, but very consistent roll and coverage. This course is beautiful. With such a huge property I have a lot of respect for the upkeep. Friendly staff, a lot of water cans at every other hole it seemed,. The tee boxes are big and in good shape. I read reviews for the past year or two, the course is in great shape now. This course is definitely one of my favorites south of i10 now. I will be coming back

Booked tee time and nothing said about greens unplayable. Charged $72.00 dollars with unplayable greens is horrible. No senior discounts at this course either. Holes closed because they were under repair. Made up 58 yard par 3 to substitute for damaged holes. Will not play this course again.

This is one of the coolest layouts in Houston, so it’s sad to see the greens looking like they do. I felt bad walking on a couple greens because I couldn’t bear to ruin them anymore. I’ve never seen greens destroyed so badly. I can’t say it enough, golfers should not be allowed on those greens, and avoid this course right now at all costs.

I played a round nearby on Thursday for $20 at Pearland Golf Club and the greens were fantastic. Today a friend and I played Timber Creek. Like Thursday I walked and paid $60 (granted it is a Saturday vs Thursday fee, but still). What a waste of money. This course is in dreadful shape. The creek was full of trash. The greens were either sandy or just plain bad. The course overall wasn't even close to the condition that the nearby course was a couple of days ago. I would highly recommend you keep looking. This wasn't worth what we paid and until they get it back into playing shape $60 to walk a round is a joke.

Although they rolled pretty well, the greens have definitely seen better days.

Late winter conditions not bad. Fairways in good shape. Greens had some poa patches but putted decently. Bunkers were in excellent conditions. Carts top-notch.

Good design through trees and creeks. Excellent value for a public course, probably the best one south of Houston.

Good practice facility and friendly staff.

I reviewed this course a couple of months ago because the greens were so bad, considered the course unplayable. Since then the greens have grown in nicely, and I can now recommend it again. I'm glad to see it back in playable condition as it is my main course for play. The only issue now is the poor condition of the bunkers from all the rain. We just treat them as GUR and drop outside. If they could find a long-term solution to their bunker problems this course could be really great.

I play this course several times a year. A while back the greens were in bad shape, but they are much better now, they have bounced back strong. Other than some slightly torn up tee boxes, the course is in very good shape.

Worst greens on any course I have played this year. Absolutely horrible. No break on green fees...paid full price. I have attached a picture. This is very typical of what we played on. They were super dry, crusty, with huge bare spots. Does not appear they have been watered in quite some time. Several greens also had huge POA sticking up to deflect your putts. Many tee boxes had weeds 2 or 3 inches high. Fairways were decent. Bunkers, their bunkers usually have almost a small gravel like content but when we played they were packed hard. In all my years playing here, this is the worst condition I have ever seen Timber Creek in.

Greens are horrible. Simply put...horrible, dried out, bumpy, huge patches no grass at all. Also lots of weeds on many greens sticking way up above the surface. Bunkers packed hard, no sand (or in their case no crushed gravel or whatever they usually have). Fairways not bad. Tee boxes...lots of weeds.

I hate to have to write this review as this is my go-to course, and I have always enjoyed all three of the courses. However, the greens are so bad on Creekside it's like putting on dirt. There are a few weeds growing in spots on the greens, but absent the weeds there really is no grass, just sand from top dressing after punching. A slow rolling ball wobbles between the tufts of weeks as if in a pinball machine. The pines course was a little better, but still not great. I haven't had a chance to see the Trails greens, but have heard they are better than Pines and Creekside. I think they need to close down Creekside and totally replace the greens or do something to resurrect them. I understand it is costly in lost revenues not to mention the expense to cure the problem, but if people stop playing the course, that may be more damaging to profitability. They also have long suffering bunker issues. We automatically declare them ground under repair on every round because of their conditions.

Excellent conditions for the very wet weather we have had. Course is a enjoyable layout. Excellent driving range and putting facilities

Nothing worse than paying $70 for the worst greens in Houston. Upon finishing up a horrible round, we were actually screamed at by a staff member (from home 1) who believed we were parked close to the green on hole 18. Extremely unprofessional. Will not be back.

Overall not bad. Two greens, 3 and 7 on creekside are lost. Dirt patches all over. Unputtable.

We played The Pines and Timber Trails. The course was in great shape. We had a great time in the restaurant following our round. The food and drink were refreshing, and Sierra provided great service. We look forward to returning to Timber Creek in the near future.

Took a few clients out to Timber Creek for a round of golf. When I booked the tee time, the staff informed me that the greens hadn't quite transitioned for the summer. They provided half price greens fee. When I showed up, the staff was very friendly and reminded me of the current conditions. After playing a few holes, I could tell the current condition of the greens were abnormal. The entire course was well maintained and provided a challenging, but fun layout.

Greater Houston area has had a tremendous amount of rainfall so far this year. Yesterday, the area by Timbercreek got a tremendous amount of rain. I played in Little John Golf League tournament at Timber Creek today. We played Pines and Timber Trail 9s. Not real fond of what Timbercreek uses in their bunkers. It is more like crushed gravel than sand. Very heavy. The bunkers had not been worked. So, they were packed and had lots of standing water but were still playable.
It was Cart Path Only, as expected. The tee boxes were pretty good. Not much standing water on the tee boxes. The fairways were also in pretty good shape. We played Lift Clean and Replace which helped so you did not have to hit mud balls.
At a glance, the greens did not look all that bad but there definitely was lots of areas where the grass was pretty thin or there were very small bare spots. I am guessing this was due to all the rain we have had but cannot say for sure. For the most part, the greens putted fairly well. Only had a few putts that bounced around due to the bare spots.
The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The food in the grill is very good too.
Always enjoy playing Timbercreek. Hopefully their greens improve as the weather gets better.

I've been playing golf in the Houston area for nearly 25 years now but had never been to Timber Creek until today. Very friendly staff and well managed from starter to cart girl to pro shop. We played The Pines/Timber Trails and I actually enjoyed the The Pines better even though Timber Trails is their "signature" nine. Timber Trails was much tighter with some forced carries.
