What to Expect

When playing at Timber Point, expect a course that's engaging but not overly punishing—ideal for golfers with a handicap of around 10 to 20. Strategic shot placement is key, especially on the par-3 holes, where water hazards can come into play. Keep an eye out for the bunkers that guard the greens; a well-placed shot can save you a few strokes.
