Timberlake Country Club

Hole 1 sets the tone at Timberlake Country Club in South Carolina, United States: a short par 4 running alongside Lake Murray with a steep bank left and the lake right. The par-71, 18-hole private layout — designed by Willard Byrd — plays to 6,579 yards from the back tees and over 5,000 yards from the forward tees. Water comes into play on seven holes, and the routing mixes level and hilly fairways with right and left doglegs throughout. The closing hole, a par 5, demands a blind tee shot over bunkers and the lake before opening to an expansive view of Lake Murray. The course earned the #4 ranking on GolfPass's 2024 National List of Top 25 Most Improved Courses. A spacious outdoor putting green is available for warm-up. The 14,000 sq ft clubhouse includes lounges, a fitness center, two tennis courts that double as four pickleball courts, and a resort-style swimming pool.
