The Timbers at Troy, Elkridge, MD

Timbers is a bit over priced for what you get. The course is maintained - ok. Their practice range and putting areas are pretty lame. The course is moderately challenging. My biggest issue is with their greens. They dont really roll true. During the summer some of the greens are burned out with patches everywhere and it seems they dont have a maintenance crew going through and repairing divots.

This is not a high end golf course, but it is a fun course to play. The price is a bit high for the area, but not significant enough to skip it. I live close by and this is my 4 pm course after a day of work in the summer. I must say over the past 3 years, the course is slowly getting worse. There are constantly areas under repair on the fairways, and bad patches of weeds on tee boxes. In 2006 or 2007 this was a must play course, with very nice fairways and greens. In 2010 it is just another public course with a reasonable layout. I would play it much less, if i lived farther away.
