In the late 1950s, Robert Trent Jones Sr. laid out over 7,100 yards of golf. In 1959, the course was completed and play began at Timberlane. Over the past several years, the course has matured; the oaks planted as small seedlings along the fairways nowclearly define the layout and offer spectacular holes.
The course has four sets of tee areas, 17 water hazards and 80 sand bunkers in play on the course. For those not familiar with the course, you may find it friendly, while challenging at the same time. Timberlane is New Orleans’ golf destination. The course is approximately 10 minutes from the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.
Before play, golfers can warm up on the spacious, all-grass, lighted practice range or hone their chipping, pitching and sand play directly onto the large practice and putting green. Allfairways have bermudagrass; greens are covered with TifEagle, a very fine-textured dwarf bermuda-grass.
