Timber Creek Golf Course

Timber Creek Golf Course in Roseville, California, features two eighteen-hole layouts—the Lakes and Oaks courses—designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash. The facility sits in the Sacramento metropolitan area, where the terrain transitions from the Central Valley toward the Sierra Nevada foothills. Both courses opened in the late 1990s as part of Roseville's residential and recreational development during the region's significant growth period. The design work reflects Casper's playing experience and Nash's regional familiarity with Northern California golf architecture. The Lakes course incorporates water features more prominently into its routing, with ponds and creeks affecting play on multiple holes. The Oaks course takes its character from the native oak trees that define the property, creating tree-lined fairways and requiring more strategic placement off the tee. Both layouts present relatively flat to gently rolling terrain typical of the area, with bermudagrass fairways and bentgrass greens suited to the region's warm, dry summers and mild winters. Timber Creek operates as a public facility serving the greater Sacramento area, offering accessible golf in a region where public courses accommodate significant year-round play. The dual-course setup provides variety for regular players and allows the facility to host local tournaments and outings. The courses reflect the practical, player-friendly design approach common to daily-fee facilities built during California's 1990s golf boom, emphasizing playability across skill levels while incorporating enough challenge to keep experienced golfers engaged.
