About this 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.

Getting there

Timber Creek Golf Course is most readily accessed via Sacramento International Airport (SMF), situated approximately twenty miles west of Roseville, with a straightforward thirty-minute drive eastward through the Sacramento Valley's suburban transition zone. The route carries you from the flat agricultural expanse into the rolling foothills of Placer County, where the landscape gradually shifts from strip malls and commercial corridors into the quieter, tree-lined residential neighborhoods that frame the course. As you approach Timber Creek, the urban sprawl recedes and you enter a more serene pocket of Northern California's Gold Country periphery, where mature oaks and pines signal your arrival at this well-appointed private sanctuary. The final turn onto the club grounds offers a welcome respite from the drive - a composed, manicured setting that feels distinctly removed from the bustle of the capital region, despite its proximity to Sacramento.
