About this course
Timber Banks, carved into the rolling drumlins of Baldwinsville, New York, presents a modern golfing challenge shaped by the hands of legendary architect Jack Nicklaus. Its scale is immediately apparent, sprawling across terrain once defined by glacial deposits. The routing presents generous fairways encouraging assertive play from the tee, though wayward shots are quickly penalized by strategically placed bunkers and subtly contoured greens demanding a deft touch. Expect long, undulating putts. Nicklaus' design philosophy is evident in the course's bold features and playability. While Timber Banks hasn't hosted major professional tournaments, it stands as a prominent fixture in Central New York's golfing landscape. It's a course enjoyed by locals and visitors alike and while the course hasn't won major accolades it’s a course that has remained a pillar in the region. Timber Banks is more than just a course. In fact, the club is also a full marina offering all sorts of lakeside activities from boating to fishing on the nearby banks. The membership actively participates in the local community of Baldwinsville. The clubhouse serves as a gathering place, fostering a welcoming environment where golfers can relax and share stories of the day’s rounds.

Getting there
Timber Banks Golf Club & Marina lies just northwest of Syracuse, with most arrivals touching down at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) before embarking on a straightforward twenty-minute drive through the rolling farmland and wooded corridors of Onondaga County. The route follows the gentle contours of the Seneca River basin, where the landscape softens into a patchwork of wetlands and hardwood stands before revealing the club's waterfront setting in Baldwinsville. This is quiet, unassuming Central New York - a region where golf and marina life converge along the historic Erie Canal corridor, and where the final turn off Route 48 delivers you directly to the clubhouse gates overlooking the shimmering expanse of the river.
