TimberStone Golf Course opened in 1989 in Iron Mountain, a small city in Michigan's Upper Peninsula near the Wisconsin border. Architect Jerry Matthews designed the course on rolling, wooded terrain characteristic of the region, incorporating the natural topography and mature forest into the routing. The layout takes advantage of elevation changes and the property's timber-lined corridors, creating a northwoods golf experience typical of Upper Peninsula courses. The course plays through a mix of open and tree-framed holes, with fairways that move across the property's natural contours. Water features come into play on several holes, and the design emphasizes strategic positioning off the tee to set up approach shots to greens protected by bunkers and natural grades. The routing offers variety in hole lengths and shot requirements, reflecting Matthews' approach to working within the existing landscape rather than extensive earthmoving. TimberStone serves as a public facility in a region where golf operates within a relatively short season due to Upper Peninsula weather patterns. The course attracts both local players and visitors exploring the Iron Mountain area, which sits in a historically mining-focused part of Michigan near the Menominee River. The facility provides a straightforward golf experience in a forested setting, representative of the accessible public courses found throughout northern Michigan and Wisconsin.
