Timberton at Timberton Golf Club

Timberton Golf Club sits in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, a city in the southeastern part of the state known for its pine forests and gently rolling terrain. The course was designed by Mark McCumber, a PGA Tour player who transitioned to golf course architecture and has built a portfolio of layouts primarily across the southeastern United States. McCumber's design work typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating natural land features and native vegetation.

The Hattiesburg area provides a landscape of longleaf pines and hardwoods, with terrain that offers moderate elevation changes uncommon in much of the Deep South's coastal plain. Courses in this region often route through wooded corridors and feature bermudagrass playing surfaces suited to the warm, humid climate. Water features and strategic bunkering are common elements in McCumber's designs, encouraging thoughtful course management rather than purely demanding length.

Timberton serves as a daily-fee facility in a market where public access golf is an important part of the recreational landscape. The course provides a venue for local and regional play in an area where Mississippi's golf scene includes both resort destinations along the Gulf Coast and community-oriented layouts inland. The design reflects the practical needs of a course meant to accommodate regular play while offering enough variety and challenge to remain engaging over time.
