Timberton Golf Club - Valley/Lakeview Course

22 Clubhouse Rd
Hattiesburg, MS 39401
Phone: (601)584-4653Fax: (601)543-0622

This facility added the nine hole Lakeview Course in 1998, giving it three nine hole courses that can be played in three eighteen hole combinations. The new holes were designed by James Ray Carpenter, past president of the PGA, and Ron Hickman, the director of golf. The Lakeview nine was carved out of adjacent timberland and is tighter than the original holes with more trouble coming into play. The original hilly, yet open Creekside and Valley courses have water hazards coming into play on twelve holes. Many large trees are scattered about the course and can alter your shots. In addition to all the water, there are fifty-four bunkers incorporated into the course design, including ten on one hole. The signature hole on the Creekside Course is #9, a 380-yard, par 4, because it is very picturesque. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996. The same publication ranked it as the 4th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 5th best for 1997-98. This course has played host to 1993 USGA Senior Amateur Qualifying Round and the 1994 Skytel MPGA State Open.

Desert Aire Golf Course
"golfer"
A good course with well maintained greens and fairways. Deserves about a three and one half rating.

Goose Creek Golf Club
"Great course for the aveage golfer"
This is a first rate facility for any golfer. A great putting green and practice area. The course is an intersting yet very playable for the average golfer and a challange from the tips for the better player. Good tee shots are a must. You can get into trouble with an errant tee shot on some of the holes. The greens are interesting. Some are multi layered and were in great condition the last time I played there.

"Great Beginner couse"
This course is great for beginners. Althought the course is go for starters it is also challenging. Some of the green can be quiet hard. The 5th hole in my opinion is the hardest. This course is my home course formy school golf team and it can be very hard for even some good players.

Sharp Park Golf Course
"Great Value ."
Sharp Park is a city owned course. Extremly reasonable rates. Twilight rate in the summer is about $5.00!!! What a value. It's an older course, fairly flat, easily walked, although carts are available. Several years ago the course was redesigned. Several holes were lengthened, a beautiful pond was added. It only comes into play on one hole and only on the mens tees. Due to the reasonable rates, the course has players of all skill levels.
