TimberCreek Launches Renovation and Member Upgrades

TimberCreek Golf Club has entered a transformative new chapter with the launch of a comprehensive renovation program designed to elevate course conditions, modernize infrastructure, and enhance the overall member and guest experience. The initiative follows the club’s recent acquisition by Bloom Golf Management, which has committed significant resources to revitalizing the 27-hole facility and strengthening its long-term operational stability.

Bloom Golf Management assumed stewardship of TimberCreek with a clear mission: restore the club’s standout features, improve year-round playability, and reinvest in amenities that reinforce TimberCreek’s standing as a premier Gulf Coast golfing destination. As one of the region’s most accessible championship facilities, the course has long been appreciated for its rolling terrain, wetlands, and wooded corridors—features that will be showcased even more prominently as improvements progress.

Renovation Scope and Phasing

Renovations are currently underway on the Dogwood and Pines nines, with the Magnolia nine scheduled for upgrades in 2026 to ensure consistent quality across all three routings. The work includes:

  • Complete bunker reconstruction to modernize shaping, improve drainage, and enhance visual framing.
  • Cart path replacement and repair, improving both ride quality and long-term maintenance efficiency.
  • Expanded drainage systems to mitigate water retention and increase playability after heavy rainfall.
  • Turf and surface improvements, including reseeding, grading, and agronomic enhancements.
  • Strategic tree and vegetation clearing to restore sightlines, increase sun exposure, and improve turf health.
  • Refinement of landing areas and green surrounds to enhance playability for a wider range of golfers.

These upgrades are designed to minimize course closures, allowing members and guests to continue enjoying the property while improvements take shape. Bloom Golf Management reports that many visual and performance changes will be noticeable within the first two months of work.

A Course with Character and Regional Significance

Originally designed by respected architect Earl Stone, TimberCreek’s layout offers three distinct nine-hole experiences that weave through natural Gulf Coast landscapes. The course is known for its elevation changes, water features, and a routing that rewards creative shot-making. Renovations aim to preserve the course’s strategic integrity while addressing aging infrastructure and returning many original design elements to their intended form.

The club’s commitment to continuous improvement underscores its value not only as a recreational asset, but also as an economic and social anchor for the Daphne and Eastern Shore communities. Local golfers, traveling players, and outing groups rely on TimberCreek for daily play, tournaments, and social events, making these upgrades a meaningful investment in the region’s broader recreational offerings.

Enhancing the Member Experience

In addition to physical improvements, TimberCreek is rolling out a suite of new member enhancements, including:

  • Updated programming and events
  • Refreshed food-and-beverage options
  • New membership specials
  • Expanded practice facility plans
  • Stronger communication channels with members

“These renovations are about more than course conditions—they signal a commitment to delivering the highest-quality experience possible,” said representatives of Bloom Golf Management. “We’re excited to build on TimberCreek’s strong legacy while aligning the club with the expectations of today’s golfers.”

A Vision for Long-Term Excellence

While the current wave of renovations focuses on immediate upgrades, Bloom Golf Management has outlined a multi-year vision for TimberCreek that includes continued investment in facilities, technology, and service. This balanced approach ensures that TimberCreek remains competitive with top public and semi-private courses throughout the Gulf Coast region.

“TimberCreek has incredible potential, and these improvements are just the beginning,” Bloom added. “Our goal is to preserve what makes this property special while introducing enhancements that ensure long-term success for the course and its membership.”
