State with a degree in Golf and Sports
Management. He started his superintendent
career at Memphis National in 2006 and
has also worked at Eagle Creek, Shell
Landing, Wyndemere and recently started
at TimberCreek on March 1.
Thornton also is currently the Golf
Course
Superintendent
Association
president for Mississippi and Louisiana,
and is also a past president of Mississippi
Turf Grass Association.
To complement Thornton, the pro shop
and polite and eager restaurant staff are
just as inviting and are sure to put a smile
on all customers’ faces. The restaurant has
specials Monday-Friday from 11 a.m.-3
p.m. that also include dessert, and breakfast
is served daily.
The location is ideal considering it is only
two or three minutes off of the Interstate
Exit 38. Prices for a round of golf are also
affordable, especially considering how
beautiful the facility is.
There are 100 brand new Yamaha
golf carts, gas powered to overcome the
undulation of the golf course. They are
cleaned and detailed to perfection after
every round. The marshall has cold towels
and a cooler, and he rides around the
course constantly, ensuring all players are
satisfied with refreshments and pace of
play. The course has everything a tourist
would want while it respects the members
of TimberCreek.
The perfect venue for either the traveler
or as a destination, TimberCreek offers
challenges for the seasoned golfer while also
gifting forgiving opportunities to those who
are looking to enjoy the view. Named for
the towering trees and water that decorate
the facility, this picturesque property is the
perfect venue for travelers. Take the short
drive from the Gulf States Section over to
visit the Dixie professionals in Alabama.
It’s worth the very short trip to Daphne.
