Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links - Long 9

Played an evening round at Turkeyfoot after getting a great deal online. The course is in great condition and very green even with the lack of rain in the area. The course is not long, however, the day we played the pins were all on ridges or slopes and the greens were as slick as glass. This made placement of your approach shots key. There were times that members of my group were on the wrong side of the hole putting for birdie and had no chance to stop it within 10 feet of the cup. Overall, a nice challenge for any golfer and a prime example of how a course does not have to be long to be challenging.

Greens were in great shape as well as the fairways.

This course is always well kept and the staff is friendly. Our last trip we got stuck behind a league, so pace of place was pretty slow. We still enjoyed our round very much and definitely will be back.

Teed off by myself, no one in front of me. Played 12 holes in 1:15 (great). I got to number 13 and now I find 6 groups ( twosomes and foursomes) in front of me. poor management of course, to put these people out in front of me. I was very disappointed by this.

Course is in fantastic shape . My wife and I enjoyed our round

1224pm tee time arrived early and heavy play. Either over booked or an early outing. A few 3's went out even after checking with the starter but wasn't placed with any as a single to help fill in. 1st 3 holes can be seen from the clubhouse and 2 groups on each hole. The local gang was hanging around to get out, either as it opens or with a tee time no idea if they had one. They did get right ahead of my 4 some. All are locals who have played for years and work part time on the course, plus played a 5 some with the owners PGA pro's son. They do play fast but on the 2nd par 3 tee we had 13 waiting. At the turn a 20 min wait and still they did not take them out of line since play was so slow, 3:20 to hit on 10th tee. Again waited in middle of 10th fairway and since so close to the parking lot called it a day. This is not new for the course. Sad thing is at 10 the owner came out and talked with the group and I know all of them and played here for over 60 yrs. If need be they should have dropped out since even being no rev dollars.

The course is in great shape. Greens beautiful and rolling well. Always enjoyable here.

You can pretty much assume you've let too many golfers off if you are out of carts. We had to wait until just a couple minutes before our tee time to get a cart because they were all taken. There were then 3 groups on the first tee ahead of us even though it was time for us to tee off. We waited each and every shot and finished the front in 3 hours. The only good thing I can say is that they did give us a rain check for the back when we told them we were not willing to take another 3 hours to play 9 more holes. There is no excuse to allow that many golfers to play at the same time. I know they're in the business of making money but after I use my rain check I won't be back. I was really looking forward to playing there too since its been a few years since the last time I played there.

They continue to overbook. 6 hours for round starting at 11:45 on a Saturday. At the turn, new groups were even having to wait for carts coming off of 18 to start their round. Out of carts - overbooked?

Not only did the weather cooperate but I had a pretty good round
Pace of play was slower than I like.
The course is in great shape

Course condition was great, staff was friendly, and a fun amount of challenges. Not much water, which is nice for me :). Several holes are long and straight, with huge fairways - which is always fun getting a chance to swing 100%.

Great course, one of the gems around the area.
If you have not played it, give it shot you will enjoy.

Unless you enjoy spending 20-25 minutes per hole watching other people play, stay away from this course. Overbooked, no Ranger governing pace of play, and gross lack of golf etiquette from men who should have long since learned to respect other golfers' time. I left after the front nine(3 hours).

I well groomed course is worthless if you cant play it.

Ill never return and will certainly communicate my experience to many.

Greens were in great shape and were fast but true. They are taking better care of the course and have cleared many unattractive areas.

turkeyfoot in excellent shape despite days of rain

The course was in great shape. I enjoyed playing and the challenge of the the greens. Although I was disappointed with how many groups were sent off at the same time. Tee times are ment to regulate the start and there were 4 groups waiting to tee off at once.

A challenging golf course with rolling terrain and greens, some of the fastest greens you will put on but do roll true. As a first time to play at this course, I was not ready for the speed of the greens. I would suggest this course to anyone, we Teed off at 7:46 am and had no one in front of us , go early this course does get a lot of play at $30 for 18 and a cart the course was backed up when we finished.

Course is always in great condition, and also offers a challenge. The club house could use some updating.

Pace of play was quite slow 6000 yard 18. Took 6 hours. Greens were extremely firm and on several holes, if you were above the pin, it was a 8-10 ft put back. Full shot with a proV were not holding. Not one I will play again.

Played at noon on a Saturday and it took 5 1/2 hours!!!! We were a threesome following a FIVE-some! They followed a SLOW foursome. The foursome ended up 3 holes behind the group in front of them. Never once saw a ranger. Will most likely not go back. That is sad because the course is a very good test of golf.
