Turtle Creek Golf Club

Need to get a few more Fresh Food items like burgers and Maybe a new vendor for the hot dogs .

Staff was super friendly. Course was in great condition. We booked this kind of last minute. Just a twosome. We were paired up with another twosome who had a first-time golfer with us. They intelligently told us to go ahead of them, as they’d be slow. Incredibly, they stayed pretty close behind us the whole time, because there was a foursome a couple groups ahead of us who was apparently on pace for a 5 hour round, and they didn’t let anyone pass them. Ranger didn’t encourage them to let the other groups pass, and the other twosomes in front of us were too kind to hit into them to give them hint that they’re too slow. So, some course management intervention was definitely necessary.

But then, Almost 3 and a half hours into the round when we were on hole 12, the sky opened up and the lightning came. No horn, Which I actually kind of appreciate, but we decided to go in. We waited and had a drink, and the staff was super friendly and interacted with us and asked about our round and where else we play, etc.

The storm only lasted about 30 minutes, but by then It was almost 8:30pm, so we had to take a rain check (but it got me thinking that we probably weren’t going to finish anyway since the pace of play was so slow). It took us 3 hours to get through 12, another hour would have only gotten us to 16 at 9:00).

They prorated the rain check based on the number of holes we played. So here’s my problem with that. As a businessperson, I can understand the owners valuing each hole as 1/18th of the entire cost. But a golfer doesn’t think of it like that. A golfer pays for the ROUND, and our round was cut short by slow play and then a storm (that we probably could have beaten anyway, or at least finished the last hole or two after the storm if we were playing at a reasonable pace). So we got some money for the next round, but it would have gone a lot better if the rain check was for the entire back nine, as we were only a couple holes in. And we’re only talking a couple dollars to a businessperson, but a great sign of sportsmanship to a golfer.

Turtle Creek is getting a temporary 1 star review. The course is great, it's in good shape and basically everything golf related met my expectations. I do like this course. Unfortunately, these guys have some work to do keeping customers safe. The two person per cart policy is unacceptable. They are the only course i have played in the last two months with that policy and the guy in the pro shop (with his mask under his chin) tried to defend it, like it would cost them so much money to have one person per cart. I'll not be back until the pandemic is over.

Great pace of play! Greens and fairways were in fantastic shape. Definitely one of the better courses in the area.

Charging weekday rates for Fridays is fantastic! Fairways and greens were in great shape and the spaced out tee times made pace of play perfect

Had an awesome time and will definitely be back. The staff was great and the course was challenging, greens were a lot faster than some other courses around the area. Def recommend checking it out, great value.

Very nice course, in very good shape. Since we are in the pandemic and no racks in traps the option was to remove ball from trap and play where it entered or play out of trap. The issue with playing out of traps was almost all were very hard and tough to chip out. Only issue with course is many ball marks on greens that individuals don’t repair. Highly recommend playing the course

My son treated me to a round for Father’s Day. We played as a twosome and we finished our round in three hours and 30 minutes. I thought the course was in very good shape. The only recommendation I would make would be to cut the roof a little bit shorter to make it easier to find a bar that goes off the fairway. Other than that I felt the tea boxes in greens and fairways were in great shape. The Ranger did a good job in keeping everyone moving.

The difficulty with this course lies in the rough. It’s not super tall buts it’s thick and well maintained. It’s like hitting a ball that’s been plunged into a sponge. Find the fairways or face the consequences. Great course, lots of fun.

Course is always in very good shape - very good $ value. Course is challenging from blue tees. Unfortunately it was “cart path only” due to recent heavy rain so play was a bit slow.

Played with My Son around noon on a Monday. Tee times spaced out every 16 minutes so pace of play was excellent. We didn’t try to set any speed records as we were enjoying the weather and the day together but we played in 3 and 1/2 hours walking. The group in front of us was also a twosome who teed off on two before we teed off one. We stayed a hole behind them all day and didn’t see a group behind us until the 17th hole when a twosome in single carts appeared behind us.

The course is in good shape for May given how cold it’s been in Eastern PA. As I pulled in I immediately noticed how green the course was. The rough was lush but cut to about 2 1/2” so not overly penal. Tee boxes and fairways in very nice shape. A little on the thin side but I think they’ll fill in nicely over the next couple of weeks given the forecast. The greens were in excellent shape. They rolled faster than anything I’ve played this year north of South Carolina. They were hard and true. Balls coming from the rough would really roll out but a crisply hit iron from the fairway would check up for you. The sand traps looked in good condition but a local rule had them played as GUR due to no rakes (COVID-19).

The course is very pleasant with a nice mix of easy to hard holes. The course opens with an uphill par 4 that plays to around 400 yards from the blue tees with a generous landing area and a lone bunker on the right side of the green. It gives you a chance to ease into the round with an open par five as the second hole. The third is a short par 3 with water on the left and well bunkered. . The green is two tiered and can be a difficult two putt off on the wrong level.

The most difficult hole on the front is definitely the par 4 sixth. It is listed at 424 but plays uphill usually into the wind. On the day we played, there was a 20 mph wind into us. The hole played more like 470. The back is a lot of fun starting off with a short par 4 that runs a long a driving range with a huge net running down most of the hole. All in all a lot of variety. No two holes are similar and the conditions are usually good to very good.

I did not use any off course amenities this time. They usually have a great selection of microbrews. We say the cart girls twice on each nine. . The starter was very friendly. Joked around with us while we waited. I can’t wait to play TC again soon.

One of the beat courses in the area! Beautiful Views! Great for all level of players.

Staff is kind and helpful.

Can’t wait to tee one up at The Creek again!

Even at a full hours drive , this course is an absolute gem. Always in top condition and a super staff make this , in my opinion, one of the best daily fee courses in this area.

Good shape

Staff was great

Offered free hotdogs and a drink for Veterans Day( nice touch)

Following 2 days of rain and being C.P.O. and a free drop from the bunkers my playing partner and i enjoyed a balmy after noon of golf. This course constantly maintains its high standards. I would play here every week if i could.
