Awful Greens

Played in twosome sandwich he'd between 4 Male foursomes and 3 fe.ale foresomes.Round took 4.25 hours. Many greens were unsuitable due to numerous weeds causing bumbing unpredictable rolls.

Missed opportunity

This course has a good layout, but it is being sold for development and I think someone already laid off the groundskeeper. Course conditions were awful: weedy, bumpy greens, teeboxes mostly dirt, and fairways full of weeds. We decided to play because we knew the course was being closed and wanted to play it one last time, but there weren't many positives.

Closing

Turtle Creek is closing near the last part of April. The t boxes were so so needing attention Fairways were pretty good The greens pretty much tucked. Moss bald spots and little tufts of grass piking up here and there make your put bounce around not rolling very smooth. I live that course probably my favorite hate to see it closing. Extremely disappointing

Not Good

The course is closing at the end of May, so basically zero upkeep has been done in a while. The tee boxes and fairways are just O.K., but the greens are terrible - weed ridden, or bare earth, rock solid and impossible to read. Bottom line, pay a little more and play Duran or Viero East!

Course Closing

We heard from staff at the Twisted Birch restaurant next door that course is closing, over 300 homes going in. Greens, Fairways, tee boxes all in 2 star shape. Nice people, but won't be back. Good restaurant next door, they're afraid they will probably close to when the course closes. Bathroom on front nine spewed black water out of the sink facet and black when I flushed the toilet. Cheapest place to play on the coast for a reason. Also they let so many singles out, not good. No mas !

End of a Rockledge institution

Turtle Creek was my go to course. They have a $10 twilight walking rate and for the money you can't beat that. Unfortunately, they will be closing at the end of May 2025. I'm sad to see this course shut down. It has been around since 1975 and I've played it for over 10 years. There isn't a course on the Space Coast that offers a deal as good as Turtle Creek. I have a lot of fond memories playing this track.

Good quality/price ratio

The course has not a good visual look. The green were looking brown but they were straight and fast, not nice but in good condition. The fairways are honest but they need better maintenance to have a good condition.

The ratio quality/price was fair for the course condition.

Going down hill

Well, that was probably the last time on the course. I don't think the course was ever over-seeded this year and the greens bald in a lot of spots. The sell of the course has caused them to go into, just cut the grass when needed mode. If you forget anything after your round, forget it. You'll never see it again. I know it was my fault to forget my range finder, but it was there. With someone else name on it. Never got it back.

Ok, but

Nice layout. But not in good shape. Last time I played it a year ago it was fine. Many bad spots on greens. Some fairways with absolutely no grass. Had to move my ball several times. Hope they improve it.

Greens and tees in very poor condition

We have played here regularly over the years, but not since Nov 23. We were shocked at the deterioration in the course condition since then…very sad.

Get a tee time while you can

Just about everyone was talking about Turtle Creek potentially being bought and turned into housing. And the course is clearly being let go. Shame - enjoyed the layout and staff were friendly and helpful. Tee boxes were chewed up. Fairways were ok - but had some nasty patches and greens literally looked sunburned. Many had dirt or weed patches as well. Clubhouse is a trailer - but pro shop still well stocked.

Got paired with great group of locals who taught me the courses twists and turns - good times.
