Best public course in town

Turkey Creek has done a great job of coming back to life since being closed for a number of years, revived by the community property owners who worked hard to get it into shape, and now well-managed for the homeowners by a company that seems to be doing all the right things. The fairways are in pretty darned good shape and the greens are very well maintained. Restrooms are clean and well stocked. The 19th hole has a fine beer, burger and full bar. Turkey Creek is head and shoulder's above the only other fully public course in town, which is owned and poorly operated by the City of Gainesville.

Heat and lack of water burned some greens But they are much improved. Concrete cart paths now around all tees and greens. 4 hrs now delays

Great people. Great story! The miracle of Turkey Creek

The absolute most welcoming staff! Great course layout! Good place to work on the game. They are going through some challenges, but the people and their courtesy to visitors is amazing. I will definitely go back for many more rounds!

Great layout but poor maintenance

Thie course layout is great, but lack of maintenance.

Greens are old and they have to keep it higher than the normal. It makes a bad putting experience. Also, too many unplayable spots.

There is no grass on the range.

Putting practice is totally slow.

Tee boxes needs some love.

Always a good time

Course is in good shape. Always fun with live music, drinks and food at the turn. Only complaint is the course gets stacked up with 10 minute intervals. Be prepared to play ready golf, but also be prepared to wait behind a group. Great experience altogether.
