Coming along strong

Greens are improving rapidly. In the local area only Bostick and Hawkstone are better.

Great practice facility and 19th hole is convenient with good food.

Enjoyable layout.

Tree limbs growing out into fairway need to be cut back.

Good condition

Course was in good condition. Greens were good. Was down visiting my niece and it was down the street. Course layout was a little too straight for me but I guess it was a good challenge to hit straight! Staff was friendly.

Fun

Course was fun and decent for winter golf. Fairways are a little thin, but tee boxes/greens were lush and good condition. Course layout was on the simple side, and friendly for beginner golfers (my wife) I felt.

Recovering nicely

Course continues to be improved. Hard work by property owners is paying off. Greens are nice and roll fairly well with overseeded rye. Fairways are rough in spots but effort to raise the tree canopy will improve growth on the fairways as the spring season progresses. As a past member (1976-1990) it is fun to play this course again.

Much Improved

Played Turkey Creek ten months ago, and the conditions were poor at best. This time the greens and collars had been overseeded, and even the greens were slow, they were in great shape and rolled true. The fairways were still a little sparse in places, but could always find some grass to hit from. Glad that the club is investing in improvements as Gainesville needs some better golf options for sure.

What a lovely golf course

Every time I play this course it gets better. Played a Gator Country tournament there a few days ago and the Comments from the ladies were all happy to see the course in such great shape. Thank you for all the hard work

Great course

The fairways are a little thin right now due to all the cold weather we've had but the staff does an excellent job trying to keep up. The greens are in very good shape. Overall great course.
