Great job

I heard everything bad that happens to the golf club. I was not expecting anything more than the very low average experience.

I was very impressed with how they are turning the golf course. There is so much to do and they are on the right track.

GREAT JOB!

layout and fairway conditions challenging

Got lost a few times in between holes, layout confusing, lots of leaves on the course made locating golf balls time consuming.

fairways were often like playing on a beach.

!9th hole made up for the challenging course with good service and choice of menu

Great winter greens

The greens were in great shape and you can tell they really put the work in. The fairways were average but for the price you pay it's worth it. I will be back.

Winter greens are here!

The over-seeded greens have grown in, look good, and are now rolling better than ever. The 19th Hole opens at 11:00 a.m. daily and is well worth a post round visit.

Greens

Greens still need help. Tough putting through sand and shaggy over seeding. I line the layout and hoping they can get conditions improved

Better Every Round

Turkey Creek has improved from round to round for this golfer-- I salute the tireless efforts of the staff and volunteers to make for an enjoyable day at the course-- If only they could improve my game as quickly as they have the course itself-- As the title states, it's getting better every round !!

Best shape since reopening in Jan ‘21

The greens and tees were top-dressed and overseeded with winter rye on Nov 8/9. Fairways are dry and firming up. Pace of play is fantastic with tees times nicely spaced. While range balls aren’t new, they are the best value around at about 12/$1 and the range is well-maintained with a grass teeing area and short-game practice area. This is fast-becoming the go-to public course in the Gainesville/Alachua area
