TC GC

The staff informed us to go off back as the front was being fertilized. We made the turn preparing to play # 2 a ranger shows up and states the front is still closed the mtce was not completed. Back to #10 for the second time now there are 3 groups on the tee. Now being frustrated at having to play the back again we have to wait at the turn. As a group we decided to leave rather than get angrier.

Fun course

I played this course for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The greens need a little work but they weren’t bad. I look forward to playing it again. One of the better courses near the gainsville area.

Will be great after a rainy summer.

The course has recently opened back up and is in great shape for a fully volunteer run course. The greens roll nice, the fairways are nice and green. With nice tee boxes. The course itself is challenging, narrow fairways, well placed water, and good hills. The practice facility is great. The reason I give it a three is because some spots aren't great. There are dead spots in the fairway. The forward tee boxes have dirt spots. In a couple of months when the grass has fully grown back and the sprinklers do their jobs it should become a five star course (will update review later).

Disappointing

I had played Turkey Creek many years ago when I lived in the area, and before it had closed. The course has been open since January of this year, and is in rough shape. The greens were rough, bumpy, and slow. The fairways weren't much better. I lost two golf balls in weeds that could not have been more than six feet from the fairway. The worst part of playing here was the pace of play. I was paired with a couple of guys who were beginners, but nice fellas. As a threesome, it took FOUR hours and FORTY FIVE minutes to play the round. The threesome in front of us was constantly behind, and many times were only a few yards off the tee with their tee shots. So, it made for a difficult day waiting to play every shot. The only good thing was the weather which was beautiful. Won't be playing here again.

First time at this course! Better conditions than most courses in the area! Greens were green, fairways could use a littl help in some areas but overall great course! We will be back!

Improvement

This golf club has really come a long way. This golf club had been closed ( no activity)for many years, The amount of work preformed mostly by volunteers is amazing. This will be one of if not the best public access golf course in the Gainesville area. Way to go Turkey Creek Your work diligence shows
