Challenging

I am happy this course is available to the public. I play here a couple times per month and always enjoy my round. The greens are very nice presently. Some fairways are narrow which is a challenge for me as I spray the ball off the tee. The on site restaurant is very convenient with good food. Overall a nice course and pleasant experience. I recommend!

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.

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.
