Terrible course

The course is just abysmal you can see it at the practice area which half the green is just dead spots with no grass plus it is like putting on fairway when there is grass. Speaking of the fairways they are really dry with also a lot of dead spots. Overall if you are in Gainesville find somewhere else to play.

Nice but room to improve

Course is long, but the winding through a neighborhood is a real wonky layout. It’s made worse by how hostile the neighborhood feels towards golfers. A ball might go in your yard, you chose to live on a golf course. Clubhouse is bare bones and no beverage cart around. They’re going to have to knock the price down a bit if the greens aren’t in better shape soon. On a positive note, the practice facilities are very good with a full range and chipping/putting area.

This Course has Become a Joke

I used to play here 2 or 3 times a week. I quit playing for months because the conditions were so poor. Well, i decided to give it another try hoping that they did work on the course. I paid $59 for greens that were a joke. Missing grass, temporary greens, horrible fairways. All you need to do is go to the course and check out the practice green. Like putting in a cow pasture with missing grass, etc. They are putting in new concrete cart paths and put electronic scoring in the carts. Put your money into the actual course. I'd done with this dog track. Don't waster your time or money. Neither are worth it.

Turkey Creek

Beautiful area and layout of course. Course/club is definitely going through some major renovations which will improve it drastically. Again gorgeous homes and area but the greens needs some much needed TLC; tee boxes could use some love too, maybe that’s part of the renovations but other that will be back next time we’re in the area. Overall nice course!!

Perfect weather
Used cart

This course needs some work from the Tee boxes, fairways, and the greens are in real bad shape. every single green was not acceptable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was way too high for the course conditions, should of been 20.00 , not 40+.

Doubt I'll ever play there again.

A perfect 9-hole course

A great 9-hole course in excellent condition at a very affordable price. While the course is a bit short, it’s perfect for a relaxed and casual round of golf.

Good Layout, Hard Fairway

Sandy greens, hard fairway with the current dry spell. Traps well manicured. Layout challenging . Better signs needed for certain holes crossing roads.

Good layout and open on Easter!

Overall, we enjoyed the layout and the staff was friendly. The course was in rough shape but after reading through all the reviews of public courses in the area, it seems to be the norm.

Turkey Creek

Overall, my friends and I had an enjoyable round here. The range was solid with range balls that were in good condition and not worn out. The course itself was good with an appropriate pace of play and time times were also spaced appropriately. Some of the greens still need some work but I believe these are being addressed. I would certainly recommend this course to a fellow golfer.

Future repeat customer

The starter had me go off 10. I only played 9 holes and it was so enjoyable. Nobody pushing me from behind and I didn’t run into anyone in front of me. Felt like the course was all mine!
