Turkey Creek Golf Course

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

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.

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.

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!

Not complete, but it has loads of potential. Great course to practice on!

This is a tight course with trees and homes surrounding every fairway. It is a challenging course to say the least.

Told the golf courses in area took hit from hurricane and other storms. Despite being frustrated with the conditions, the locals say it’s the best public course in the area. The others are worse. Can’t wait for spring conditions in Wisconsin and our great GRASS !

I really enjoy this golf course. Great staff, great layout, lots of fun. I continue to return. Have to love the GPS golf carts.

Way overpriced for the shape the course was in. 4 greens were dirt and unplayable. Bunkers were gray dirt and mud. 15 of 18 fairways were bare hard dirt lies. Once on greens just pick up your ball and move on. Not worth the trouble. Pictures on website not true representation of the course.

I will start with the positive points.

1. Nice staff

2. Ok carts

Do NOT play this course. It is embarrassing to have to play out of dirt from the middle of the fairway. Most greens are either half dirt and half a mix of thick grass. Some greens are completely dirt......yes dirt only.

The folks at Turkey Creek should be applauded for bringing their course back and making great improvements. Volunteers have now handed off day to day operations to a private management company that impresses me so far. The course needs lots more done if it is to be a five star facility. That being said, it is the only, fully public course in Alachua County, Fl that gets an A for effort. The Gainesville area, for some reason, does not have an outstanding course that is open to the public, in contrast to many of our fellow Florida communities. South and Southwest Florida, and many communities in Central Florida, including The Villages have excellent facilities. As an academic, sports and arts jewel in Florida, Gainesville falls short in what it has to offer golfers.
