A refreshing change for Gainesville

It's nice to finally have a choice of public courses to play in the Gainesville area. Until nrecently, there was only one public course and it's a disaster. Turtle Creek is a challenging, tight layout but isn't punishing. It is in very good condition at this time (December) and seems to be an excellent value for the money. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only complaint was pace of play which was a bit slow but overall I am very happy to have found this course.

Good course. Slow golfers.

Golfers need to be reminded to let faster twosomes play thru foursomes.

Not worth the money

Horrible tee boxes. Many Greens in bad shape. On course workers mow while you are hitting shots. One was cutting weeds out of the green on a part 3 while we were waiting to the off. He looked at us several times and didn't move. Finally we had to yell at him to get off the green. More expensive than Lake City country Club which is in perfect shape and less expensive.

Turkey Creek for the First Time

Staff was tremendous- all were personable and truly enjoyable to work with! They even provided suggestions on how to play the course. We had a great time, but the course needs a bit of TLC. By adding some more money and cleaning up the details, Turkey Creek can make a wonderful comeback. All in all, a good experience!

It’s come a long way!

Since reopening a few years ago, Turkey Creek GC, has constantly improved and has a great group of individuals managing the course.

This is a tough course (for weekend golfers) with tight fairways and greens that have continuously gotten better over the past few years.
