The course was horrible for the price

This is one of the worst course in Florida, the greens were the worst greens in the hist of golf. The entire green on each hole was like putting on mud/ no grass except in small patches on the greens and if you wasn’t careful you would slip on the greens. I will never play this course again. Played with my wife and two others from Gainesville/ the whole crew was very disappointed.

Turkey Creek

Beautiful course but the pace of play was atrocious. We had a 1:00 tee time and at 1:04 people are hitting into us. Then we are waiting 5 to 10 minutes to tee off because people in front of us are playing so slow and playing with little kids. Which I don’t mind I have a son myself but Saturday late afternoon is when I would take him hitting all over the place. Then golfers cut in front of us on the back slowing up the pace even more. Also, the ranger came by 3 to 4 times with no pace of play change or speed up by the golfers was just disappointed haven’t played here in years and I was excited to get out there again. I don’t know if I will be returning.

10th hole is deceiving

Very tight layout. Lots of homes around the course. Greens were mostly good. For Florida at this time of year.

10th hole layout is deceiving. Three of us drive our balls in the pond off the tee due to not seeing the direction of the fairway

Never play here

The worst golf course I’ve ever played by far. Not worth $5 and I paid $50. Stay away if you don't want to waste your time.

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.
