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.

Great challenging course
Narrow fairways and fast greens make for a challenging but fun course.

course layout winds through an old subdivision. Out of bounds areas are fair. Water comes into plat on only a few holes.
The fairways are in good condition. The greens were extremely slow, hard to get the ball to roll true and to the hole. No roll out. The greens were very receptive to second shots. This course was close for several years and is on the come back. Once the greens are brought back into shape, I will be going back again. Love the layout and scenery throughout the course.
