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.

Switchero

So, a month or so ago the only thing good about the conditions here were the greens. Now, they are HORRIBLE. Forget practice putting. No two green were the same except for missing grass and dirt. Some were so fast because they had no grass, others needed to cut even though they had dirt and sand spots everywhere. This course is becoming a joke! Higher prices than others and not half as good.

They need to fix tee boxes and fairways

Not worth the money for a course that's in such poor shape. Go to Ironwoord, Lake City, Ocala. Anywhere but here. Definitely not worth the money.

Needs an Update

Tee boxes, fairways, and some greens are bad. Trees are overgrown in areas and tree roots are everywhere. Mostly because there is no grass on the rock hard fairways. Definitely not worth what they charge.

How can you have a tournament here?

Bad tee boxes, bad fairways, bad traps, greens ok. Not in the shape you'd expect for a tournament.

Horrible fairways

No grass on half the fairways. Definitely not worth the cost. Tee boxes were like the Flintstones. No sand in sand traps. Overall it's a dog track but more expensive than other options.

Fairways Need Help

Love this course layout and 19th hole bar/grill!

The fairways are in horrible shape and tees are sandpits.

Driving range is really nice.

Fix the Fairways!

The recently raised their rates. I have no idea why because the course was in much better shape in the past. The fairways are mostly dirt or bad grass. Many of the tee boxes are like pastures. The greens are pretty good. We used to play here three times a week and now it might be once because you can drive a little further and find much nicer courses for less money. Fix the Fairways!
