Turkey Creek Golf Club in Lincoln sprawls across rolling hills that are covered with mature oak forests. The back nine even closely resembles Germany's Black Forest. The centerpiece of the course is the old granite quarry that was transformed into an expansive lake that comes into play on the third and final holes. The golf course is formidable, testing golfers with blind shots and uneven lies, but the challenges are nicely balanced by long, open fairways. Water comes into play several times throughout as well as the towering trees that blanket the landscape. The course will keep golfers on their toes but there is plenty of visual respite available. Players can often catch a glimpse of the abundant wildlife that call Turkey Creek Golf Club home, including deer, quail, foxes, and of course, wild turkeys.

Grass is growing nicely off the fairway

Middle of the fairway was a bumpy dry mess. Didn’t we get record amounts of rain this year? Was surprised for the poor conditions so early in the season.

Challenging Hillside Gem

This beautiful, hillside gem of a coarse winds its way through the Sierra Nevada foothills, amongst gorgeous old growth oak trees, and huge granite outcroppings. The course has many blind shots, which make it challenging for the first time player. However, the Course is very fair and demands shot planning instead of step up and wack it. The tee boxes were in average to above average condition, the fairways were very good considering the amount of winter torment these courses suffered, and the greens were in excellent shape, rolling true and medium to medium fast.

Some of the par threes are particularly challenging and fun, and there’s enough water to make the course interesting for those who appreciate crafty use of water on golf holes. One other bonus of the course is that there are no homes on the course at all, so you have the feeling of being in a secluded oak and granite forest. The pro shops and restaurant folks were very friendly, and the overall experience was one of the better ones I’ve had in a while. We will definitely be back.

Tough but forgiving, fun

Turkey is a fun local course that has its moments of mild frustration when you get to aggressive and get in the trees. The course is usually in great shape but with all the rain recently in Northern CA, there were some areas that were less than pleasant to be in.

Lots of oak trees to hit into (if you’re into that sort of thing) but no houses... yet.

Great course.

Nice Course

This was my 1st time playing Turkey Creek, and I will definitely come back. The course is not long at all but has a very interesting layout that requires some accuracy. The greens are in great shape, a bit fast but very true.

Greens were rolling!

The course was in decent shape given the time of year. Greens were rolling good but speed was a little inconsistent which made it tricky. Challenging course given it isn’t very long. Definitely worth playing every 2-3 months.

Nice Interesting Course

This was my first time playing Turkey Creek. All in all, I was impressed with the layout of the course, as well as the condition of the course. The greens are a little fast but very true. The fairways and bunkers are also well cared for. It is not a long course, but it is a very interesting course for shot makers.

Remarkable Recovery

Turkey Creek is my favorite course for a woman. With the horrific floods and rain, I expected the course to be in rough shape. Despite the loss of over 50 trees and an incredible amount of rain over 3 weeks, the course was in good condition. Kudos to the maintenance crew and administrators for a great job! Thank you.
