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.

Challenging and well maintained

A lot of water in play, as the name implies, and long tree lined fairways but the cherry on top is the greens. They are challenging but excellently maintained!

Great course

A beautiful day on a golf course that was in excellent condition. The greens rolled fast and true and were very consistent throughout the 18 holes. The greens held the ball and only rolled out low no spin shots. The fairways were sound and the rough was penalizing. The course is challenging for a good golfer but very playable for The average golfer. Our foursome ranged from a low of 78 to a high of 116 but we all had a good time and said we will come back for another round.

Turkey Creek is a Fantastic Golf Course & Experience

I've been playing Turkey Creek for only 2 years and I can say that the course has never been in better condition than now. The front 9 and back nine are seemingly very different courses which adds to the fun.

I highly recommend this course the next time you want to play a round.

Great Day

Hadn't played this course in a couple of years, but introduced a friend to the course. This course was chosen partially because we expected high temperature and some wind, and the trees and layout provide better protection from both than most other courses in the area.

Other than being hampered by slow play the last 4 holes, we had a great day on the course.

Annoying Marshall

Course was in decent shape. Greens were on the slower side. I would say solid otherwise. As for the marshall…we were waiting for the group in front of us on a few holes, but the marshall proceeds to tell my group we are a half hole behind. I’m not sure how this is possible when we are the ones waiting. As we proceed to the next hole after the marshall tells us we are behind, we have to wait on the tee box for the group in front of us again, but yet we are the ones somehow holding things up. I state this only because I have 1 day a week to relax and enjoy some peace, but the marshall decided not use common sense this fine morning, and tell the group in front of us to hurry the F up. Hopefully you get lucky and don’t have to deal with Captain Notsobovious. Cheers!

Course Great - Tee Off directions HORRIBLE

The course was great, especially for the price. Good condition, beautiful scenery with lots of shade. However, This is the second time I’ve used the ‘Map It’ directions off the Tee Off confirmation for a Lincoln area course and it takes me way north out in the country round in circles. It even had me thorn left into a field with no road. End destination was the western placer unified school district which I never made it to. Just beware!! Don’t ‘Map it’ from the teeo off confirmation. Coordinates are way off!
