Rating Snapshot
About
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.

18th tee box, with a few elevation changes and water on the left. If you feel confident, slug it off to the left and clear the water, putting you in a great position for a second shot to the green Photo submitted by copz1998 on 07/20/2018

Slow Going
Got stuck behind two slow foursomes. Took 0ver 5 hours to complete round. Did not see any marshal on course.
Great and Average
Overall, I’m a big, big fan of this track. Period it’s a great design and absolutely one of the more interesting courses in the greater Sacramento area. On the other side of the balance sheet, as usual the greens are rolling way too slow.
Nice round
EARLY morning tee time resulted a sub 4 hour round. Course was in good shape, tees and green surrounds were just aerated. The greens were good though. I will be back.
Beautiful course
I’m always impressed by the landscape… incredible rock formations, turkeys of course, and variety .. i think it’s got to be one of the most beautiful layouts in the valley. !!
Not a good place for a novice
Though track to play for the first time. Will definitely need to play a few times to attack it. Beautiful tho. Range is great, with grass.
Pace of Play was sub par
Tee time was at 4:00pm on a Friday afternoon. Seems like the high school kids or younger players are getting out to the course and not keeping the pace. We turned around at hole # 13 3.5hours into the round. There was a foursome and a two some stacked at the tee box when we decided to turn around. The foursome was hitting multiple tee shots per person.
Hole to hole
Course needs more directional signs going to each hole. Very easy to take the wrong turn and end up on an incorrect hole resulting in slow play if you are not familiar with the course layout. Directional signs needed to go to the first tee and the 10th tee especially. Would result in faster play without delays.
Course in disrepair
Even for winter golf this is the worst I have played this course. Bare spots everywhere. Bunkers are thin or flat ground under repair.
Bunkers
Another course that has given up on maintaining their bunkers since covid and yet they still charge full price!
Winter Golf Conditions
Tee boxes were rough, fairways are dead but not unexpected - it's that time of year. Most lies were fine. Greens were in good condition.
Course is currently in winter hibernation
The greens are fine but the fairways are super patchy with large brown areas, some dead areas and a lot of areas that give a very thin lie. This can be expected at some courses in January but I don't plan to play there again until spring brings the fairways back to life.
