Turkey Creek Golf Club

It is tough to keep public courses in good shape with our summers… But greens were in great shape (guessing 10.5ish stimp) and mostly true. Fairways and tee boxes were mostly well maintained. Kudos to the maintenance crew. Thought it was a great value.

Greens rolled true. The design is modern, very much target golf one of few courses in my area without houses on the course.

Had an amazing day. Fairways were a little sloppy…but greens were nice and true. For a Sunday late morning pace of play was great and Marshall’s were out and about…but friendly and engaging. I’m canceling tee time next week when family is in town to change over to Turkey Creek.

Mid morning tee time the sprinklers were still on, course was swampy. Heat and standing water made the course feel muggy and gross. It’s in good shape, greens are slow though.

Something is up with this place on twilight rounds. Pace of play is terrible on the back 9. The younger crowd seems to hit mulligan after mulligan and not care that two or three groups are starting to stack up behind them. The Marshall is also nowhere to be seen after 3pm

Course was in excellent condition; the layout provides for a variety of shot making & pace of play was good. However, I find it somewhat questionable that our group left a wedge just off the green on two separate holes and yet none of the groups that followed us claimed to have found either club despite the fact each club was left between the cart path and the green. I called the pro shop the following day and they indicated no clubs were turn in. What a sad reflection on honesty of the golf community in Placer County - in a rather well-to-do community. Spoiled what was a great afternoon of golf.

For the second time in a row that I have played this course there were four groups waiting on 18th tee. Because of a scramble and slow play. That hole is the worst part of every round I play at Turkey Creek.

Great course, well kept. Only complaint was that one of the Marshalls came up to us to let us know we were behind pace. This was before he knew when we had our tee time! There was nobody close to behind us and we were not lagging whatsoever, seemed the man just has a power trip that instead of just saying hello he had to give some sort of unwarranted directive that was completely not correct.

Aside from the sanded greens, fairways are patchy and just not mowed. Rough is long and crab grass. Hate to see a good track not looking very good.

I left in frustration after 11 holes that took almost 3.5 hours to complete. No continuity to play. Hit a ball, then wait 10 minutes to hit again.

The course is normally a very fair test of golf and was in good enough shape.

Got stuck behind two slow foursomes. Took 0ver 5 hours to complete round. Did not see any marshal on course.

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.
