Turkey Creek Golf Club
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

Really fun layout!
I was shocked by this course. Up in Lincoln for a golfing weekend. We played both Lincoln Hills courses, Darkhorse and Turkey Creek. I thought Turkey Creek was going to be a local metro course and something flat and easy.
I was mistaken! Course layout was fantastic. Huge Boulders all over the course make it challenging on certain holes but also provide some awesome scenery.
The course was in excellent condition although the course has recently punched their greens. Green definitely had holes in them from being punched including sand. I will NEVER fault a course for punching their greens. It's just bad timing to play a course after they have punched because they are basically impossible to putt consistently on. I totally understand this is the perfect time to punch the greens!
Staff was extremely friendly and considering we tee'd off at 3 PM on a Saturday afternoon, we had no problems finishing this beautiful course.
Excellent job hosting us for the day Turkey Creek, we will definitely be back!!
Not notified of Greens being punched prior to arrival
Course is very good layout. It’s a good value for your money. Usually has very good green speed. I realize to present a quality product the greens must be punched a couple tomes a year, however, other courses mentioned the green treatment giving you the decision to play or pass. I spefically chose Turkey Creek to prepare for a tournament with fast greens . That wasn’t possible.
Winter conditions
I really enjoy Turkey Crk for its layout and shot making challenges, unfortunately right now the course is in dire condition.
The fairways are beyond in " dormant condition" I would call them bare and dead.
This is winter so maybe some time should be spent to condition the greens.
Maybe now would be a good time to level out the tee boxes( played the blues and there were seriously not one level box) now maybe that is the direction the course superintendent is going, if so he's got it nailed.
We played with a Golf Now discounted rate but their rack rates are in the mid $60 range,and I personally expect better conditions..
Turkey Creek is a wonderful layout but it is definitely in need of some love!
Shouldn't be open!
This was a frustrating experience. The weather was great for February but the course was a mess. Really bad shape. If they're going to stay open during the winter then do more than just take in green fees. I've played this course before and it was fine. Won't go back.
It's alright
You can usually get 18 here for a pretty good price but it would be cool if they took a little better care of the fairways.
Perfect greens
Course in in great shape great pace of play and greens are especially awesome since they have firmed them up and started mowing then a little shorter.. putts aren't so influenced by grain.
One of My Favorites
Turkey Creek is an awesome course to play for the money, there is always a great deal on this course, fairways are pretty good, greens role great, there are some challenging holes and some fairly easy holes, i really love all the par 3's, hole 3 and 18 are my favorites. If you are looking for a really fun round of golf, take the drive to Turkey Creek.
Great Day
The course was in pretty good condition considering we played it in February. The greens could be better--too hard, didn't hold with chips and close pitches, and difficult to read. Otherwise, we had a great time
Did not advertise shotgun start. Round took 6 hours
Paid online for a round. The tee time neglected to specify it was a shotgun start. And they loaded up all 18 holes. Won’t be coming back.
Great winter golf location,
This course is always a great place to golf, especially during winter months. It has very well maintained greens, fairways and tee boxes. Course plays fair, there are some challenges but you can play safe and still end with a great score.
Nice challenging course
The course was in good shape even in the middle of winter and was challenging for our foursome.
Always a great natural setting
The course was set up well. The fairways did not have enough grass. I realize the grass dies in the winter but it should at least leave some foliage to prevent hitting from bare spots so many times. Green were rolling very well and the traps were groomed.
Tough track but fun
This was a challenge for me and my golf buddy .
1st time playing here which makes it even tougher. You need to know where to land the ball on most holes. Greens in great shape and fast baby....had a few to many 3 jacks. We look forward to coming back and trying again. I am a 7 and shot a 85. Could probably shave a few off that just with some course knowledge. If you’re a first timer to the course I would recommend playing with a turkey creek veteran. The layout is very fun and takes imagination
