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.

Slow going at Turkey Creek

Tuesday afternoon and its totally backed up on the back nine. A 4.5 hour round of golf is a fantasy at Turkey Creek and there is no one on the course making sure that groups keep pace. Course needs WATER BADLY. Looks like they are under water restrictions or have broken irrigation systems.

Its bermuda grass and it goes dormant. What a great course , and does not need negative reviews based on no knowledge of course topography or turf grasses used.

First Time Playing

Beautiful weather and quite a scenic course.

Weather was perfect and course layout was perfect. Turkeys, geese, deer and a cayote mage the game very interesting and fun. Condition of the greens was not perfect with some unrepaired dibots and duck refuse but still enjoyed. A good golf course where some business events can be staged. Food and beverage services were barely passable.

Plan to return here with some friends before the end of the season. Thanks to GolfNow for getting this kind of premier courses.

Challenging course

One of the more challenging courses in Sacramento. On your first attempt here, don't even expect a good score !

Mean doglegs, hidden greens, some narrow fairways, etc. .. this is a course that you will want revenge on after you finish.

Best course around

I play Turkey Creek usually once a week or at least every other week. Great afternoon and early morning rates. Very difficult but relaxed course which I've found hard to find in California.

Nice track

Turkey creek is a fun course because you'll use most of the club's in your bag. It is deceiving. It looks wide open but it has corners and trees and water that will bite you. You have to hit your mark or you will find added strokes.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

NICE round even though I played horribly

This was my first time playing Turkey Creek. I was frustrated with my first few holes because I didn't understand where the landing areas were and I hit the ball too far through the fairway on number three and four. I should have paid more attention to the on cart GPS which was very nice to have. Greens were rolling very nice, even though I putted poorly. My overall score was the worst of the summer, however the person I played with shot his best brand of the summer so I have to put the blame on my poor iron play. We got stuck behind some rather slow players but after a "friendly" reminder they picked up the pace of play. Carts were very nice , And there was water to drink every few holes. Overall a very nice experience I will be back. Great price through golf now.com
