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.

Nice Course
My husband and I really enjoyed playing at Turkey Creek. The course is challenging, but not too difficult. We had a very nice time, and will definitely play it again.
Great course!
Played the course for the first time; outstanding course! Well maintained, excellent staff and starter was very respectable and helpful. Great course if your a long hitter. Greens were outstanding.
Fantastic golf course
I played this course today for the first time. I read about this place on the internet, and read the course ratings and course slope.
For a 25 handicapper like myself, this course was challenging to me because I couldn't hit the ball straight.
This is a GORGEOUS and well maintained golf course.
It has tons of trees, lots of water, lots of bunkers, all of which make for a fun game.
I probably hit every tree and rock on this course today, but it was fun.I Also put 3 balls in the lake on the 18th hole. Two in the first lake and 1 in the second lake.
I can't wait to come back and try again.
Turkey Creek Golf Course
This is a tricky golf course, but a lot of fun. Back nine is a lot more challenging. The course was in great shape. We got a great deal thru Golf Now. Pace of play was normal. We did not have to wait much at all. We play this tract regularly.
Primevil setting with lots of wildlife.
Great North CA course. fun to play, nice carts and good GPS. The TC Cheeseburger was just OK. Free drink fill-up.Diabolical greens keeper. I liked the driving range too.
Could be better
A marshal on the course would be great. Played holes 10-12 in 1 hour. A marshal on the course to keep the pace of play going would have made this round more enjoyable
Turkey creek is no turkey.
Set in the sierra foothills, this course is beautiful. Granit bolders, majestic oaks, and well maintained fairways and greens. There are a few holes that course knowledge would or could make a substantial difference in your score. You need to pay attention to pin placement and not necessarily shot for the. (I know, no risk no reward.)
PS. Turkey creek has lots of turkeys on it. This is kinda cool.
Great Course
Turkey Creek is very fun and Challenging wonderful place to play
SLOW SLOW SLOW
Worst round of golf ever at Turkey Creek. 6hours unacceptable at any price. Had to complain about the people 2 groups in front of us 3 times before someone finally did something. When the slow group as asked if they could speed up a little they drove 2 miles and hour from then on. These people should have been removed from the course and band from ever playing there again. We love the course but probable won't ever return because of this. Kristi the cart Lady was wonderful and took good care of all the thirsty Golfers. 97 out
Punched greens beware
I hate it when I book a tee time on the phone, and they don't tell me the greens are punched. Other than that, nothing to complain about. The course is tough as ever, in great shape, and not overcrowded. Very friendly staff, and on the 19th hole got free fries with our pitcher of Fat Tire. I will say, they gave us a coupon for a free round due to the punched greens, so I appreciate that. Beware that after the third hole, you have to go through the parking lot to find the 4th, no sign. Lots of tree trouble here is you are not in the middle of the fairway. On at least 6 holes, I had to go over trees to reach the green, even though I was in the fairway.
Thank you for your review! We are glad that you enjoyed your experience at Turkey Creek. We apologize that you were not notified of the greens. We will address this issue. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round!
Great course
Awesome layout, aerated greens made for a bad short game.
Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your round with us. We apologize that that aerated greens messed with your short game. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round!
afternoon With the turkeys
Course was in great shape. Would of liked to know when I booked the round that the greens were punched and sanded as well as some of the traps were being rebuilt. Love this course. Pace was right at 3 hours for 18 holes.
Thank you for your review! We are glad that you enjoyed your experience with us. We apologize that you were not notified about the greens. We will address this issue. We hope to see you back soon for your next round at Turkey Creek!
Gps on carts
The gps on the cart saved at least one stroke per hole. Shot a 83 best round ever I will definitely play Turkey creek again
Thank you for your review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your experience at Turkey Creek! We look forward to seeing you back soon for your next round!
Loved it
Love it , except for slow play.
Thanks for your review! We are thrilled you loved our course and apologize for the place of play. We look forward to having you back at Turkey Creek!
Pace of Play a little slow
The course is in good to great shape. Staff are excellent. Finished 30 minutes behind pace of play. No beverage cart but water available on various holes. Excellent value but that may be the reason for so many slow players.
Thank you for your review! We are pleased you enjoyed our course and apologize for the pace of play. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round!
Great course
This is the kind of golf course that provides the best value and best layout possibly that I've ever played. The greens were rolling nice and fast and everything was looking nice and green.
We had 2 foursomes in front of us but the pace of play was just fine and we were happy and the people behind us were happy. We stopped by the snack bar three times and it didn't slow anyone down. We spent a lot of money in the snack bar but we were happy to do so because it was really good food and drinks.
In the end, I can't say enough good things about this place. Hope it stays in business and is making a profit.
Thanks for your review! We are ecstatic that you enjoyed your experience at Turkey Creek. We look forward to having you back for your next round at Turkey Creek!
NorCal Master
Great course for the money. Narrow fairways that are mowed tight and 3 tier greens. If you can hit your spots on the greens you can usei it to your advantage. It's worth the drive and the money.
Thanks for the review! We are glad you enjoyed your round with us. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round!
A good challenge
Course is full of challenges. Quite a few holes with water that could be challenging for those that are not seasoned golfers. But, overall it is a fun course to play.
Thanks for the review! We're glad you had fun playing our course. We look forward to having you back at Turkey Creek for your next round!
Pace of Play
The front 9 the pace was very good --no waiting at all. The back 9 we waitied on every hole after number 10. Very slow. We were a twosome and the two groups in front of us were also twosomes---the play should have been faster and smoother. This seems typical at this course unless you go out at 7AM. Conditions of the course and greens were very good though!!
Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed our course and apologize for the pace of play. We hope to see you back soon for your next round at Turkey Creek!
Really neat natural setting
Interesting and fun layout, lots of trees, natural vegetation, wildlife & water features. I enjoy visiting and playing this course.
Thank you for your review! We apologize for the pace of play and that you did not fully enjoy your round with us. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to address these issues. We hope you will give us another try soon at Turkey Creek!
