Rating 73.2

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.

Fun, Challenging Course with Great Staff

We've played Turkey Creek many times and never grow tired of it, unlike some of our local courses. Its varied terrain and hole layout, natural setting (deer and wild turkeys are commonly sighted), and good course maintenance make for a great on-course experience. Off course, the pro shop and bar/restaurant staff are welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended.

Gotta play this course

I like this course for a variety of reasons. It is a difficult course and requires a bit of thought to be successful. The main reason, however, is memorable holes. There is just a lot of them that you will remember - #2 par 4, #3 par 3, #4 par 5, #10 par 4, #14 par 3 and #18 par 4. There are absolutely zero houses around so you feel like you are in the woods

Turkey Creek Again and Again

Played again after recent storms, course held up. Course was as packed as I have ever seen it. There are a few more water hazards now on holes one and two, lake goes to edge of green on three, and then the fun begins on holes four, five, six...hole nine is a good one too. Need to be extra long on tee to have any chance at reasonable approach on all. Then, onto a solid back nine, and a unique number 18. What a great course, can't say enough. Would play here and only here if I lived closer. Great track.

Sunday, Funday

Hopped on GolfNow.com and found the discounted tee time for one of my preferred courses in the area. Conditions were cool/cold, but the course was in good shape despite the recent heavy rains. There was limited casual water. The mats at the driving range were very worn, BTW.

Course ok; pace of play terrible!

Course was in decent condition for time of year (december), fairways good, greens bumpy. Front 9 played in 2:20 (a bit slow, had to wait on every shot). 10th Tee was backed up with a 5-some in the fairway waiting on group ahead, a 2-some waiting on the Tee, the 3-some we were behind waiting...then us (4-some). We asked for and received a "rain check" for the nine holes remaining on our round since the entire back nine was a disaster according to the pro shop and they had no marshal....that shouldn't happen!

Tremendous Turkey Creek

Very Nice. Some Big Boy holes on this golf course from the back tees, and nice greens. Could play here everyday and no where else, its one of those tracks. Yes, its that good. Par 3 are all reasonable with 3 of them over water and one that reminded me of Spyglass Hill. Par 5 are long and enough trouble while being fairly wide open. Number 4 is one of the best par 5 you will ever play. Back pin especially difficult. Par 4 are all different and back to back numbers 5 and 6 are tough as can be. Need perfect drive to have any chance. 280 to 300 yard drives on those holes down the middle could be in the trees left or right of target. Lots of good golf in this area and Turkey Creek holds its own.

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.
