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

Challenging but rewarding
Very tough course if you haven't ever seen the layout or played, but the course was in great shape and the staff was friendly! Would recommend
Greens
Had a great day at Turkey Creek, however it would have been appreciated if Golf Now would inform customers when greens have just been plugged! This has happened twice now, and definitely would not drive over an hour for it! Golf now should do better.
Nice Travk
Nice course as long as you don't mind trees. Very scenic. Awesome Rock formations.
Great value
Had an amazing time and round of golf, I highly recommend it if you haven't played there.
Good course expensive price
The course is very challenging and fun. They have the price way to high compared to other courses in the area. I will only play this one again with a special deal.
Great place for golf.
I had a great deal with buy one game of golf and get the next game free.
Nice open coarse
Coarse was laid out well, open yet necessary to keep in fairways. Will definitely return. A little on the pricey side, but nice coarse. Spacing of tee times were great, only got backed up the last 4 holes.
Perfect Day
An absolutely perfect day. The course was in great shape. What I like best about this course is of all the public courses in South Placer County this is the only one where there are no houses around it. It is always well maintained and the staff is very friendly.
Gimmicks galore
If your a fan of gimmick golf holes you will enjoy this course... I'm personally not a fan of holes that you get penalized for hitting good shots! Also would be nice if they would tell you the greens were punched when making a tee time! Otherwise it was beautiful! Had fun and the pace of play was very good!
This course has interesting features
It was most helpful that it is visible from the main road, and that there were signs so one doesn't have to get lost!!! This is our third or fourth time in the last two yeaars and we have enjoyed the course each time. There were challenging features but it made the course more interesting and the weather helped a lot.
The trees made the temperature manageable.
greens need some luv
Overall, the course was in decent shape and greens were receptive to shots. The greens were very inconsistent with all of the winter weed grasses on some of the greens.
nice course with good variety of holes
we drove from reno to play this course and it never disappoints.will come back later in the season to tee it up again.
Turkey Creek
Played it several times. Course was in good shape. Didn't eat there but the burgers looked great.
Fairways dry and fast
Fairways dry and fast and the greens were not very soft, in fact they were rather hard and approach shots did not always hold. Putting was true, however
Love your course!
This is my favorite course in this area. The staff is very friendly and professional. I can't say enough great things about the staff. This course is a good fit for me also.
Nice course, the greens are faster than other golf courses in the area.
The course design is one of the best, challenging "Dog legs". The greens' surface are a little hard. Fairways are in good conditions.
BMW
Have played this course many times, it is one of my top two courses in the Sacramento area, about a 40 mins from downtown Sacramento. Course is very well maintained, staff and staff services are tops. Front nine is municipal like with open fairways, and limited obstacles. The back nine is "beautiful" if you enjoy playing in a California oak forest with interesting granite outcroppings . It is more challenging, requiring you to select your shots and approaches to the greens.
Great course
Well maintained, great price and beautiful scenery. A few challenging holes with some crazy doglegs, and a very hard 18th but it makes up for it with several hole with long wide fairways. Definitely recommend.
Good course!
I played this course twice in the last week with my dad as I am on break from college. The layout makes for fun and strategic golf. I was very satisfied with the overall quality of the course. The greens are true. The 18th is a very excitin ending. I was shooting for the low 80s yesterday and ended 18 with a snowman for 88. I recommend this course to everybody and will play here again.
Great course yet slow
Fun course. On the short side but still very challenging. Slow, pushing five hour round.
