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.

Very muddy right now

I like this course. Always a challenge and greens are normally pretty consistent and roll fast. Very muddy out there which can be expected with weather but there are courses in Sacramento that drain much better. It was pretty tough out there.

Good conditions considering it's late December. The fairways are patchy here and there but no issues with the greens.

Pretty views

Pretty scenery and challenging layout, staff was very friendly and the greens were in nice shape. Course looks like maybe the rain did a number to it, patchy around the greens, dormant fairways, little muddy, especially on the back 9. Finished play in just under 5 hours but it is a holiday week. Would like to try it again in the summer when the grass is growing.

Pace of play

Course is in great condition and great value for money. But I’ve played here several times in the last few weeks on different days of the week. But, each day the same problem rolls around. There has to be a way to open up the course a bit to increase pace of play. Each round I’ve played there has been at least a group in the fairway and another group waiting to tee off while my group is waiting for them. I would much rather pay more for a tee time and not run into that problem.

We Are Definitely Going Back

My son and I played this course. We both found the course challenging but beautiful and quiet. We could actually hear golfers talking on other tee boxes and fairways. There was ample wildlife which seemed to increase in numbers as the afternoon grew long. There were deer, gaggles of geese and flocks of turkeys. The winding cart paths reminded me of the "Small World" ride at D~land; around every turn there seemed to be a new view and perspective. W both are excited to return.

Great Golf Course at Full Price

I always enjoy playing Turkey Creek. In fact, I would play it more often if there were better discounts to play. I usually will book Turkey Creek whenever there are no tee times available at other well maintained courses. The reason is those other courses offer better discounts, while Turkey Creek is usually full price.

It's also a little disheartening when you're paying full weekend rate prices and the ball washers are absent of water.
