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.

"Enjoyable afternoon @ Turkey Creek"

Many thanks to Scott. Best customer service to start a day of golf. Courteous and informative. He grouped me up with some great and hilarious fellas. It just makes the round enjoyable and relaxing. The course was in great shape (irregardless w/ the drought). A little slow play up front, but Marshals were on it. Some holes are challenging, leading to right club selection. Really a nice designed layout, especially to finish on 18th with the sunset. Pretty spectacular. Bunkers were well equip w/ sand, nice! Greens firm, nice too! Tee box needs just a little work.

Seeding

They seeded the tee boxes, greens and fringe areas. It looks like its the end of the season.

The course is still Top 5 in Sacramento/Auburn/Roseville.

Hit the Fairway

Great course, but don't be the one looking for your ball in the forest or in quarry. Make sure you play the fairway as a wayward shot could end up anywhere

Friday Fun Day

My buddy and I had a great Friday outing Labor day weekend. He drove up from Modesto and said it was worth the drive for the price. The staff is very friendly, and we loved how they meet you in the parking lot with a cart and load your bag. Would definitely recommend this course.

Great looking Course

Fairways were in good shape, rough was a little high but it made you want to not hit there.
Greens were a little hard to read, but in pretty good condition.

Great value, great golf course

I love this course. Very well maintained even in the current drought, and you can't beat the price. Best value around. The course is challenging but not punitive and the greens are kept at a reasonable speed. Generally the pace of play is very good however this round I got stuck behind a 4 some of what appeared to be beginners that slowed down the who works. None the less great place to play.

Great Course

Have played here before and generally I never play the course very well but this time most parts of my game were working and I shot my best score ever here; an 85. The course is in great shape and fortunately the weather was cooperative as it has been very hot here lately (over 100) but this day it was only 85. This is a very challenging course and I would not recommend it for beginners who are just starting to play and learn the game. There is a great practice area for chipping and bunker play on the far side of the driving range that you would miss if you did not know it was there. I always enjoyed playing this course even though it typically beats me down pretty good. Played with a twosome of young guys who were playing it for the first time and they were very impressed by the layout, conditions, maintenance and difficulty of the track. Love this place.

Turkish Crick

This course is a personal favorite of mine. It always provides a great challenge with multiple elevation changes, plenty of hazards, and multiple tee locations. The staff is nice and personable. I especially enjoy the fact that the entire course is free of houses, no annoying neighbors to deal with. It is truly a country club experience when the tee times are spaced properly.
I play this course at least 2X/ week and may even join with a membership!

Turkey's Everywhere

The Question is did they name the course because of the turkeys, or did the turkeys come later. In any case I easily counted more than 60 of them during the round. And no geese, and their stuff. The course is very well maintained, the greens were in great shape, and considering the drought they've done a super job on the fairway's and tees. Some of the best maintained and most consistent sand traps anywhere. This is a fun course with lots of variability. GPS/Scorecard on the carts, well stocked refreshment cart with a very pleasant young lady and the staff is great, and I mean all of them. The last time I played the course, in early June, there was lots of very long weeds and grass between and off the fairways, so easy to loose balls. Now that grass, very dry and been trimmed to ground level, so about the only place to loose a ball is in the water and there are several opportunities for that. It is so nice to have a beautiful driving range with lots of REAL grass to hit from, clean balls and well equipped. I just love this course and the price is right.
