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

Golfer Reviews
Great Value & Atmosphere
This course is an excellent venue to get away for a couple of hours, enjoy a round of golf, and not break the bank. Staff is ALWAYS friendly, responsive, and helpful.
course is very pleasurable to play
I always like playing Turkey Creek. Only complaint I have is you don't have enough water cans placed around the course.
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 Views
Not really fair to rate a coarse when greens were punched 3 days prior
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.
A Very Pleasant Round of Golf
Turkey Creek was a beautiful course, well maintained, user friendly without being wimpy, and reasonably priced,
We found staff and players to be friendly and accommodating. A very pleasant experience-
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.
bad carma from pro shop
at the turn, the starter wanted us to wait and let the group of ladies behind us play through. we said NO WAY, we played 10,11 and went to tee off at 12 before we saw the foursome on the 10th fairway. BAD CALL ON THE PRO SHOP!!!
The course is in better shape than normal.
The greens were smoother than normal and rolled out to my estimation to about an 8 on the stimp meter.
Good times
Turkey Creek is a fun opportunity for new and veteran golfers alike. The management takes advantage of Golf now bookings by keeping there times booked up. This allows US to play an outstanding coarse for a bargain price. Thank you T.Creek and thank you G.now. Because of you I have dropped a couple strokes off my game.
Turkey Creek
Great course, challenging for all levels. A little narrow if you don't hit it straight off the tee. Beautiful surroundings, weather was hot but what you expect in Sacramento in the summer. Staff was very friendly.
