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.

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.

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.

This course has great features.

A bit challenging. This course features various hazards such as large boulders, elevation changes, and water hazards. Over all it is a fun course to play. I recommend this course to play.

Hot Day but great golf

I tee'd off at approximately 12:15 on a day where the temp was near 100 at starting time. Course was in great shape and greens putted very true. For playing in the heat of the day there was plenty of shade to hide in. Always a great place to play.

Great Round

I definitely recommend this course. We played for $15 at 4:45 during the summer and got 16 holes in. Definitely could have finished the round if we were not held up by a slow 4-some somewhere ahead of us. Didn't clog up until the last 6 or 7 holes.

But, this makes sense because the course is a bit challenging. Tight fairways make for lost time looking for balls but not in a bad way. Also, the greens were in good shape and had good shape to them.

Overall, great round and highly recommended.

Thinking Course - you cannot fall asleep with your game.

The people at Turkey Creek made my experience exceptional. Friendly and very anxious to assist in loading you clubs on a cart to pointing out needed facilities. The course was in great shape considering our CA drought. It was a wonderful day.

Verdant sylvan gem in Lincoln

Turkey Creek is a friendly, yet challenging course. There are open bowls that appear easy, then shots over the water and hidden flags that kept us guessing. It is a rolling green carpet of well-kept fairways and very fast greens. This is a course I look forward to playing over and over again!

This course has a good layout.

I had only played the course a couple of times and not played it in a few years. The course can be very challenging especially if you are not keeping the ball in play. The course is in really great shape from tee to green and each hole is very scenic. My partner had not played it in a few years also. What has kept him away in the past was pace of play because it can get backed up due to the difficulty of some of the holes. We did not have that issue as we played in the hot afternoon and were a twosome. When we caught up to a couple of foursomes along the way they let us play through them. We will definitely come back and play again very soon as we had a great experience.

The Creek is AWSOME!

Made reservation day of round and looked forward to quick 18 on 4 p.m. twilight rate. As usual there was no disappointment. Arrived a few minutes early and staff was very helpful to get me set with cart and advice on current pace of play throughout course. Great round(except for score) and will be back many times this summer with all the huge oaks providing that natural A/C. Nice job on green conditions Turkey Creek.
