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.

Combination-style golf course

This is quite a different golf course. Golf courses, to me personally, can be categorized into the following: long and wide, tree-lined and wide (could be short or long), or links-style and narrow (could be short or long). Turkey Creek is a combination of all the above: tree-lined, narrow, links-style, long and short. Each hole is a challenge not because of its difficulty but of its layout. It will make you think of your shots. You will do fine if you can keep it in the fairway. A few of the greens were deceiving in which way it would break but the speed was consistent all throughout. The pace of play was awesome. My partner and I finished our round in less than 4 hours. This was great considering it was a Saturday. This was my first time playing this course and my partner has played it twice in the last month. He said I was lucky that day because of the calm winds. Normally, the wind is a factor. I recommend this course for those who can shape their shots.

Pace has been a problem lately

I've played Turkey Creek about a dozen times so far. I had nothing but good things to say about it until the last few rounds, when I began to really notice the serious lack of pace enforcement. The last few times my group has gone out to TC, we've spent over 5 1/2 hours per round, and that's with ordering lunch at the 9th and eating through the turn. I understand it's a public course and that weekend play may be longer than average, but the pace issues weren't due to overpopulation. The problem comes from the marshals inability or refusal to do anything about slow players. A perfect example happened when we arrived at the 14th, and watched as the group ahead of the group in front of ours took over 40 minutes to finish a 110 yard par 3. The group in front of us was even apologizing for the OTHER groups slow play, even though they weren't together, lol. That was the extreme end of how long holes could take, but was far from the only example I could cite. It's hard to keep any rhythm that's built, and starts to put everyone in a bad mood. I'll still play, but most likely only in the early morning or during the week until this pace issue is addressed.

That said, the course itself is really quite spectacular for the money. High level of difficulty if played from the blacks, well manicured and fantastic greens. It's been my favorite course in the area for some time now, hopefully they get on top of the pace issue so others like myself will continue playing there.

A good round at a good course

Turkey Creek is a well maintained course with decent amenities. A friend and I played their on a Tuesday afternoon and got through it in 4.5 hours exactly. The pace of play was a little slow and there were no marshals on duty. I enjoy playing Turkey Creek because of the challenge the maturity of the trees and the manicured greens present.

It's just as nice to look at as it was to play.

This is a great course to play. Lots of trees so you need to keep it in the middle. From tees to greens, it's a lot of fun.

Great track with interesting holes

Turkey Creek is a really cool track - challenging but not impossible with some great design features. A couple of easy holes to start, which is always great. Back side definitely has some challenging moments. Greens in solid shape and not too crowded so pace of play was not bad when I went. For the price listed on golfnow.com this is an EXCELLENT value.

Really enjoyed this course.

I loved this course, it is beatiful. Enjoyed the challenges. It was our first time here. Staff was friendly and helpful. Even when there were a lot of people on the course it doesn't feel like it because the holes are pretty secluded from each other. We will definitely go back. My only suggestion would be that they need more cold water stations.

Fun Course

We were looking for a place to play while in Lincoln visiting relatives and decided to play Turkey Creek based on their recommendation. Turkey Creek was a fun and challenging course to play. In addition to the wild turkey that are abundant at the course we saw deer and heron. We would definitely play Turkey Creek again.

Love this course

Of our group of 5, 4 were playing this course for the first time. They LOVED it! From the pace of the greens to the overall layout of the course, they could not stop talking about how impressed they were with the course. We are already planning our next outing together at Turkey Creek.

Love turkey creek

Turkey creek is a great challenging course.
Lots of trees beautiful scenery. Combined with
A mix of tight fairways that make your shot placement critical
And some wide open fairways that can be deceiving if you
Don't know the hazards. Good greens med fast to fast. Well maintained if any thing a little over watered in some spots.
