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.

Slow greens and ridiculously expensive food/drink.

I’ve played quite a bit of golf at Turkey, and it’s definitely one of my favorite tracks in the greater Sacramento area. Great layout, challenging. It’s walkable for sure, but an above average haul. Yesterday, the greens looked gorgeous but were rolling way too slow. The real issue is the unapologetic ripoff for food and drink. I’m accurately aware of inflation, cost of help and food and drink pricing, I live in that industry and know the 411. But, $42 for a tuna sandwich, beer and shot. Including involuntary $4 service charge with a tip line still left blank. That’s just plain stupid.

Hi,

We're sorry for that, and we're looking for more information regarding your experience, since we don't do mandatory service charges. Could you email me at Cwilson@turkeycreekgc.com with any additional information so that we can make this right?

Lots of fun!

Great course, seems like it will only get better as there are new houses being built along the course. Lots of cool boulders guarding the greens. Great finishing hole too. Highly recommended

Always a solid choice

Always a solid choice for the golfer looking for a well-designed and maintained course which offers challenging holes winding thru a tree-lined venue.

The only word of caution is pace of play at Turkey can be, at times, slower than usual...

Cheers

Boulders!

Excellent greens, a lot of huge boulders all around. Nice driving range and a beautiful practice putting green too. I enjoyed my round very much.

Maintenance

Hardly any water in ball washers. No drinking water! Many greens cluttered with tree debri. How about someone use a blower to clean the greens,or do I have to bring one from home?
