Course was in good condition and fun to play but my issue is with golf now. You're better off calling the course to book your tee time instead of golf now because that way you can change if you need to. I hope using golf now because they charge too much and there's no one to contact to change a reservation.

Nice round for great price

Fairways and greens in good shape. Greens rolled a bit slow but were true and not many ball marks. Greens had some slopes and undulations and held approach shots well. Tee boxes OK and bunkers inconsistent and a little rough. Great price with a cart for $40 on a Tuesday late morning round. Played at just under 4 hours for a nice even pace. No GPS on carts. Would recommend to play if you have never had the chance before. Will visit them again before the end of this 2020 season.

good price. Nice course

This course is laid out to make it a fair test for the average golfer. Maintenance was average public course quality for a course that was once a top tier private club.

Walked

Course was double booked with GolfNOW!

I paid 4 X $75 for a foursome with Carts. They double booked all the golfnow and clubhouse tee times. Place was a complete disaster for going off in time and not having enough carts on a 90 degree day. Although management did try everything they could to help the awful situation made EVERYONE miserable. How does this happen?!? Two of my group had to walk with pull carts they provided just so we could tee off over an hour passed our tee time. How do I get refunded for this???

Unbelievably bad

The course is in ok shape, below average greens for the area. The driving range was subpar.

Here’s the unbelievable part: every tee time for the morning we played was double booked. There were 6-8 players for every tee time, so it was backed up from the get-go. We had an 8:10 tee time and finally got to tee off at 8:40. No employee explained the situation and there was no starter or ranger. We got off the course at 2:00. There were 2-3 group back-ups regularly, and we routinely waited 10+ minutes on tee boxes.

Can’t recommend to anyone, especially with better courses nearby. I’ve never been to a course that’s been more poorly run.

Turnberry

I am writing this trying to forget what Turnberry once was during its private days. I have played Turnberry sporadically for the past 40 years (it was the home course of my high school golf team). It is sad to what has happened to the overall facility, but all in all the course is in very good shape. Fairways and rough are pretty firm and you can land short and run up, but the greens were still receptive

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Turnberry Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Worth a Second Look

I haven't played out there in over two years. The place has struggled to maintain the course up to the old private club status. Moreover, some holes suffer significantly from substantial amounts of precipitation. It can get pretty sloppy wet out there. I came out this week to check it out (after a fairly dry week weather-wise). I was VERY pleased with this 9-hole round. The staff was courteous in the pro shop. I was greeted with a smile and had pleasant, light conversation with the course maintenance crew on 3 of the 9 holes I played early on a weekday morning. I don't think I saw another golfer on the back 9. I managed to zip around the course in about 1 hour in a cart. Greens were a bit slow, but with so much slope, that's probably a good thing. More importantly, they rolled true and were consistent. Fairways were fairly tight and rough wasn't crazy long. Definitely worth giving it a try (or a second look) if you haven't seen it in 2020.
