Unbelievable for $13

This course was much better than I expected. Looking at the pictures on the course site I figured it looked ok but not very many flattering pictures, just a plain old park district course. BUT when you get going it's a really nice course, great layout (aside from the entrance to the place...looks like you're pulling into a back lot behind a run down restaurant).

I was able to shoot a round by myself on a Friday afternoon in 2 hours which was fantastic. There are a few holes that could use a touch up (18 is under construction - fixing the bridge over the creek so it goes from 160 yard par 3 to a 60 yard par 3 for the time being, but you are hitting from dirt and crab grass).

The greens are super fast so make sure you take the right approach. Couldn't have been happier with this deal. $13 is ridiculous for a deal for 18 and a cart at a pretty nice course, normally that wouldn't even get you a cart at most places these days!

Not bad for a muni at this price

Paying $14 to play per person with cart I would be hard pressed to say anything bad about the course. After all that price barely gets you 9 holes walking anymore let alone 18 & a cart with a course that has a unique layout, moderate difficulty with all the water that comes into play and for a municipal course isn't in too bad of a shape. Bunkers were a bit scarce but had fluffy sand in them, greens were a nice shade yet manicured. Some holes did need some reseeding/re-sod in spots and some roughs were a bit patchy as well but hey it's a muni for $14 not Ruffled Feathers for $60. Pace of play was just a hair over 3 and 1/2 as we did wait on some holes and the longest wait of the day was teeing off on 1 as we had 3 groups of 2 &3 go out ahead of us. Staff was nice and friendly also it was a laid back atmosphere so if you're looking for a quick, dirty and cheap, hassle free round of golf give Turkey Creek a try.

Great Course Friendly Staff

This is a great course and at the rate that you are able to get it at its a true value. I would recommend this course time and time again. The greens are deceptively fast and slanted, sloped, ungulates, and when you drain a long put you will probably scream...

challenging but fair

This course is quite tight with lots of trees and the creek running throughout the course! When you get a par, or better, you definitely earned it!
