Turkey Creek

The bartender was too busy socializing in the back. Could hardly get served. Fairways and tees were in poor condition. Greens were good.

Never again

Playing at this course was a huge mistake, booked a time @ 4pm for 18 holes & the staff took our carts @ 6:15pm so our day was over before we finished. The fairways were in very poor condition, had a better outing at their 9 hole facility! Wouldn’t recommend playing there to anyone & will personally NEVER play there again!!!

Over crowded very slow pace , I didn’t even finish the round it took me about 3 1/2 hrs just to get to the 10th hole . When I asked about a rain check I was told to come back and I’d be taken care of . I will not be back though this course is in no way shape or form a good gold course .

Really nice greens

Fairways a little rough due to animals digging for grubs, but the greens were in great shape!!

Not worth the money

Your money is better spent somewhere else. Several greens in very poor condition, several fairways in bad condition. Layout too tight. Trees not being trimmed and overhanging into fairways. Carts in poor condition.

SoSo

The layout of the course is very good but not very well maintained. There were a few interesting challenges on the course. The group in front of us was very slow and we never saw the “marshal’ until we were on the 17th hole. We should have been able to play this course in about

3 1/2 hours but it took about 5. Waaaay too long.

Cool Feature

Fun course with a lot of water traps. Pace of play is pretty quick. Navigation between some holes can be confusing. If you book on GolfNow, know that they have leagues starting at 3pm, so you have to be at home 10 by then.

Overall good course

Course was overall in good shape. A couple greens had some rough spots, but majority was just fine. Has a unique and challenging design on some holes mixed with decent forgiving ones. Pace of play was slow due to a large group. I’d recommend and lay it again for sure

5.5 hour round

Course is fine. Had a foursome holding up at least 5 groups from hole 5 on. Something should have been done by ranger. Nothing was done. I will give this course one more try but that was ridiculous.
