Played Turkey Creek Sunday, Oct. 8. Awesome! From the moment I arrived I was impressed. The cart attendant was there before I could get out of mt car. Asked if I wanted a cart. (YES. you do want a cart.) This course has so much ambience and charm you might catch youself sightseeing. Used my driver three times as "smart golf" is the recommended play of the day. There were so many shots you need to shape, you get to use all of your clubs. One green had some bare spots but, the rest were in great shape. Can't wait to come back!!!

During my trip to this area it seems all the courses are in questionable condition. Greens were probably the best part ofthe course. Fairways .... lots of bare spots. I love the course, staff is very ... Continue »

Very dissappointed. It did only cost $25, but still was dissapointed. Pace was slow, sod was re-layed everywhere and was done POORLY. Seems like everyone playing there just does not care to repair ... Continue »

Very dissappointed. It did only cost $25, but still was dissapointed. Pace was slow, sod was re-layed everywhere and was done POORLY. Seems like everyone playing there just does not care to repair their divots in the greens either.

I play a different course every week and this course is in the worst shape I have seen locally. I wonder what the other greenskeepers know that Turkey Creeks greenskeeper doesn't know, because he is definitely struggling.

This was a decent course. Not as good as the hype though. Definitely in the TEAL BEND family, as the first thing I noticed was that the clubhouse is identical to Teal Bend's clubhouse. I was excite... Continue »

This was a decent course. Not as good as the hype though. Definitely in the TEAL BEND family, as the first thing I noticed was that the clubhouse is identical to Teal Bend's clubhouse. I was excited to be going to a course with GPS on the carts, until half way through my round as I realized that most of the cart paths were roped off to prevent carts from entering the fairways. Why have GPS on the carts if the carts can't go to your ball.......The sixth hole was extremely frustrating due to the greenskeeper with his two-way radio cranked up like he was at a football game, talking with someone the whole time we were in the fairway. After our approach shots to the green and dodging the sprinklers that just turned on "automatically" while we were heading back to our carts, we asked the greenskeeper if he would turn down his radio while we were playing. He replied, sure thing - whatever! We looked at each other and headed for the green. What happened next was the same greenskeeper approached the green while my buddy was putting - yes, talking on his radio like we weren't there. I was addressing my putt, when the sprinklers around the green, again "automatically" turned on. I stopped, looked at him and firmly asked........could you turn the radio DOWN so we can play and could you keep the sprinklers off............he grunted something........I called the pro shop and complained.........five minutes later, while heading to our tee shots on the next hole, some guy came out and asked if we had a problem. I replied yes and explained, only to get the response - do you want the grass to die and then have to play on dirt?

I'll tell you what - I understand grass needs watering, but why does it have to happen while you are being charged good money to play there. And should I have to listen to some illegal alien on a radio that you could hear at a football game while I am trying to focus on my shot - if so, I can guarentee that I will NOT be slapping down my greenbacks to play there.........yes I would rather play in Scottland (ie. the do you want to play on dirt comment), where there is at least consideration for it's paying guests. Hell, I'd rather pay to play at Bing Malony with airplanes flying 200-400 feet over my head.

This course has many attributes that are important to me. It is visually very beautiful and appears natural, the condition of the course is always good, and it is so quiet you can hear the birds talking to each other. (I should mention that my buddy lost his appreciation for the charming wild turkeys when one of them let out a series of gobbles during the backswing of his birdie putt.)

The course is quite challenging for those of us who do not always hit the ball straight. The fairways are mostly treelined and some are very tight, with unmowed underbrush between the trees, only a few feet off the fairways. If you hit it in there forgetaboutit. I think the blue tees are best for single-digit handicappers or extremely straight hitters. This is a course where prior knowledge is valuable, because there are many doglegs and elevation changes, causing tee shots to finish out of sight of the tee. Try to get paired with a local.

All in all, it is very much worth the cost and it is one of my faves.

Played on 4/20/05. Course is beautiful and well cared for. Some challenges. Greens were very slow on the front nine. They had put in color GPS on the carts. The best feature of it was that it showed the distance to the carts in front of you. No guessing if they were far enough away. I look forward to playing there again.

Nice course. Fun layout... always interesting and thought provoking. The granite boulders strewn about are great looking. Not a walker's course (cart included in green fee) as there are many long trips between holes and some big elevation changes.

The greens were pretty shaggy, but we played after a few days of heavy rain. I imagine that they can be pretty good when the weather's better. The fairways were really nice. A little long here and there, but to be expected after the rain. The tees were pretty beat up... we played the whites.

My Dad and I enjoyed our day. Nice people, beautiful course, and we got a pretty good deal on the Turkey Creek website (http://www.clubcorpgolf.com/clubs_region/sacramento_ca.asp).
