Played Turkey Creek in July and September. Beautiful course in foothills of Lincoln, Ca outside Sacramento. Very well laid out using natural rocks formations. Lots of uneven stances due to slope of fairways, you do not want to be in the rough as it is thick. First tee box is on bluff overlooking fairway with big landing area but well guarded by trees on right if you take it too far. Really need distance control on a lot of tee shots, also it gets tighter through the middle holes of the course. On the back nine, one par 3 has huge elevation change down to hole, guarded by water along front of green, play to middle of the green as both times I played pin placement is near the water side edge of green which looks very tempting 145 yards away. Finishing hole is longer than it looks and do not be right or you will have a lot of water to carry, if you miss short right, shot up the hill is very difficult as it will be blind. Lots of fun, very challenging, worth the trip, greens fee a little pricy but carts have GPS. Food is excellent, service is very good in clubhouse and snack bar.
