Turkey Creek Golf Club

What Turkey Creek Golf Club does

Turkey Creek Golf Club is a single-location public 18-hole golf facility operating at 1525 State Highway 193 in Lincoln, California, within the Sacramento metropolitan area. The course spans 6,929 yards at par 72 with a slope of 138 and is distinguished by terrain features including an old granite quarry converted to a lake on the third hole, rolling oaks woodlands on the front nine, and a back nine described as evoking Germany's Black Forest. The property also includes the largest grass driving range in the Sacramento area, a short-game area, bunker practice, and practice green, plus an on-site Turkey Creek Bar & Grill serving breakfast, sandwiches, and beer.

The business operates a multi-stream revenue model anchored by green fees (ranging $39–$79 depending on time of day and weekday/weekend) and supplemented by golf lessons from three instructors ($50–$150/hour), driving range ball and key sales, equipment fitting through Titleist SureFit and TrackMan technology, and event hosting for weddings, corporate outings, tournaments, bar/bat mitzvahs, and private parties. Junior development is delivered through a partnership with the Will Robins Golf Coaching Academy offering camps, weekly classes, and tournaments, alongside an Operation 36 structured curriculum. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via on-site walk-ins, phone reservations, and third-party online booking through ezlinksgolf.com (powered by GolfNow Business), with marketing handled through the company's website, Facebook, and Twitter.

Technology infrastructure consists of third-party SaaS integrations rather than proprietary systems: ezlinksgolf.com and GolfNow Business for tee time distribution, Memberplanet for Ladies Club administration, a Golf Coaching System for junior program registration, and Titleist/TrackMan for fitting events. The legal entity appears structured as a Limited Partnership ("Turkey Creek LP") based on liability documentation, though ownership, founding, headcount, and revenue figures are not disclosed in available source material. The customer base is broadly distributed across general public golfers, seniors and first responders, junior golfers, event hosts, and lesson-takers, with no named enterprise customers or anchor accounts identified.
