Turkana Golf Course

Good Lord...the greens on this course are incredibly beautiful - in fact, they just may be the very best of the 323 golf courses I've played (many of them higher-end) from all over the Pacific Northwest across the country to Ohio! Owner Doug and his greens cutter Ed Cranston are to be commended - especially given the Ohio climate. Such a playable yet challenging beautifully scenic course - my favorite must-play when I'm back in the hometown every year. Love the rolling landscape and elevation changes. And the price may also be the best value I've received! Brenda in the Pro Shop is a nice lady…

Played 6/24/25 - 3rd time here, definitely in season now. Ya it was 99 degrees, and insane amount of bugs. But listen, if you haven’t played here, the time is now. This course is in incredible condition, I hope the owners pass this on to the grounds crew, great work….wow. The greens are just about as perfect as you can get. I work at Avalon Lakes, and this public course is a 9.9/10. I absolutely love this layout. It’s challenging, but also a lot of birdie opportunities as well. I clocked out of work at 130, and drove 50 min to play here today in the sweltering heat, and the bugs attacked us an…

The pro shop is always willing to help your visit. What has impressed me is the fact that the Fairways and greens are just as green in the spring/summer as well as the fall...this is not the same on most courses! I don't know if it is feasible to offer a membership, but I will say that y'all have the best military/veteren discount around. See y'all next year.......

Course is challenging, but in great shape. The only issue is the grumpy old guy inside. Not sure if he is the owner or not. Brought 21 guys there and was treated like we were a bother. Retire if you don't enjoy yourself.

Great course! It’s my favorite course to golf at in the area, for sure. It’s challenging but forgiving enough to have a good round. Similar to anywhere you golf, good pace of play and course etiquette are expected. Greens, fairways, and tee boxes are in very good shape. The workers inside as well as the owner are great people. The prices are also very fair. Definitely recommend.

Excellent greens Front nine was back and forth, very similar holes Back nine is odd, especially for first timers Excellent greens Seems to be run by nice people who keep their course nice tee to green Wasn't expecting all the hills Excellent greens

I’ve played this course 3 times over the course of 3 years and each time I play here I get rushed. The first time we got rushed on hole 5, second time on hole 7 today was at the turn. We finished the front 9 in 1hr 55 minutes and got rushed. Myself along with 10 others will never golf here again.

Golf course was in good condition, not yet drying out. Greens were very receptive to approach shots. Public course so of course there’s a few divots on the green. 4/10 on challenging, felt easy to play. Marshall was very involved and kept the pace of play smooth. Only downside is some bumpy cart paths but that doesn’t interfere with the golf so my review is 5 stars.

The course was nice a little hilly but I enjoyed it. Some holes were difficult to find due to no signs posted, and many different paths. The worst part was the cart marshal was extremely rude. We finished the front 9 and decided to play the back 9. We went to the clubhouse and paid for the back 9 and went to the tee box to start. The rude man came racing over and started yelling at me and my friends telling us we can’t play the back 9. We were confused he told us we had to play the front 9, in return we told him we already had. He continued to argue with us until we told him to ask the ladies…

Played here with a mid-size group for an outing and these greens were in great shape, and all the employees were very helpful. I have to laugh at some of these reviews: Ride along without playing? This is non-sense. Get a set of clubs and play, or stay home. Rude ranger? Pick up your pace of play and nobody will complain. Some new golfers just don't know or understand etiquette. Nice job Turkana!

Course was in decent shape. Very hilly and challenging with the greens rolling okay for Ohio. Reason for the 2 star is the marshal/worker was rude in clubhouse of us asking to hit the range and let 3 old men tee off ahead of me and 1 other guy with later tee times. On which we waited on them for 17 holes till they finally let us pass. He never came out to tell them we were waiting 3 hours for 9 holes. Came and chased us down on the course for telling us its cart path only which was fine but disregard the group in front of us until we said why can they do it and not us? And also cart paths are…

Course is great. The owner was really helpful in throwing our first golf outing.
