Turtle Creek Golf Club1279 Admiralty Blvd., Rockledge, Florida 32955Turtle Creek Golf Club was built in 1971 and was designed by Robert Renault the course is heavily landscaped, traditional Old Florida course with well manicured fairways and greens.
Because the of the winding heavily wooded fairways, your club selection will be crucial. Staying focused is a must because you will find a use for almost every club in your bag.
Turtle Creek Golf Club offers four sets of tees to test the skills of all level of players. The forward tees are fairly short, just 4704 yards. You may elect to move back to the whites to get a little bit more of a challenge. The outward nine is starts out with a great par 5 and is one of the best starting holes a player will ever find. This par 5 (476 yards from the back tees and 355 from the forward) and if you hit a good tee shot that gets you far enough down the fairway, you will have a great opportunity to get to the green in two and maybe bag an eagle; otherwise you may have to lay up in front and pitch into this deep green. Nos. 4 and 5, both par 4s and appropriately referred to as the "wicked sisters" are among the most challenging holes. If you get through each of these holes with a par you’ll be on your way to a great round. These are make or break holes. They both go around a lake to the right and require accurate shots to well protected greens. Teeing it on No. 4 (377 yards from the back tees and 307 from the forward), use a long iron or a fairway wood off the tee. For your tee shot on No. 5 (412 yards from the back tee and 284 from the forward) you may use a 3 wood, instead of driver off the tee, to place your ball safely in play. There is a fairway bunker on 5 that tightens up the landing area; the green is protected by bunkers right and left. You finish the outward nine with a par 4 (335 from the back tees and 248 from the forward). There’s a generous landing area off the tee, but the approach requires an accurate shot to an island green guarded by bunkers left and water right. At Turtle Creek Golf Club the inward nine starts out with one of the most difficult par 4's. The hole is straight away and accurate tee shots are a must if you plan on negotiating the stream wandering across the fairway in front of the green complex and getting home in two. On No 14, you’re faced with a par 5 dogleg left (484 yards from the back tees, 371 from the forward). If you decide to take a chance and try to knock it over the corner you will knock 220 yards out of the hole, but if you don’t make it, you will be in trouble. The finishing three holes are very unique. 16 is a par 4 (417 yards from the back tees and 305 from the forward). The 18th is a slight dogleg left with the aqua range bordering the right and a stream left. You have to pick a club for your tee shot that will put you about 150 yards from the hole.
