Turkana Golf Course
Played On 04/19/2014
I Recommend This Course
Always a long day here.
Course is one of the better ones around but they dont know how to manage tee times. The course is not very long and the last three times I have went it has been over 5 hours to play 18 holes. I am a 7 handicap player so I play fairly well and rather quick but it seems the tee times are Close together. Played Saturday and at one time there were 7 groups on hole 12 the par 5, no lie. Took us 5 hrs 45 mins to play 18 holes absolutely no ranger and the owners wife said she couldnt leave the desk area to check on golfers. The group that was 6 behind us quit on hole 13 because of the slow play. Good looking course but take a lunch and dinner with you because you will be there for about 5 hrs.

This is an old comment, but wanted to add some clarification for those currently reading. The pace of play at any course is dictated by the golfers, not the clubhouse. In this particular comment, the reviewer stated there was a back up at the 12th tee. This was caused by the golfers. The 11th hole at Turkana is a downhill 300+ par 4 that golfers wait until the green clears because many "think" they can drive the green. More times than not, their ball ends up hooked left into the driving range (where they go look for 10 minutes flipping every ball thinking they'll find theirs) or they slice into 12 fairway causing the groups in front to wait on them. If more golfers learned etiquette, and played the 11th hole how it was designed, the result for their score and the pace of play would be enjoyed by more people.........posted by a former employee / frequent player of the course :)
