Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links

Tis' the season, Ohio! While at first it may seem difficult to fit an entire 18-hole Golf Digest 4-Star layout in a stocking, we at GroupGolfer have done just that with today's holiday season feature: $15 for 18 Holes with Cart at Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links in Akron ($42 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until June 1, 2012.)

Today — aside from the 23-day countdown until itchy "ugly" sweaters, gift-wrap destruction and eggnog-induced naps — you begin a countdown of your own, until June 1, 2012: The amount of time you'll have to take advantage of this great golf value! Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links is a Portage Lake gem moving through its 86th season of golf with one of the finest golf facilities in the region. Proudly brandishing its 4-star rating from Golf Digest, Turkeyfoot Lake honors its storied past of providing Ohio golfers with some of the best greens in the state.

Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links features 27 holes total, including a traditional 18-hole course and a shorter 9-hole course. The par-72 18-hole track measures out to a fair 6,273 yards from the tips with a course/slope rating of 71/118. To make the game as enjoyable as possible for everyone, Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Club features four unique tee locations to accommodate both that scratch golfer in your league and the weekend warrior next door alike. This old Akron track is known for its fast bent grass greens and lush, undulating Bermuda grass fairways to boot. Provided wayward shots avoid the water hazards, bunkers and assorted hardwoods that frame this 27-hole beauty, you'll find the rough to be fairly playable, allowing for some entertaining approach shots.

Before your round, stop by the putting and chipping greens at Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links practice area to get a feel for those characteristically quick greens. Be sure to swing into the pro shop for all the great names in golf that you demand and deserve. And while you’re passing through Turkeyfoot Lake’s facilities, be sure to pop into their clubhouse snackbar and grab some cold drinks while you’re at it.

So here's a toast to the upcoming 87th year of memorable golf at Turkeyfoot Lake Golf Links, and many more to come. Cheers!
