Lincoln Country Club has a scenic landscape of hardwood forests and meandering creeks. Although it might not seem like anything special on first glance, the golf course is actually one of the area's hidden gems. The traditional design has a surprisingly formidable test. The challenging golf course has a front nine with tree-lined fairways and small greens that demand accuracy. While the back nine is more open, it's no less challenging. Shot placement will still be an important factor when maneuvering the greens. Ponds and creeks come into play throughout and there are strategically placed bunkers lurking along many of the greensides. The Lincoln Country Club golf course finishes with a tough par 4 that demands an accurate tee shot with out-of-bounds on the right and a creek on the left. Don't underestimate the undulating green, it has seen many three-putts in its time.

Good course but cart safety watch out

The course has more water than I anticipated but it was a fun challenge. Course needs more golf carts in stock. For new players, please be careful crossing the streets with the golf carts. Streets and the course are not marked to warn oncoming possible traffic. We almost got ran over by a truck going too fast down the street.

Great value

Enjoyable course with some interesting holes. Overall, it is in great condition. The greens were pristine, though relatively small. Plenty of room in the fairways. On the par 4 doglegs, especially the 90 degree ones, you need to hit almost exactly 200 yds from white tees. Too long and you’re in trouble, and shorter gives you a difficult angle to approach the green. Would definitely play it again

Bad etiquette

No wonder golf is having it's problems. I wish that golfers would understand how the game should be played so that the time for a round is speeded up. I had a situation where so called golfers played so slow that there was four or five sets of golfers on each hole

quite the gem

grabbed a tee time here due to the solid ratings on golfnow. Was not disappointed. Great layout with the front and back nine having different looks. The greens were fantastic. The course is worth 30% than the greens fee I paid. I will be back.

Course in good condition

The front nine greens were being aerated, so we played the back nine twice. Greens are in good condition but a little slow. They hold the approach shot well. Fairways are in good shape. Sand traps need some attention. Overall, an enjoyable round.

Nice Course But is changing...

A fun course, Great conditions, staff friendly.a nice tee selection, not very long, some tee shots are tight, but fairways open. Some houses along the course likely been there from the beginning, they do not encroach and are not in play. The day I played, hole number 1 and 2 are being encroached by new housing construction, I assume this will expand to more of the course. The housing being developed seriously changes both holes involved and it appears the new housing will be in play and in my opinion will diminish the experience.
