Lincoln Country Club
About
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.

very easy layout. short rough. few sand traps.
Was told to tee off on 10. Seniors(members) were having a dog fight at (9:30). Number 10 green was very rough. Putted and ball bounced along. Ball marks were excessive. Number 14(par3) had a recent ball mark from the senior members so large there was no way someone could of missed it. Management seems to not care,and members are not setting proper examples. As we get to 18 tee box,we see 3 kids crossing the fairway. We hit,and come to the ladies tee and each kid has 2 clubs each. We ask them what their doing, and they say their from the middle school. We finish only 9 holes and drive to the car. We payed $16.00 each, but to see a course mismanaged as it is,to pay any amount is too much.
This course is challenging, but fair.
We enjoyed this course quite a lot. Great price, great pro shop, and well maintained. The greens were fast and true. The vistas are really nice, too. The pace of play was crisp. Good shots were rewarded for the most part.
Course is challenging and in overall good condition for time of year and recent lack of rain.
This course will be beautiful in a couple of weeks as the leaves begin to change. Course is challenging and in overall good shape. Greens could use some work, pretty rough in spots but better than they were mid-summer. LOTS of ball-marks from people not fixing where their shots land - too bad really. But overall a really good deal for the price on a Sunday afternoon ($22.00).
noisy
Even though we had over 2" of rain just hours before we played the course was good condition and only 90 degrees.
Challenging
I have played this course only a couple times and am impressed with it's layout. Challenging but not unforgiving. You will use every club in your bag. Many doglegs where you do not hit driver off the tee. Beautiful location and the 76 degree day didn't hurt.
Course OK
Greens were in good shape and would hold nicely. Only complaint is that the rough was long and you would have difficulty finding balls after good shots just off the fairway. And there were excessive grass clipping where they had mowed. Alot if this though can be attributed to all the rain we have had; most courses have just not been able to keep up.
Nic course
The course was in good shape, and a nice round. It could have used a little extra attention in raking up the dead grass clippings from the last mowing, but otherwise for the weather we have been having, it was good. A good value for your money.
Enjoyed the course !
Had a good day. Nice place to play. Did lose a couple of balls in the fairway. The grass had recently been mowed, heavy clippings on the fairway in some spots. I will play again.
Needs much attention
I have played this course for several years on and off and it has always been a pretty good course, that has changed. I went into the pro shop to pay, and they said nothing of the tourney that was just going off, and they failed to mention they had just put sand on all the greens, even when i called them on the phone. I found out when we reached green #1. They had went up on price also. Not to mention course had not been maintained, with grass not being mowed, sometimes even in the fairway. I lost a few balls and just got fed up. I will not be back to this course until they maintain the course. A total waste of money. Would it kill them to buy a mower with a grass catcher, or mulching kit?
Wide open
Tough to review, weather has been tough. They should have alerted us to the poor conditions.
nothing memorable about course
The course is old and looks like a very cheap municipal course. None of the holes are memorable. Greens were in ok shape but the rest of the course had a lot of weeds and areas that looked like they had not been maintained for quite some time.
Great Greens
Played in 4 1/2 hrs. Greens were Great, course was right in front of you. Good golf Course.

I had heard good things about this course. perhaps my expectations were too high. We were surprised to find the greens to be so hard although in good condition and such a lack of markings to assist in estimating distances.
Understandably, since this is such an old course, many of the features are very well established, which does help make this a challenging course.There were some unmarked hazards such as the swamp in the middle of the 11th fairway and ground that should be considered to be under repair in a number of places. The cart paths are in need of upgrade or major repair. The staff was quite friendly and helpful for their part.
Our overall experience was good and memorable and it can be said that it is a good value for the money. I would recommend this course and even play it again, with the knowledge gained in our first experience.
Glass half full
Wasnt the best course I ever played and it definitely wasnt the worst. Greens rolled true but the course def needed some rain. Some very narrow fairways. Cant complain for what we paid in greens fees.
Friendly people, bad course
The Course needs a lot of attention. The greens were in ok shape but everything else lacked. There was not a fringe around the greens just dirt. There wasn't a fairway so it was hard to tell if you were in the fairway or the rough. The tee boxes were terrible. The grass was tall which wouldn't allow to tee the ball up properly unless you had long tees. The staff on the other hand were super friendly. Maybe some of the nicest people I have met at any clubhouse. Im sure that during the summer this course looks better. I certainly would call ahead.
good value
very good value for the money that i paid thru golf now. good course layout. pretty challenging. course had alot of staying water on course but considering they had 2 inches of rain and snow 2 days before it was in better condition than i would have thought. greens in pretty good shape for january
the greens were in great shape
Nice layout, greens in great shape,tee boxes were good.
Great buy for the money
Got out at 2:30 and still finished by 5:30. Even in winter conditions the greens were in good shape. Good experience.
