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.

Friday Round as a single

Single golfer trying to get out on a Friday. Staff was accommodating as I was running late. Course is good condition with some bare spots, greens are rolling nicely. Pace of play is good and corse layout is wide with lots of room for novice golf.

Clubhouse is small with small snack bar. Standard municipal food offerings and limited beer and cocktails.

Not recovered from winter yet

Fairways and roughs were still in winter condition. Sand traps need deep raking because the sand depth was shallow. Greens rolled true, were much slower than normal, did not hold the approach shot.

The little things

Absolutely wonderful track.... however there was no ball washers, beverage cart or water to drink on the course at all. This course could easily be 5⭐'s but the more I pay the more I expect. With that being said I will come back n give them another chance.

Course management a must

This was the first time iI've played this course as stroke play. All previous times I'd played in a scramble format. Playing on my own required a more detailed thought process as opposed to grip it and rip it. And it had rained the previous two days so the course was very wet (cart path only wet).

Fairways were soggy in most places. The greens have some very subtle breaks that were tough for me to read. Overall, a challenging layout.

I'd play it again.

Great course if you can get a tee time

This is my home course and it’s a great place to play a mid week round. Good luck getting a tee time on Friday thru Saturday until after 4. They have a dog fight every weekend and they show preference to that group over everyone else!

They need a better way to track the pace of play!

There is no excuse for a 6 hr round of golf. Had a group ahead of us and 3 of 4 golfers were wearing jeans and they were the slowest players I’ve ever been behind. Then come to find out they were apart of a tournament that had not been revealed to us to be playing. This course is nice but needs a lot of work

Great deal for the price just real slow

The place was very nice. Staff was friendly and the course is well taken care of!! The only down side is there are no ball washing stations and the restaurant staff is kinda slow. We waited 35 mins for 2 hotdogs and 2 burgers. We were later to our tee time but we had fun

Pace of play

Once again played on a nice weather day and hasn't rained in weeks and they have carts on path. Course wasn't even crowded and this causes the pace of play to be at a craw. Expect to play 5-6+ hours if you want to play 18. Honestly makes playing not even fun waiting 5 minutes for every shot. Might as well not even have carts at this course and just be walking only.

Improved

First time since bermuda greens added. Great job as these greens are nice. This was a smart move that definitely improved this course. Can't really find any negatives except for the design ollf a few holes. The greens will bring me back.

Ranger Danger

Need to have a ranger or 2 during this early season to make sure that folks obey the “Cart “Path Obly “ rules.

Otherwise the grass won’t grow in during the summer !!!

Course condition.

Recent rains had course at cart path only. Greens in good condition. Some pin placement made it almost impossible for your ball to hold the green when above the hole. i.e. 18. Sand traps hard with hardly any sand. I like the course layout. Actually the course wasn't that soft. The front 9 has new paving on cart path. Very nice!

Requires accurate shots

Fairway and roughs in good condition, with roughs generally long and dense enough to inflect a penalty. Sand traps hard packed. Greens rolled true, were medium speed, did not hold the approach shot well (fairly hard).

Well maintained course

Fairways and roughs in good shape. Some roughs were thick and tall, making finding your ball difficult. Sand traps were not deep raked, providing a hard packed surface, even after the ground crew pulled a plate over the surface. Greens putted true, were medium speed, did not hold the approach shot well.
