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.

Front 9 vs. Back 9

I played this course with my son for the first time in 2 years. The front nine is easier than the back nine and the maintenance is obvious especially with the cart paths being repaved. The 2nd hole is strange because of the contamination of debris before the green. The back nine is harder and has received no upgrading of cart paths or anything. All 18 greens are good. 3.5 Stars.

Cart paths

The cart paths have finally been fixed on the front nine! All new pavement the whole front nine. Considering the time of year, the course is in good shape. Sometimes it's cart path only, but thats ok. Definitely worth the price.

Nice Course with Newly Paved Cart Paths

This course was in pretty nice shape for the end of December. The new cart paths were really nice to drive on. I only played the front nine so I'm not sure about the current condition of the paths on the back nine. The greens were pretty quick and looked great. The fairways and approach areas looked to be in good condition. The bunkers were in good condition but I did not see any rakes to fix them back up after playing out of them. Par 3s were pretty long. This is a great place.

The course is good !

The course is good, but the Cart Lane has a lot of potholes. Too close to the road, easy to take care of the surrounding vehicles.

Lincoln Country Club

Played Lincoln Country Club for the first time in a little over 4 years. Course was crowded on a Sunday morning and they'd had a small frost delay. Was not impressed with the fivesome that was three groups ahead of us, that each took two off the first tee, so needless to say, pace of play was slow all round. Course conditions were average. Teeboxes were shaggy. Fairways and green surrounds were fine as the bermuda has gone dormant. The greens looked shaggy, but still rolled fairly fast. Bunkers were not maintained, mainly by players as rakes were seldom seen. Cart paths were downright awful. They'd been ground down in many places to smooth them out, but even then, they were barely passable in many others.

As far as the layout itself, the par 3's and par 5's are really tough for the recreational player. All of the par 3's are long, save the 17th, and none of the par 5's are particularly accessible, either. The par 4's are not the longest, but do often dogleg or play either up or downhill. Fairways are fairly generous, and most greens have some pitch to them.
