Green inconsistent

The greens were Extremely slow up hill, super fast down hill. Grain was ridiculously bad on the greens. The recent weather was probably a factor. Big fairways, huge greens, no rough. Grip it and rip it.

Good. Not Great.

PROS: Great break in weather so it was nice to get out on this sunny day. Rate was $35 instead of the normal higher rates. A very fun course with nice layout.

CONS: Very slow pace. There was a group of five slowing down about four groups behind them. Took marshall a long time to respond. Had to wait on over half the tees and a number of 2nd shots. Only saw cart girl once as she had to work both courses. Some soggy areas so very muddy but this was due to the weather the days before, however there was a large coned off area next to the 16th green that had a broken water pipe that was flooding the cart path and rough.

Overall I walked away saying that was a fun day of golf. Completed round in 4.5 hours before dark.

Slow Play

I normally don’t write reviews, but find it necessary today. The course is fun and in pretty good shape. However, I had a 12:06 pm Tee time. When I arrived at the clubhouse at 11:40 to check in I was asked if I wanted a bucket of balls in which I replied, no thanks, I don’t think I have enough time. At that moment the CSR should have informed me they were running 45 minutes behind. Had he told me I wouldn’t be starting until 12:50, I would have cancelled my game. and just ordered a bucket of balls. There was a 4some ahead of us that had no idea how to play ready golf, and no marshal to point them in the right direction. I made my tee time early enough that I could finish a full round of golf, however was not able to play the last 3 holes. I have had similar problems with Lincoln Hills Golf Club in the past. It will be the last time I play there.

Rake the bunkers!

Greens are in great shape but they need to rake the bunkers in the morning. Sure can’t blame rain.

Course needs some Maint work

The layout is good, typical Del Webb retirement type course but it lacks a lot of maintenance. Traps were horrible no sand in fairway traps and some green side traps. Bare spots in the fairways. Greens were good...

DISAPPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST... I’ve played there numerous times and I felt like I needed to write this review

Boring and SLOW!

If 100 yd wide fairways are your thing then Lincoln Hills is your kind of course. It was Fathers Day so pace was SLOW but it was really painfully slow. So much so that I quit after 9 and then played 2 holes on the companion Vineyard course until I ran into yet another 3 groups on the same hole situation,

8 minute tee time gaps is one problem but this is a retirement course and as such it's designed to be user friendly. For me that equates to boring. Add slow play and I'm out of there never to return.

Yes, you might expect Fathers Day Sunday would generally SLOW but the 8 min between tee times didn't help. If it were a better course I might of hung in there but there were 3 groups on many holes and being the very user friendly retirement course it is was enough for me.

Not a course I would play again considering all of the better course/condition options in the area.

So you're saying the golf course was crowded on a Fathers Day, a Sunday......

Been awhile

I have not played the hills course for a little while,found it to be in wonderful condition.the tee boxes were for the most part in good shape,the fairways were in excellent shape and the greens were very nice(a little slow) . The driving range had the best turf I ever remember there,chipping area large with bunkers..practice green large and rolling like the greens on the course..overall a very nice round

Thank you

Best greens I've seen in a while

This was a true joy. A buddy of mine and I went up to Lincoln for a golfing weekend. We played Darkhorse, Lincoln Hills- HIlls Course, Lincoln Hills- Orchard Course and Turkey Creek.

We actually played the HIlls course on Friday which was our first round of the weekend. After the weekend was coming to a close, we agreed that the HIlls course was in the best condition and also was just a really fun layout. They did an excellent job of hosting us on Friday to a point where we actually finished our trip out on Sunday afternoon with another 18 holes at the Hills Course.

I can't remember the last time I paid $32 and played on greens that were this true. Darkhorse and Turkey Creek had just punched their greens, so both of those courses had a ton of holes in the greens and sand on them. Not Lincoln, Lincoln had punched about the same time but uses a newer technology for punching greens which is obviously working.

We will definitely be back!!
