Lincoln Hills-Hills Course

Have not played this course in a couple years but wanted to put in a practice round for an upcoming tournament there. What a disappointment! The fairways were spotty and either burnt crisp or sparse and muddy. The tee boxes were uncut and unkept. It was a very hot afternoon but the usual conveniences of drinking water on the course was very sparse. Overall, not a value for the discounted $48 fee on a Wednesday morning.

On the other hand, the greens were decent and true.

Very disappointing.

Awesome course

Had a great day. Both courses are great to play at Lincoln. Hill and Orchard, Driving range and chipping area are very nice . The price was very reasonable, all though the cart girl was not around very much but everyone was very friendly.I would definitely recommend this course

A Fun Test

This course in the past has been a premier must play test. I played in a foursome who plays this course quite regularly and we all agreed on our assessment. We definitely see some course deterioration and lack of attention. Areas previously mowed are no longer being mowed. Many places on the course are being overrun with large clumps of crabgrass. Most of the greens have ball marks which previously have not been properly repaired. Don't get me wrong, I will still play the course, but I hope the establishment will take a closer look and see what we were seeing yesterday.

Worth Playing

I play this course a few times a year. Of the two courses here this is the one most people want to play. Greens were in pretty good shape, wish people would repair their divots. Sand traps were good and fairways were good but again wish people would repair their divots. Overall this is a very nice course, it is a little challenging but you will have a nice time playing it.

A disappointment

Conditions really let this course down. The fairways were over-watered with sprinklers running on some holes at noon. I had mud balls all day. The bunkers were appalling, seeming to not have been raked/conditioned in weeks. The pace of play was quite slow even on a Monday (although I can understand this on a retirement community course). The course is reasonably designed with some interesting holes, but that's not enough to justify my drive from East Sacramento given the major drawbacks.

Mostly my mistake

I should have known better than to try and play a quick round at a Del Webb course. Went as a single and was told the course was wide open. Got stuck behind a twosome (who wouldn't acknowledge me) who were behind a slow foursome. Over 100 degrees and the beverage cart made one appearance and a couple of the water jugs were completely empty. Round took almost 5 hours. Probably won't be going back to Lincoln Hills any time soon.

Very nice course.

The course has a nice layout. Fair, but challengeing. It is rare that this course goes on sale, so I jumped at the opportunity. Glad I did.

Excellent golf in Lincoln

This is a fun, fair course. It is always in good condition and well maintained. It has excellent drainage and hence is not soggy during the rainy season.

Irate ladies

Course in beautiful condition except for parts of a couple of tee boxes. Understood that a ladies tournament was scheduled to start shotgun on holes 1-7. Played 6 holes in 1 hour arriving at 7 as ladies did who promptly told us the course was theirs and we needed to leave. Clubhouse (ladies called) told us to skip 3 holes and continue. Par 3 hole could have been completed in 5 minutes.

Wrong course

Booked a tee time at the Hills course and was not allowed to play Hills course. We were switched to the Orchard course due a tournament and we didn't know until we checked in with the starter.

We were looking forward in playing the Hills and left disappointed
