Relaxing and Challenging Venue

The Hills Course provides a great balance of intermediate challenges as well as peaceful tranquility making for an enjoyable golfing experience. This is a "must do" when in the Lincoln area.

Somewhat Disappointing

I had never played this course, but did follow the LPGA tournament when it was played here. Somehow, I remembered it as a better course. It was in average condition and is not a very interesting design. It is not at all attractive as there are houses along the ridge line above every single hole. There are a few challenging holes and I would rate the par 3s as generally the best holes. The most noticeable aspect of the course is that there are very few level lies. The course is not at all walkable.

This course has no marshal

Most of the time I can give The Hills a good review. This time not so much. We started at the first hole behind a group of four, and each player hit 2 balls apiece from the blue tees. While in the fairway, all four got out of their carts and stood behind the other while he hit his 2nd, 3rd and 4th shots, and so on. The best player in the foursome reached the first green in 4. Okay, first hole out of the way. We finished out with 3 pars and a double. Drove to the 2nd tee and there they were BS ing on the tee box. That is how the rest of the game went. When we hit 14, our cart just stopped. We finished the round on foot as we skipped the next 2 holes. Our tee time was 2:44 on time, and we played until 7:45 after skipping 14 and 15. I guess the more you play the more chance you have of having a bad experience. Calling the marshal only slowed the group down. All in all the round was painful to play.

Hills Course

Twilight rate great value for $. Course in good shape. No food or beverage cart services only negative, especially since it hit 100 degrees yesterday
However they do have a fabulous restaurant and bar with full menu and bar food options. You just don't go by it at the turn

Lincoln Hills-Hills Course

Played the Hills course for the first time after playing the Orchard a couple times. After speaking with a few people, all of them preferred the Hills Course. After playing both, I would have to say that the Orchard is the one I prefer. They are about the same in terms of difficulty, maybe the orchard is slightly more difficult. I just liked the Orchard a little better although the Hills has better views and scenery. The orchard has a good mix of different types of holes. The hills is Driver and approach shot every hole. Do love both of these courses which are very forgiving to the novice golfer. The whole facility is kept in fantastic shape. Can't wait to return!!

Open

The weather was100+ and sunny but tne conditions were very tolerable. The beverage cart only came around once in 18 holes. It is in a residential area but the houses never came in to play. I would play it again.

Great layout on th Hills Course

The course was in good condition and the pace of play was good. Only problem we had was it was 106 degree and all the water jugs was empty and none of the water fountains work pretty sad they need to care more about the players on a day like this.

SLOW SLOW SLOW

I played on a Friday on the Hills course and they had a tournament going on at the same time on each course (Hills, Orchard). My tee time was at 2:30 and got pushed back by 40 mins because of the slow tournament play! My twosome was grouped with another twosome who called the Proshop due to the long delay and they said for them to try the Orchard course, which they did. When they tried that they found five groups waiting to tee off on the Orchard side! So they rejoined us of course. Our round took 5.5 hours. It was 100 degrees that day and the beverage cart only came by one time very early in our round. Every water jug we came across on the course was empty! We never saw one marshal on the course despite a tournament going on!!! Miserable day, never coming back.

Where's the water?

We teed off at 3 pm on a very warm Saturday, the course was in excellent shape, all staff were friendly, helpful and conscientious. However, there was no beverage service, even though we were told there would be until 5pm. Two of the three water containers were empty...no cart service, no on course water = extreme overheating and dehydration. No course marshal to monitor pace of play; the foursome ahead of us was very slow (3 holes open in front of them), never waved up, or let faster groups (twosomes and foursomes) play through, all groups waited 5-7 minutes on every tee and every shot. very, very slow and uncomfortable round.

Wide open fairways

I had never played this course. Got a good price thru GolfNow. Wide open fairways, and easy to see where to hit it off the tee. Played in less than 4 hours as a two some. Course conditions were good, greens a little chewed up with ball marks, but generally good to putt on. Interesting layout, and even with many homes along the course I did not feel hemmed in by them. It was a hot day and there was sufficient water every few holes. My only complaint was that you do not go by the Clubhouse at the turn, and there was no snack bar, or it was not open, on the back nine. There was a softdrink machine, but nowhere to get ice or anything else. It would have been helpful to know this before teeing off.

Punched Greens?

Play this course several times a year and really like it. The only problem is there should be some kind of notification or symbol online when booking a course that recently punched their greens.
