The Lincoln Hills Golf Club - Hills Course

This retirement community think that they run the entire course. This is a edgy, controlling and pushy retirement community. They want you to let them pass, they want you to do exactly what they say, and if you don't listen they do little things that can throw you off your game. You want to try to remain professional and respectful but this community wants you to be a jerk. So I gave it to them and complained to the staff about the groups ahead of me and behind me what they were doing. The staff knows all too well the people that do this type of harassment on their golf course. Because when I called in the staff were just saying I know exactly who they are. So this is a cycle that goes on, on this golf course and it makes it not enjoyable to be there. Lincoln Hills could be making more money if they can start to penalize the people that are causing them to lose qualified golfers and paying customers.

I haven’t played the hills course in many years 2004 2005? I believe there was only one course at the time. I feels like some of the orchard was part of the original hills, but I’m not sure of the history. I’ve played the orchard course a few times since we moved back two years ago, this was the first time I played the hills. Of course a lot of fun. Seems a few strokes easier as many funky holes for carries around a father daughter. Can’t wait to try again.

Good - Fast greens, decent fairways, and challenging rough.

Ok - layout on Hills Side had some fun holes and others seemed repeated.

Bad - Staff

From Proshop to Starter, and to the Manager. No customer service. The Starter box was a mess. One guy is running two starter boxes and whatever is translating on his iPad is incorrect. I had to convince him with a reseat that I paid for 18 and not 9 as he was claiming. He waiting til I tee’d off the first hole, then ran over and told me I had to share a cart or pay $20 more dollars at the Proshop. I asked him if he could get someone else as my party already drove to the green. He then called his manager to tell her what I asked and she said to him, too bad, tell him to come up and pay $20. They can keep that old dusty Lincoln Hills community. I’m not going back.

The course layout is good but conditions of tee boxes could be quite better (actually need mowing) and the greens are still in mediocre shape even post aeration. The greens have been inconsistent for some time and I’m not sure if that is the type of grass of the actual agronomy. The course looked like it was preparing for some heat upcoming as the growth is a little bit long in the fairways. The layout is still fun but overall could be an even better value.

WEATHER GREAT, PACE COMFORTABLE AND FAST, 4 HR ROUND. WISH SCORE WERE BETTER BUT NEED TO IMPROVE SKILLS. THANK YOU, ALAN

I still, and as always, wish they had a snack shack available. 2 courses back to back with the clubhouse only accessible at check in, and full meals at that. This is all they are missing. Bring Your Own!

Enjoyed course again - but 4.5 hours on a

Wednesday was too much - no Marshall anywhere - more concerned to have a starter

Weak amenities- good green’s except for 18 which is overdue for a facelift

Course is always in fabulous shape. The replay for $20 is an incredible deal

Great course. I will be back. Really well designed and challenging but fair. You can hit driver. Big rolling and challenging greems.

After all this rainy weather it was great to play a course that was dry and in great condition.

We played at 11:10 on 3/16. Usually, even during frost delay we start on time. When we arrive, we were told they were 15 behind. Once we tee’d off the started came to the first tee as we were taking off and start that there was going to be a backup on the next few holes and recommended us to play slow and take out time. Evidently, the was a shotgun tournament that started on the back and the from side teetimes were not reserved for them making the turn. Well the stack up cause a 5.5 hour round. Very disappointing golf with foursomes on the same hole. Once I arrived on #2, I wish I would have existed and ask for a refund. The good news is that I’ve never experience that over all the rounds I’ve ever played.

I wish Lincoln Hills was a little bit closer to my home but when you’re tired of cart path only at all the other golf courses, you can almost always go to Lincoln Hills and worst case it’ll be the 90° rule. Exceptional drainage; will still be a little bit wet, but overall the courses in great shape even after lots of rain.

Although I would never golf here in the summer, it was wonderful in the winter! The single biggest thing they could do to improve their signage for first-time users!. We finally found the bag drop after driving all over the parking lot. The first tee did not have a forward-most tee-box, but all the others did.

The direction to each new tee was very confusing. We couldn’t even find our way back to the clubhouse when we finally came off the course after the 13th hole (too dark to play anymore). There are NO facilities between the 9th & the 10th holes, for food or drink. Why is it so difficult for a golf course to clearly mark tee boxes & hole numbers???

We enjoyed the course despite these distractions & vexations.

i was a single out on a very busy day but did not mind the occasional bunching up as this was my first time out in nearly two months. Greens were in excellent shape, as were the bunkers, but luckily, I did not experience any sand. Carts have GPS, but only to keep carts in designated areas; there is no GPS info available for players to help with club selection or strategy so who cares.

We played Wednesday afternoon but the course was busy. (It’s in a retirement community). We joined a nice and friendly twosome which was fun. People were nice, but I play on weekdays so that I don’t have to wait at every hole. A lot of Geese and their output on a few holes!!

Bar/Restaurant was closed. No warning of this given when I reserved the tee time
