The Lincoln Hills Golf Club - Orchard Course

Staff are friendly. Course in great condition. Layout OK. Had a great time and worth the price.

Several tee boxes are overgrown with crabgrass and the rough and fairways have multiple weeds/crabgrass. With Troon taking over, I would assume this will be a high priority to address before the spring hits.

Just a few challenges but a fairly open easy course.

The starter allowed 6 players to go out as a group on a packed crowded holiday. We waited on every shot and it took us a little over 5.5 hours to play. We called the pro shop and they didn’t seem to care as several groups behind us called and complained. We had at least two groups on the box each time and at one point had three groups on the box waiting.

Awesome course, greens kept, fairways nice, tee boxes nice, bunkers are very muddy. Biggest complaint is no clubhouse on the turn as well as no beverage cart

No course marshal to regulate pace of play. Called the club house for hours and no answer. Once I finally got some one to answer they said it was forwarded from the club house to him and he couldn’t help us. We were verbally threatened by the group in front of us for asking them to speed up their pace of play. The clubhouse restaurant and bar were closed on a Sunday but that could’ve been Covid19 related. The cart service going from hole to hole saw us on hole 1 and hole 17…. For a 5 hour and 20 minute round this wasn’t very effective, I assume they have 1 cart for both courses.

The Orchard Course is the tougher of the two Lincoln Hills courses but relatively speaking it’s still a fairly easy course although they’re a few par fours on the back nine that are pretty tough. Good weather, course was in pretty good condition, greens were fine but we’ve got behind a group that was extremely slow they were at least two or three holes behind the people in front of them. Still enjoyed the round.

GREENS AERATED AND SANDED BUT STILL PLAYABLE. PLAYED AT MY OWN SPEED WITHOUT ANY OTHER PLAYER. MADE FOR GREAT PRACTICE.

The coarse is in good shape overall. They are trying to keep the coarse from burning but there’s a lot of standing water in the middle of the fairways. The sand traps were somewhat raked and if air shape to play.

I had high hopes that the Orchard course would be in better shape than it’s current condition. The Hills course has maintained a far better condition through the summer.

The Orchard has a lot more browned out sections on the course , the bunkers all have not been maintained or trimmed in months. There are tall weeds growing on some of the fairways and the crab grass is running rampant. The greens aren’t bad

For a few bucks more, play the Hills.
