First Eagle

The course is awesome as always. Some of the Tee boxes could use a little help. Fairways are in good shape, greens are good some are a little bumpy but overall in good shape. This course is now one of my favorites since I got my first EAGLE!!! 10th hole par 5, with 112yds left on my approach shot hit a soft pitching wedge left of the hole, ball bounced right trickled down hill and in. EAGLE!!!!

Good Course

as good as the course played, my only complaint was to sand traps were packed and did not look like they had been raked in the recent past. Made playing out of traps very unpredictable and just down right unplayable. Rake the traps and you have a really good course that is very fair and will recommend it, but fix the traps.

Marshy...come on, its a drought!

The course layout is good, and has the potential to be a really fantastic round of golf. The grass is in horrible shape, pitted and bare or burnt in many places. Its also muddy or marshy in many places, including on fairways. I had so many horrible lies and lies which verged on casual water. Won't play here again.

Dissapointed

The course gives the appearance that the maintenance staff has been depleted. Tee boxes are in poor condition. Fairways and greens are fine. There's either grass growing in the bunkers, or cascading down into the bunkers. Again, minimal maintenance. This is a nice layout and very 'friendly', difficulty wise, but it needs some attention.

Very Nice Layout

The Hills course is a player friendly venue especially when you pick the right tee box to play from. On most holes the fairway is very wide. The greens roll very good and are very large so club up. Nice layout and price was right for our birthdays.

Good Round

We enjoyed playing the Orchard Course at Lincoln Hills. The course seemed longer than it really was, but most likely because we hadn't played it before. Course was in good condition, and had enough challenges to keep our attention.

Disappointing

Sorry to report won't be playing at Lincoln Hills GC again. Second time here in 6 months, first time the Hills course, play was so slow we were only able to complete 16 holes by dark. This time 5 1/2 hrs.. Very unfortunate because both courses are very nice, and in good condition. No marshals on the course, and in speaking to one of the representatives, not much concern for the pace of play. Too many good courses in this area to put up with this .

I really enjoy this course

The Orchard side is very forgiving for errant drivers like me. It has wide fairways and it fairly long when you play from the yellows or blues. We find this course to be well layed out and the greens are in superb condition. I would highly recommend this course to those who are long off the tee.

Slow play

Being in a retirement community you have to expect slow play but the course needs to regulate it. When it takes 5 shots just to get on a par 4 hole maybe you should move up a few tee boxes. Just painful to watch and you get tired waiting. Everything else was great but no Marshall seen all day.

Very nice course

This was my first time here, and I really liked the Orchard course.

When you first arrive and enter the restaurant/ bar area, your are awarded with a great view of the course and some of the water features.

The course is well kept especially after all of the rain we've had. The fairways are very wide and forgiving, at least for me. It reminds me of a links course with very minimal trees. There are plenty of water hazards and bunkers and it is hilly. I love the obstacles!

The greens were in very good condition and seem very easy to read.

There area few nature areas where if your ball goes in, you must leave it and take a drop. There are several bridges giving this course a unique look.

I really enjoyed this course and cannot wait to get back and play it again.

Average at best

This was my first time playing the Orchard Course at Lincoln Hills. Disappointed at the conditions of the bunkers...wet sand, not raked and poor. Also, tee boxes were in awful condition. Greens were recently aerated and very sandy. Areas of fairways that were over watered and "swampy". No notification from starter as to which groups should be on first tee. Had to g o search for twosome we were playing with.
