The Lincoln Hills Golf Club - Orchard Course

The course was in great shape. The course was damp all through it even with 100 degree heat. So the drainage was not good on the course. Still a great course to play and for $39 a round you can't beat the price!!!

Course is in excellent condition except that there were many spots that were very wet from overwatering, but it was during a heat wave of a week of over 100degree days so they were probably trying to protect fairways.
Staff was super friendly and efficient.
Carts in good shape with GPS that work.

They had a very large tournament on the second course. I beleive there was some spillover. We played the front nine in 3 hours and waited every shot. Some bargain? We also teed off half hour later than our start time. This should be disclosed (tournaments) just like punching greens.

Front desk personel was super. Starter was catastrophe. We were registered at 12:00 for a 12:33 tee time. Twosomes and singles were being put together seemingly random. We were finally sent out as a twosome just before 12:40 Hit the shot, wait...hit the shot, wait! We finished the front nine at 3:15. We couldnt take it any more. So much for a bargain

Where do i start. From the min we enter the pro shop the stuff was very friendly and funny. Even the starter which is next to the range was very nice. The whole course was in very nice conditioned. The greens were fast. Dont even try to attack the flag wont work, Overall had a very good round. Only problem i did have was with the cart boy at the end of the round. Me not seeing where the cart return sign was at i parked the cart next to the other 15 or so carts where at. I seen the cart boy should say man anyways and asked can i leave the cart here, He said cant read. I said well i dont see a sign so guess not. He said well next time read that way i dont have to get up to move it for you. I said well thank you and thats why your the employee and im the customer have a nice day. Thats the only problem i did have ALL DAY LONG. If you havent played here before which was my first time you missing out. Will be back VERY soon.

our tee time was at 12:30 and they didn't get us out until 12:50 p.m. We played the Orchard course and there is no drinks or food on the course or at the turn except for vending machines in a couple of places. After 10 holes without seeing the drink cart we called the pro shop and they said they would try to find the drink cart and send them. They took my cell phone but didn't call me back and didn't send a drink cart. I called again on hole 13 or 14 and they said the drink carts had gone home. We would have stocked up on drinks and food before we went out if we would have been given some warning. When we finished at 6:10 p.m. the pro shop was closed. I went in the restaurant to tell them what happened and the bartender said "we areseparate ownership but we get complaints all the time so it is obviously a recurring problem. The course is a nice course for the money but poor service.

Greens which appeared to have been sanded recently were very hard. Good approach shots landing on the greens would bounce hard and roll of the back ending up on 3" rough. Chipping back to the hole was no bargain either. I would have played elsewhere if I had been made aware of these conditions in advance.

Although there were a lot of golfers, pace of play was very good. Course is visually appealing and very well maintained. Lots of different types of hazards, yet plenty of room in the fairways. Really nice greens, lots of character and in very good condition.

course was well maintained... nice large fairways and greens... very user friendly.

Very well maintained, fair but challenging, some of the nicest carts with GPS, lots of water with several bridges over riparian areas. Disproportionate amount of turtles on the course they could have named it Turtle Rock Valley. Can't wait to go back!!!

i love this course , but my second 5 hour round in 2 weeks

I have played here twice and both times check in personal were professional but slow. I would recommend arriving at least 30 minutes prior to your tee time to avoid any stress. I mention this because both times only one person was ahead of me in line with three employees behind the counter and both times only one employee was checking in customers at a slow pace. The other two pretty much ignored me. Course is in good condition, well maintained and the carts are new, clean with gps, very nice.

Hadn't played here in several years and hasn't changed much. Greens were ok, fairways also ok and tee boxes in good shape.
Some holes unless you've played before can be confusing but
a good enough course to play to get your game together. Play was unusually slow, 2 some and 3 some ahead of us, we were a 2 some but it was not moving along well. We teed off at 3:21 and no cart service after 4; we finished at 8:10. It was a good change of pace but about 10 courses I would choose ahead of it. Golfnow's price was right for the time of day.

We will go back. Good course. Good staff. Good experience.

Was booked for lincoln hills, was put on their orchord course. gps stopped working after the forth hole. caught up to a sixsome and didn't let us play through. five hour round????

With the wide open fairways, you can hit driver on most holes. Only a few tee shots require more strategy.
The greens were sanded, but usually they're in nice condition.
The bunkers were bad. Some were fluffy, some were crusty, and it looks like players don't rake their footprints.
I like playing here early in the morning, before 7, or in the heat of the afternoon. The Sun City residents play mostly from 8-12. If you avoid the peak hours, the course feels empty.

Have you ever been to a course to be disappointed once you started to play. This was not the case here. The course is very well taken care of from tee boxes to the greens. Course is very challenging from the placement of the bunkers, to water coming into play.
Only bad thing I noticed was that I never saw the beer cart.

Nice course. Not quite as nice as the other side(The Hills) but still plenty of fun. Starter was very nice as were the folks at check in. Fairways in better than average shape. Cart was brand new which was nice. GPS on carts worked well with yardages to important points on holes as well as the greens. Greens were in OK shape;I think they may have sanded/areated them recently.

Greens were very bumpy, because they were punched and sanded a couple days before we played....wish I would have known. However, it was still a good day to play and we had fun with this course layout. We played the Orchard course which is a bit longer than the Hills course.

I was NOT happy with a 5 hour round... VERY slow group ahead of us... the youngest was probably 75years old.... and NO marshal anywhere to be seen. Also the GPS on the cart did not work...aarrgg.

I will likely play here again when the weather warms up and the older folks won't be out because it'll be to hot AND the greens will most likely be in superb condition.

P.S.
Note: DO NOT HIT DRIVER ON 13 or 14....you'll be sorry if you do. A 3/4 3 wood or hybred is the way to go.

Unfortunately when I came on this day they had punched the greens and were installing new GPS systems onto their golf carts. Course was not up to standard but under these conditions I can see why. I would play here again tho!
