The Lincoln Hills Golf Club - Orchard Course

We were NOT told prior to play that the course is under total renovation! In addition, when we made the reservation on Golf Now - there was NO notation as to the conditions. All of the bunkers are torn up and unplayable There were construction workers on the course. When we went back to the Pro Shop, they told us they felt bad for charging customers full price when the course was in such bad condition. Players beware before you schedule a tee time.

All of the bunkers on the course are being renovated. Whether infilled or redone at a smaller size. Greens were in good condition. Credit card machine was down in restaurant, we asked the pro shop if there was a way to get cash back to make a purchase from the restaurant. Response was “we are not an ATM”. Very unprofessional when we’re trying to find a way to purchase goods from their establishment. Maybe explain they only have enough cash for their operations, sorry for the inconvenience. Had a frost delay and they’re starters we’re on the ball getting people on the course best they could.

There was a frost delay and unfortunately, we were not made aware of this.

The staff were not very pleasant informing us that the course was and chipping green were closed due to frost.

The starter, Paul, seemed to have things under control when it opened up at 9.30am and despite the backlog of players was very friendly with the many golfers that were waiting to get out there.

The greens and fairways were in great shape, the pace was wonderful and the overall course was rewarding to good shots. I was surprised to have paid $70 for a tee time when I found that several holes were under major construction, specifically the bunkers. My playing partner and I were hesitant to tee off on several holes due to construction workers walking all over the fairway and bunkers. Knowing that the course was being repaired would have significantly impacted my decision on playing at this price.

We couldn’t finish the round of golf and got rushed off the front 9. They had a 9 hole Tournament. When we checked in never said a thing about the tournament. I took the day off from work to play golf and have fun. But didn’t get the chance to do that. Talked to a young man name Eddie at the front desk and he was completely rude and told us it wasn’t his doing. I play this course all the time and it keeps getting worse every time.

The course and layout were beautiful. The price was outstanding. The only issue, there was a group of 6 two groups in front of us that slowed everyone down. They should have had a Marshall to tell the 6 players to split up.

Course was over watered. Each hole had wet spots throughout the fair way. Greens were recently punched with no warning when checking in at the pro shop. Was charged full rate with sandy awful greens. Use to enjoy playing the course but after my last experience probably won’t go back or recommend to anyone

Greens on Orchard Course were very sanded over; bumpy & inconsistent. No alert warning when booking & couldn't opt for Hills Course due to tournament. Drove an hour & 10 minutes plus.

I have played this course a ton. Usually it is very good, and a decent value. This time they had punched the greens, there was no warning from the pro shop, and the $60 green fee when the greens were in such poor shape was very disappointing. I brought this up to the clubhouse on the way out, and they didn’t seem to value my feedback.

Just a little slow at the start of round! Course looked great though

Five hour rounds on a Thursday PM is ridiculous.

No course marshal or whatever they are called these days. The problem was 2 groups ahead of us and apparently they didn't offer to let people play through. Se basically waited on every shot for the entire round.

This course can be easy in some holes, and rude on others from the tips. Take a 466 yard par 4, uphill about 75 feet tee to green, no way to cut the corner, into prevailing wind, multi-tier sloping green. Back the tees up 20 yards and call it a par 5. Some other holes are quite fun and traditionally challenging. Course condition was variable. Lots of crabgrass all over, patchy rough, wet and dry spots. Inconsistent bunkers. Lots of dead Bermuda. Greens rolled great.

Title says it all, egregiously slow pace of play out here. It is a super senior retirement community, expect a five hour round perhaps longer. Do not play here if you have less than four players.
