Crane's Landing at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort

The moderate weather and good course maintainence has this course in great shape.
The staff was very helpful.
Rangers kept the pace moving.

I have played this course many times. The design is a tale of 2 different 9 hole courses. Short, relatively straightforward front 9, and long, challenging back 9 that requires a good bit of course knowledge. Nonetheless, the conditions on this course are rough, and have generally declined the past few years. Yes, the course flooded earlier in the year, but this has happened before with a much better recovery. Lots of bail out areas are unmaintained, and there are just many places on the course that play like a low end muni. The greens vary with speed, and there were tire marks from the greens mower, even at noon. The crowned greens really need maintenance to be fair, and not penal due to neglect. Yes, some bunkers have been rebuilt, as they formerly became ponds with each rain. Overall, the poor maintenance and greens sap the potential of this course to be as good as it could.

I want to keep this a secret but Crane's Landing was in terrific shape and offered many different looks. The GPS on the carts was extremely helpful to average golfer like myself.

FRONT NINE WAS SHORT,BUT TIGHT. BACK NINE HAD SOME LONG AND DIFFICULT PAR 4'S WITH DOG LEGS.
TEE OFF AREAS WERE FINE, GREENS WERE SMOOTH AND TRUE. PINS COULD HAVE BEEN MARKED BETTER FOR DISTINCTION (RED,BLACK,BLUE).
WATER AND SAND COME INTO PLAY ON MANY HOLES, AND IT TAKES A WHILE TO BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THE CONDITIONS. MUST USE ALL THE CLUBS IN YOUR BAG!.

I'm from Missouri and played this course on vacation. I was blown away by the friendly staff and course conditions. I'm not a great golfer but I really enjoyed playing here. I would recommend it to anyone.

well kept, nice layout with some work need on the greens but it was wet. The GPS on the carts is a big help....with "flyovers" even...great stuff. DOn't need Driver on some holes that have drastic doglegs..............fun course near great restaurants so go grab lunch. The refreshment cart - Real Expensive - drink the water.

Have not played Crane's for a couple of years and was pleasantly pleased with the new upgrades. Very friendly staff and an overall enjoyable experience.

very well kept, front 9 moderate/easy course; back 9 a bit more challenging. GPS in carts a nice touch. would play again certainly

Nice, well maintained course. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Will be back.

Played a nice pace 18 holes; enjoyed the course very much. I would recommend this course it had plenty of water on many of the holes. From golf now was $23 per person.

Great experience! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They had our carts out and ready before we arrived. The GPS equipped carts were a nice addition to the round.

The front 9 is more open than the back 9, which has a lot of water hazards.

I like this course. Lots challenging courses. Par 3 all of them challenging and pretty hard. I had 20 over. Not great for me. Looks tough. Love and challenging. Great features.

Staff were amazing and friendly, course is a bit boring.

We have played Crane's Landing a few times many years ago and decided to pay it a visit for old times' sake. I don't recall it being this much nicer and so much better maintained. The management has done a tremendous job on this course. A friendly and very helpful staff did not hurt either. It should be an enjoyable and challenging course for all golfers from newbies to scratch players with different tee boxes to choose from.

Unlike many courses, this one begins with relatively short, easy holes and gets more difficult as the round progresses. 8 (a par 4) and 9 (a short par 3) are challenging, 10 is a long par 4, 11 requires an excellent drive or you don't make it around the sharp dogleg to the right, 12 is a long, difficult par 3, 16 is a visually challenging and long par 3, 17 is a tough par 5 (dogleg to the left) and 18 is a long, tough par 4 requiring an accurate tee shot and second shot. A lot of false fronts and huge, undulating greens. A fun course!

Par 3's are plenty challenging; some real long and others gettable with a good shot. Plenty of shot variety and really good views tee to green. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the course. We paid about $40 with an online deal which was a great price. The rack rate is $75 which I think is a little high - should be closer to $50. But we had a real good time, great staff service and good food in the clubhouse.y

A relatively challenging course that is well maintained. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. For the deal offered, this course is a must play.

Keep your driver in your bag on most of the holes. Provides you a nice chance to practice your woods and irons. Good Luck

Pace of play was great, good shape everywhere but some parts of the rough. Front nine is a lot shorter then the back, I'll play there again when I get a bargain through Golf Now.

For $25 through golfnow, this was a decent course. You wouldn't expect it, but water comes into play almost every hole. Course was wide open midday Friday.
