Fun course and great staff!

We have golfed at Lincoln Oaks several times. The course itself has some nice elevation changes and it is well maintained. (I appreciate the always clean port a potty.) On Sundays the pass does slow done but still a good flow. The staff is always pleasant and attentive. Overall- great value and fun course.

Slooow Play

Everything was perfect except the pace of play, which was ridiculously slow. After 16 holes, we quite because the 4 some in front of us was playing at a 5 hour clip. In fairness, they were elderly (we were told one of the 4 was 95 years old), but if you can't move faster, let the group behind you go through.

good course for the money

Lincoln Oaks is a nice course that is kept up fairly well . playing from the whites for a 17 handicap is perfect . If you want it more challenging, the back tees would do just that
