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

Disappointed

They need to fire the starter and greens keeper. The starter let a fivesome go off in front of us. Three were walking two were riding, he said they were members and played every Sunday and were extremely good golfers and played fast. We tried talking to him to let us go ahead of them knowing we would not slow them down anyways our usual 3.5 hour round was 4 that day and I’ll leave that alone. Whoever their greens keeper is does not know how to cut a hole on the greens, you can see where the previous five to seven holes had been cut on each green it was terrible putting through this, plus where the last two holes were cut there was so much dirt left behind we cleaned them before putting. Course was in the worst shape I’ve seen in a long time will not be going back.

Great course

Haven't played there in a couple years, and it's still as great now. The course was well maintained, and the staff were as friendly as before. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to play. Sure liked getting a chance to play there again.

South side gem

As usual, the course was in good shape. Clubhouse was clean. Staff was friendly and polite. Mark Haines has always done a good job on the upkeep of the course. Never disappointed when I play there.
