Better course management

I enjoy Lincoln Oaks. Nice course, nice layout, friendly staff. They also run some great Hot Deals! Only issue is pace of play is BRUTAL. Takes WAY TOO LONG to play 18 because there's no marshall keeping an eye on it. People at this course are horrible about keeping faster players play through and the clubhouse gives priority to leagues at the turn. It took nearly forty minutes to make the turn. Unacceptable. Love the course and price though so I'll be back.

Fun course, pace problems

I've played here a couple times now. I like the course, good challenges, fun to play. However, both times I've played pace of play has been an issue. They have a marshall who manages the starts but then nobody monitor pace anywhere else and it's a problem. My last outing I took someone who had never played this course and hyped up the course but then we watched as groups literally shouted obscenities at each other, threatened violence and nothing was done. The entire argument and near altercation was about pace of play. If they can get a grip on pace this course would easily be my favorite even though it's a good forty plus minute drive for me. But pace is absolutely a problem.

Last time I played there, they mixed public and league and they let league players go in front of public at the turn. I waited FORTY MINUTES to make the turn because three foursomes were given a green light ahead of me. There's no excuse for that.

Nice public course

This is a nice public course, good for a practice round. The staff was very nice and the course was in decent condition for a public course. I thought it was a good value for the price. The course is normally very crowded and it takes over 4.5 hours to play. Lots of leagues and outings.

Great track in the far south suburbs

I have played a few courses in this area , but this was the gem of far south suburbs . Rolling terrain , nicely cut fairways , rough cut to give you a fair shot out of , and the greens , small and sloped , but cut and rolled well.

Nice Course - Slow Pace

Course has a nice layout and kept up well...pace of play was bad. Teaching kids during peak play time shouldn’t be allowed. Starter was MIA

South side gem

The course overall is in good shape. Although, I've noticed some brown patches on numerous fairways and greens. Possibly because of the hot weather. At any rate, it's a challenge to navigate the course, and score well.

Penalized on added cart fee after booking online w-cart

I booked on Golf Now for 18 holes with a cart. When I arrived I was added to a 3-some. One golfer wanted to ride alone and paid an extra $10 to do so. I was then told I'd have to pay an extra $10 to have a cart, due to the other gentleman's choice of a single cart. I thought this was inappropriate since I had already paid for golf an a cart online, therefore double paying for a cart. I feel this was unfair and in breach of of the agreement.
