Solid course. Small greens, well maintained. Won’t lose many balls here; pretty open.

Great place to play

For the last weekend in December after rain the night before, the course wasn't bad. Carts had to stay on the path understandably.

Course needs improvement

I was excited to get an awesome Hot Deal price of $13 per man (plus fees). My golf buddy and I were excited to try a new course as this was our first time at Lincoln Oaks. Despite the great price, we were ultimately disappointed in the course conditions. The greens were terrible and some of the fairways were in terrible condition as well. I don't mean to beat up the course but my friend and I BOTH agreed that we would probably never return. If I had paid a full price rate I would have been upset. As they say, "fool me once . . . " I won't be fooled again. Play at your own risk.

Great condition, great price

Great course for the price. Limited water hazards allow for maximum risk/reward

Lincoln Oaks - Enjoyable and affordable

I have played this course many times annually and it is always a pleasure. Nice layout with some tough holes. The greens are always in great condition. It is affordable for the regular golfer and the kitchen is always open. I recommend Lincoln Oaks for golfers of all ages.

Labor Day

Played Labor Day @ 11:44, course crowded & pace of play was a little slow but understandable. Played with another couple and enjoyed the round.

A couple of the greens have bad spots on them and that's where the pin placements were.

Good course.

Rock Hard Concrete Conditions - bring your ground game

See my review of 5/5/18 for further details. This is a lovely 1927 Bendelow that winds through a neighborhood except the houses don't really come into play. A fun interesting routing two par 4's start but then your next par 4 is the 10th... it's as hard as a rock (hammer to get your tee in) and fairways are running so hard and fast you have to have a good ground game and know what side of the fairway to hit to because your ball will roll to the lower side of it. Greens suffer because of they've lost size over the years so bring your A up and down game. Greens were okay just not as fast as you're used to. A good value $35 is top rate (it's a $20-$25 course) and they give you a small bucket of range balls (for free!) to warm up with. In decent shape for what it is with a really nice old school feel. Friendly folks and decent beverage prices. Recommend for value and historic design.

Nice course but was paired with a twosome that was just starting to learn how to play, made the pace of play slower then usual. Other then that enjoyed the round.

Mother Nature

We played a nice crisp nine holes and then the sky's opened up and we were never able to finish the back nine cause of flooding. I hope to be able to play all 18 another time. Very nice layout.
