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.

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.

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.
