Aeration and green watering while we played.

What should have been a nice relaxing day was hampered by aeration of the greens mid-afternoon sometimes just before we played the holes. And the plugs were still on the green as we played. Putting, then, was worse than putting in the second cut. We just took a two if we couldn't get it in in one.

I understand watering but shouldn't it be timed so no one is playing the holes?

The tee boxes were extremely hard, and, overused., as if they hadn't changed locations in days.

And, playing behind a six-some was no fun either. The marshal was there but said nothing, We gave up and didn't finish the round.

I am sure this is a fine course when maintained. We just didn't find it so.

Beautiful Area

We have played this course for 13 years. We love the area of many nice houses that enhance the play.

They keep the course cut low for the older and for the newer players.

Great staff always helpful and accommodating.

Hot deal

Sold me on the hot deal for 13.49 for 18 with a cart. For the price, I'd definitely play it again. 1130 on a sunday, front 9 pace was good, back 9 was horrendous. Course was in really good shape for the price. Greens are in good shape and some are challenging. It's probably even worth the whole 30 bucks if you live in the area. Parking is across the road from clubhouse

If you haven't played this course because you think is far, it's really not. 394 runs at 60+mph so it's really only 10mins from i80. Haven't had time to eat there but seems like people really enjoy the eating area/bar. The small greens make you step up your accuracy. Overall much fun

Slow Play

It took 3 1/4 hrs. To play 9 holes. When I complained a gentleman went out on course, came back and said nothing could be done to speed up play. We left after 9 holes never to go back.

Can you not put every pin location on a Slope

I love this course. I travel from indiana to play it a few times a month with a good friend of mine. Love the fact they give you a free bucket of balls to warm up with on the range. Also, they have a nice putting green and short game area. It had rained the previous days so the course was wet but still in pretty good shape considering. Greens on the front were rolling slower than the back 9 but the greens were very nice and rolling true. Only complaint was the pin locations lol. The season is just starting and I feel as if every hole shouldn't be on a breaking down slope. Let the guys come out and make some birdies to get the confidence up. However I did birdie the $10,000 par 3 15th so the superintendent isn't all that bad lol.

First time at course

Got a great deal on GolfNow so I drove out to get 18 in. Pretty empty when I arrived. Was supposed to be teamed up with others, but they let me go on my own. I didn't know where the first tee was and there was no signage, so I went back into the ProShop and asked. They told me and warned me about the greens being small. They were correct and the advice helped. Interesting older course winding through an older neighborhood in Crete. A bit out of the way, but I liked this course more than others that I've played in the area. Balmoral Woods is the other course near here that I really enjoyed.

Lincoln Oaks Golf Course a Diamond in the Rough

Lincoln Oaks GC was in very good shape considering the amount of rain the area has received. The Pace of Play was also very good only waits were at the par 3's. Stuck around for Masters Finals and staff were Great, with Attention and Friendliness at the top of their list. I have played this course before and have to admit, I should come here more often.
