NICE APRIL DAY

Course was in decent early season shape except fpr bunkers which is understandable. The greens were great. Only complaint is that they seemed to have let people tee off on number 10 since when we made the turn there were a couple new groups that appeared on the course and slowed us down. It is a disservice to your customers who have played the front nine at a decent pace to all of a sudden throw 2 or 3 extra groups in front by letting them tee off on back nine.

$10k hole in one

Awesome course to play. Plenty of elevation change and dog legs. It’s March so of course the course is soft and the greens aren’t able to be rolled but if your a true golfer and understand this...the course is open and the best one available to play. $5 to win $10k for the hole in one and $10 to win $20k and only 154 yards.

Always fun

Lincoln Oaks is always a good time. This fairly short layout has a ton of character. The par 3’s can be really difficult

Mighty Oak course

Aside from all the acorns on the ground, because of the Oaks, the course is in great shape. Even after all the rain last weekend. Mark, Bobby, and the rest of the staff at Lincoln Oaks are great people, and very friendly and helpful.

Slow Play

Very nice coarse but it took almost 3 hours for two people to do nine holes. We decided not to do the back nine due to time.

Lincoln Oaks - Nice relaxing course

What course gives you a free small bucket of balls? Nice relaxed area surrounded by homes and streets. Course was in good shape for early fall. No complaints or issues. Teed off around 12:30 pm and was done in 3 hours . . . a relaxing day. Sand traps could use some more sand in spots, but greens were in good shape and the ball will roll on fairways as they are cut close. I always enjoy playing this course. It has a few small water hazards to keep you on your toes, but I mange to dodge most of them as the course is forgiving on many holes, so you can recover without penalty, unless you land in some trees.

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
