Lincoln Oaks Golf Course

3.75 stars....my first time at this 1927 Bendelow....really neat old school good bones routing through a pretty neighborhood with small greens. Prox them and you have a good birdie chance....miss them and you chip/one putt paying close attention to the slopes. Tees/Fairways/Greens are in really decent shape - sand traps are also okay but could be hit or miss....overall very well maintained.

Short but challenging enough from the tips at 6200 this track contains a really unusual front nine - 4 par 5's and 3 par 3's - 37 out (1st and 2nd are the only par 4's). All of the Par 5's play long - Bendelow knew what he was doing with the topography.

Functional old clubhouse with a cool bar area. No lockers/showers. Good beverage prices. Water jugs on course and pleasant nurse service. Grass range. $1 for a small bucket of about 20-25 balls to warm up with - that's absolutely perfect and wish more courses would do this.

We had a stellar weather day ruined by a 40 player shot gun scramble scheduled at 10am on Saturday. The outing took over 6 hours. One of the longest rounds I've ever experienced. Needless to say the course won't be allowing these idiots who work for a logistics company to return despite the ranger/starters/management extreme efforts to get them to play at even a remotely reasonable pace. Pretty incredible if you ask me - a scramble....and one of the groups I watched while I waited triple bogied a par 4 with no penalty stokes! Observed two carts with players actually tip over. They also had a couple of their own gals driving all over course feeding them beers which I don't think the course even knew about.

It was extremely thoughtful of management to invite us back to play the course again on their dime.....and we will very much look forward to doing so later this season. Lincoln Oaks really is an incredible old school value if you enjoy the history of the game....note my "free" return has absolutely no influence on my comments about the facilities and course. With proper pace of play a wonderful walk of hills and dales.

Highly recommend and worth a visit at least once or twice a season.

I enjoy the layout of the course and the friendliness of the staff. I did play with two great gentleman and we enjoyed most of the round.

Nice course. Four par 5s on the front 9 really give you a good challenge. Not a lot of water and plenty of open fairways. Greens in decent shape for the beginning of the year but I can see how challenging they'll be when they are faster.

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.

This is definitely a good course and one of the best values for golf.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This course has always been in great shape. Even after bad weather.

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.
