Lincoln Oaks
The course was nice but it was not very well marked so being the first time there it was a little challenging to find the next tee and to judge the distances from the fairway. Sll in all a very enjoyable day to play a round in a little over 3 hours in nice conditions
A diamond south of Chicago!
Enjoyed my first round of golf at Lincoln Oaks. As a newbie golfer and recent retiree I'm always looking for different golf venues to play and practice. This course was a good challenge. I'll definitely be back for a few more rounds this fall.
Great Place
First time golfing here. Will golf here in the future.
Will it ever not rain
Good course to score well on when it's not raining
Rain rain go away.....
It had rained a lot recently, so the course doesn't drain that well. Other then that it was the same experience it always is. Good course for the value.
Will be back!!!
This is a nice course that I will be back to play. Lots of elevation levels which is challenging. There really was only 1 bad green #9 needs work. Overall great price for your money. The staff was really welcoming and attentive. Played in 3 1/2 hours just 2 of us.
Course in great shape
Challenge of this course are the small greens. Many are significantly sloped. Speed is very important, as is accuracy on approaches
Five golfer group
We golfed as a pair. A single caught up with on on the second hole. We hooked up. Another single caught up with up and we also hooked up for a foursome. A group of five golfers, yes five were let out ahead of us. They had three carts and one was a walker. Starting on the fourth hole, we started to wait for them. I know on all the course I have golfed in the last ten years, no group of five were sent out. This should not have been done. We were constantly be held up with the five golfers plus slow play on their part.
Pace of play is slow
I have golfed here quite a few times because they have great deals on GolfNow. Pace of play is pretty slow, sometimes 3 groups deep per hole. The greens are in poor condition, with a lot of ball marks all over. Other than those two things, overall it's a decent course for a good deal. Cool neighborhood course in a mature, wooded area.
love this cource
i had play this cource many times , the cource & staff is allways excelent
Good Conditions and difficulty
Course was in fine condition. Has some challenging holes over water. I like thios course and was a great value on GolfNow.
Great
It is a very nicely kept course. the staff is very nice and helpful. I don't think you can beat the course for the price. I went 18 holes in three hours groups are very kind to let you play through. I love this little course
Fast Greens
Greens are Bermuda with sand base that are in the sun 100% of the time. Fast.
Fairways and rough are forgiving and relatively easy to hit out of.
Fast greens
Bermuda grass in the sun 100% of the time. Fairways are open and forgiving. expect to 2 -3 putt most holes.
Tough greens
Greens are short Bermuda grass on sand base, super fast. Anything outside of 10ft, expect to 2 putt. Shoot for flagstick as sand base will cause your ball your stick, especially this early in the season, and during wet conditions. I don't believe they will get any slower, even in the summer as they are 100% in the sun.. Fairways are open and rough is fairly easy to hit out of.
Great Value; $12 with cart and range balls
Great Value for all that is included!
Great course, Bob is very friendly behind the counter, as well as the rest of the staff.
Average course. Get a good deal
played here since i was a kid. Only go back for great deals. Short course with small tough greens. Dont hate it/dont love it
Outstanding Course
Had a wonderful day playing Lincoln Oaks. The greens ran great and very consistent. Fairways were freshly cut and the rough was very manageable. Enjoyed the tree line fairways. Pace of play was just over 4 hours for our group. The Lincoln Oaks Burger after the round was one of the best Burgers I have ever had. The course carried One Trick Pony Craft Beer and my IPA was really good. My group usually plays on Mondays and this was the first course that other golfers were actually hanging around the clubhouse after our round. This is a great public golf course with outstanding staff.
What Happened
This place was once a country club? What happened? Tee boxes were in poor shape, some greens were patched up, and fairways had plenty of bare spots . Not what I expected at all. Plenty of better courses in the area. Not even worth the hot deal price.
Sure you got the right course! In August we had great reviews from most golfers. As a public Family run course we take pride in Lincoln Oaks. Yes their were a view bent fairways that were patched due to the worst winter in 100 years. We worked extremely hard to get damaged area repaired. Bent fairways are tougher to maintain than blue grass. During August yours was our only bad rating. Maybe you work for one of my competitors.
Nice course
I had a wonderful round of golf. I really enjoyed the pace and the course is adequately maintained. Lots of friendly people and the staff is great.

The greens at Lincoln oaks are not bermuda. There isn't a course within 300 miles of chicago with bermuda greens. Are you sure this is the right course
