It is good golf course we love.

Price is reasonable although course condition is wet. Courses are with many hills and up/downs. Courses are not easy to play.

A little mushy

Course was wet due to the recent rains. It was still nice to be able to 90degree use carts. Greens were in good condition for this late in fall. Never have a bad experience at Lincoln Oaks.

Extremely wet and soft

Due to snow earlier in the week. Temp in the low 50's made it tolerable for early December.

Great course

Started golfing here a couple months ago. It is now one of my favorite places to golf. Beautiful course! Outdoor driving range to warm up or practice before a game. A few holes are challenging but not intimidating. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Drink cart was available multiple times during our round. Love that there was good food available after playing.
