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.

Awesome

My friend and I love this course. We aren’t the best players and this one suits our play styles. The tee offs allow you to really go for it because even when you miss you rarely find a bunch of trouble. Par 3’s are really fun here. Par 5’s are my favorite holes and this gives you 4 in the front 9 which is rare. Free bucket with your round is amazing. Location is very easy too access as it’s a straight shot from the city south on I 394.

Great price for decent course

Reasonably conditioned, but greens were inconsistent - speed difficult to gauge. Senior tees (gold) not accurate to the scorecard. Many just combined with the red forward tees (pet peeve!!)

Layout is fair, a couple interesting holes, but nothing special. Weird 6-6-6 configuration for par 3-4-5 holes - par 37/34. Small, old school greens. Yardages posted on the trees lining most fairways an interesting throw-back touch. Great “hot-off-the-grill” hot dogs, brats, burgers at very reasonable prices a nice amenity. The neighborhood around the course is a nice study in vintage, mostly post-war and mid-century housing architecture.

Super value HotDeal price of $12 impossible to beat nowadays.

Fun golf course but challenging too.

The really big feature would be the bucket of ball given for every tee time. This course is slowly becoming my home course. Also big ups to Freddy he's everybody guy for a reason.
