Worth the long drive to Crete

It was a long drive from Carol Stream to Crete to play this course, but the great rate at noon made it worth our trip. The pace of play was slow on the front nine, but the fivesome two groups in front of us only played nine. Liked the layout of the course and we had a chance to meet the owner in the clubhouse afterwards.

ALWAYS FUN AT LINCOLN OAKS

Always a pleasure to play at Lincoln Oaks. People who play here simply love golf. Nothing fancy about their love for the game. But it starts at ownership....and Mark loves the game. My only concern is that I wish some of the tee boxes were fixed more often. It can sometimes be difficult to find a good setup. Course layout is great. Not a fun course when it rains 🙁. The free range balls make up for any shortcomings.

Relax

The course was in pretty good condition considering all the rain the area has had recently. Fairways and greens I real good shape. I just never understand why other players are always in such a rush and will it up on you maybe to force you to allow them to play through. I always thought this was a time to relax and enjoy a few hours away for the everyday life things

First Visit

Played Lincoln Oaks for first time today. Course fairways and rough was very well taken care of. Greens could use a little more TLC but were in good shape, they were a little smaller than I expected though. Staff was phenomenal and very friendly. Only complaint was pace of play...it was brutal. Tee time was 10:30am and walked off 18th green at around 330pm. Will say however, that the starter warned us that the pace may be slower as a result of a couple foursomes ahead were playing slow. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be returning.

Great value

Course was green and in great shape. Four jamokes in front of us took their time on the tee box to duff it 120 yards. But for $48 on a Sunday morning, everyone in the group agreed we will return. The friendly bartender also made the 19th hole enjoyable.

Great course, slowest pace of play ever

Every tee box was backed up significantly. The round took over 5 hours to finish, which made the experience much worse. The course was great, but they booked too many tee times. By the time we ended, there were about 8 or 9 carts backed up on hole 10 which was ridiculous. Not sure if its a one time thing or this is the norm there, I still had a good time there though.
