Lincoln Country Club has a scenic landscape of hardwood forests and meandering creeks. Although it might not seem like anything special on first glance, the golf course is actually one of the area's hidden gems. The traditional design has a surprisingly formidable test. The challenging golf course has a front nine with tree-lined fairways and small greens that demand accuracy. While the back nine is more open, it's no less challenging. Shot placement will still be an important factor when maneuvering the greens. Ponds and creeks come into play throughout and there are strategically placed bunkers lurking along many of the greensides. The Lincoln Country Club golf course finishes with a tough par 4 that demands an accurate tee shot with out-of-bounds on the right and a creek on the left. Don't underestimate the undulating green, it has seen many three-putts in its time.

Challenging Course in Great Shape

This is a very nice course. A beautiful area, challenging layout, and a course being in great condition made for a fun day. All aspects of the course are in great shape. Good cart paths, fairways like carpet and greens that were flawless. I will play again.

soggy day

We had a light rain all day, making it difficult to grip the club. Sand traps were too wet to play out of.

Private Club?

Pro shop employee not the friendliest. Cart path only and not sure why. Played with my 83 y/o father. Took him to his ball straight across the very wide fairway so he didn’t have to walk so far on his bad knee and was chastised by an employee for not being on the path. Course was dry, by the way. The layout was nice. Greens were smooth but not speedy at all. Couple tee boxes had no grass on them. Not sure if I’ll go back. Glad I got a good deal on GolfNow.

Well kept course

Fairways and roughs in good condition. Roughs were somewhat long. Sand traps were hard packed and wet. Greens rolled true, held the approach shot, and were somewhat slower than usual.

Fun Course

First time here. Course was fun to play. The shorter holes are defended well enough with trees and bunkers. The dog legs are all very sharp so no cutting corners. Scoring is easy enough if you just take what the course gives you. Greens were ok bunkers were hit and miss. Some dirt some sand. Overall a nice place
