Still needs work

At least it looks like they’re trying. Tee boxes still in bad shape and some of the greens (17 in particular) had some bald spots. The fairways on my 2 favorite holes, 14 and 15 need mowing. Couldn’t tell the fairway from the rough. Haven’t been here in a while and it was better than the last time I played here, but I think I’ll wait a few years before returning. Just a suggestion, but I think you should have some hot dogs ready at the turn so you don’t have to wait 10 minutes and hold things up.

Awesome Course

Wish I could play here all the time. Great Donald Ross design so better be careful around the greens. Good variety of holes and excellent routing. Course was in decent condition considering the circumstances this year. Just a shame they had to build an interstate along the northern boundary. Can’t wait to play it again. Wish we could have hung around for a beer afterwards.

Nice Course

Course is in decent condition other than the tee boxes. They seem to be pretty chewed up. It would also be nice if people repaired their ball marks. Overall, a good course with a variety of holes for a 9 holer. Nice place for a quick nine after work.

Nice Course

Course was in great shape, other than a couple tee boxes. Staff was very friendly on a busy day. Played 18 in about 4.5 hours on a Sunday. No complaints at all.

Decent Course

Hard to judge due to recently opening up and a very soggy course due to rain the day before. Tee boxes were OK but greens were good. In between was messy with high rough and wet fairways. I'm sure with a little more time to work on conditions and drier weather, course will be just fine. Good option for a quick challenging nine.

Great Value

Always enjoy playing Deer Creek. Course was in great shape other than being soggy from rain the previous night. Greens were excellent. Will be back.

Short but tough

Not long, but plenty of trouble. Especially the greenside bunkers. Go long because you don't want to get hung up in the long grass. Course in very good shape and well worth the Golfnow price.

Nice Course

Played the Blue and it needs a little attention. Lots of sticks and small branches on several holes, especially the 10th. Routing a little confusing with some Gold holes interspersed with the Blue. Somewhat challenging, but short and not a lot of water or bunkers.
Golfnow price was $33 (18% savings?) but was told it was really only $30. Well worth the money though.

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

Hadn't played here in a few years and glad I went back. Pace on front was slow due to outing but picked up on the back. Not a real tough course, but still a bit challenging. Conditions very nice. Be back soon.

Hit 'em straight

Better find the fairway here or you're in trouble. If you do get into one of their "cabbage patches", take an unplayable cause you can't get out in one shot. Course was in great shape despite the lack of rain. Greens were rolling fine and bunkers actually had sand in them.

Well worth it.

Course was in very good shape and seems to be well maintained. I stayed out of the bunkers so I can't say what kind of shape they were in. Good mix of holes and lots of doglegs. Not much water and not a hole lot of bunkers so you can score. Greens rolled real well except #9. Worth the golfnow price.

Good scoring course

Not much trouble to be found off the tee, and with the good conditioning of fairways & greens, you can go low. Bunkers seem to be mostly dirt though, not sand. For the money, it was a worth playing.

Love the 15th.

Not the greatest, but a good value. Needs a lot a maintenance; lots of standing water and bare spots. They do seem to be doing more work on it now than in previous years. Some good holes (and some not so good holes). Greens are in good shape.

Front is a little too short, but back makes up for it with the doglegs & the hilliness.

Very nice little course and in good condition despite the lack of rain this summer. Short but challenging and I really like the back nine, especially the par three 12th. Girls in the shop could have been a bit more friendly. I got the feeling they didn't really want to be working the day we played.
