I’ve played here several times and never expected much but recently played again and I won’t be back. They have a lot of nerve charging close to 50$ for 18 with greens and fairways like this. There was trash all over the fairways and sand traps, and even saw a stray dog running around on the course. The bunkers were over grown and the greens were all burnt.

Last year this course was taken care of so well and it became a favorite spot for me and buddies to meet up and play and we would play 27 to 36 holes each time because we liked the course so much. This year though they have had some understanding flood damage to a few wholes but to be August and the greens look worse then right after winter and fairways not cut well its a disappointing way to spend 32 bucks

Staff is great. Course is in pretty good condition for what it is. Good beginner course. Not super busy

I asked my daughter how many stars we should give Lincoln Country Club & she said Fore (4) its golf. They have wonderful programs for our children ages 7-17. Did you know that if your child gets free or reduced meals through theyre school that its an automatic $5 for their classes. The mentors teaches more than just golf too! Theres also a homework & hitting class. I highly recommend that as a parent you check out their programs whether it costs $5 or $90 its worth it! So what are you waiting for????

Im not exaggerating when I say this is the worst course Ive ever played. Id rather set my money on fire than ever pay to play that course again. The lady in the shop was really nice.

Dont care about course condition when its end of season and you get a free 9. Would give 10 stars if I could

Most fairways were good, they were able to keep up with the draught. Two back fairways under reconstruction

Terrible shape, greens burnt up and cracked from no wayer. Sand traps full of weeds.

Absolutely the worst greens in west Mi.

Not well taken care of this year. I know they likely struggled due to covid and flooding at beginning of year. Traps have not been cleaned or raked all year. Does not appear to be watering.

Our family had a surprise 90th birthday party for my Aunt Jacques at the country club last night. The theme was a roaring 20s dance party, and it was a ROARING SUCCESS. The staff and crew did an outstanding job taking care of all the set up, decorating, catering, serving cake, cleaning up etc..they took good care of over 100 people. I have to give the bartender, CELIA, a top 5 star rating...I would do a 10 star if i could. She was dressed up for the party, made sure we were all taken care of, and was really delightful the whole night. I came from Dallas for this party, and i can say this was one of the greatest parties Ive ever attended. Everything was a great success.

The service here is GREAT! We had a group outing here and wanted to do golf, bowling, and billiards. The staff opened up a couple bowling lanes for us after we golfed even though the bowling alley wasnt actually open and were more than accommodating on food/drinks/service.

Review №17

Service isnt the best if youre trying to call ahead for a tee time. The course is average, but good for a cheap course. Bring extra gold balls though because there are lots of spots to lose some easily. Long grass in the rough and a few water hazards as well. Course is well maintained though.

Review №22

Way overpriced. My wife and I took our 2 kids and we bowled one game and it came to $50. Are you kidding me? Most expensive place in GR. We won’t be back!

Review №23

The course was in terrible shape, and no one was even in the pro shop to pay. Had to go back to the bowling alley counter to find anyone. And then $14 to walk 9? No thanks. I wouldnt pay $10 to go back. Greens were super patchy, and the grass was long, fairways were hard to actually see where they started and ended. Not impressed

Love that they support kids through The First Tees programs. Awesome place for kids to learn about and thru golf. Nice track to play and already open this spring for walkers!

A friend of mine and i were in town for business, and snuck in a round. Course is great for the price. Rental clubs are a bit of a mess, but what do you expect, really. I would certainly play again.

Celia was the best server I’ve ever had. With over 30 lanes she was able to maintain great service to all people, being the only server on. My drink was never empty and my stomach was always full. She was fun and personable, and I could never have asked for a better server. She is charming and good looking and knows how to treat customers.

Review №31

Cheap golf, decent course but prepare to wait. Theres no rhyme or reason behind how the do tee times or put people out onto the course. Ive golfed the front nine before with no waiting, then made the turn only to find three, yes THREE foursomes starting on the back nine. Good place to golf if you want to drink some beer and play golf with some friends.

Review №32

20 bucks to play 9 holes on golfnow app. Cant beat that! Lincoln isnt the best course around by any means, but if your looking to fit in a quick cheap 9 or 18 they always have open tee times on golfnow.

We were looking for a Venue for our wedding and they are great. Audrey was so helpful and polite. The prices are extremely reasonable. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous. We did book the presidential room and we are so excited to be working with them. My fiance and I would recommend to everyone!

Review №39

Saturday nights are packed but getting a lane is quick and easy. The lanes are very well oiled (you can feel a thick layer of grease on the ball as it comes up the chute), which makes your curve shots very easy to manipulate. Nothing better than grabbing a pitcher with friends and knocking some pins!

Review №40

Made some good memories with my dad and my church, but the course itself was honestly pathetic. It took us on average about 10 minutes to find our ball, even if it was hit straight. The grass was bumpy and very patchy, leaves were all over the place and impaired our ability to find the ball. It made what should have been a relaxing excursion into a hassle once a week.

Review №43

So this course is priced very well for what youre getting. There isnt always a staff member immediately ready in the clubhouse, the course is not hard, and the quality of the course can degrade a bit. That being said its a golf course and not a ton of money to play. For what it is, and with tame expectations, this place can be considered great.

Review №44

Played 18 2 weeks ago on Sunday for $25 for 18 and 1/2 cart, plus a senior rate for 1. Today it was $30 with no weekend senior rates. Also a 20oz pop is a ridiculous $3.49. 2 greens had mole mounds running under them. Fairways, fringe and greens were cut well and it was well watered. Course is better than it has been I the past few year but seems over priced.

Review №45

Pretty beat up course. Service is friendly but the whole course is in bad shape.

Ke
Review №46

The course is in decent shape, but the greens are really slow, but they need to be because most of the greens are the size of postage stamps. The Proshop was closed at 5 but decided to have somebody man it at 7 at the dirtball course and ended up having to pay where you pay for bowling. Went to the bar to buy beer where I waited while the bartender shot the breeze with a regular only to be told I had to buy beer for golf back at the bowling counter. I didnt feel like waiting in line again.Overall, there are many other better courses with better service for the money. Their fees are too high for the course.

Review №47

Not a bad golf course. Pretty decently maintained greens and an okay layout. The tee boxes were poorly maintained along with some of the cart paths. Im not a huge fan of it being so close to roads and houses. No place to buy tees or golf balls I will probably not return.

Review №48

Im not a pro or even claim to be. But I like the fact that its so cheap to play here annually. Latest deal is 9 bucks a week for 8 weeks which includes a cart. So good!This isnt the best looking greens, Ive seen better elsewhere. But I cant pass up the cost.

Went for bowling and drinks tonight. There was one bartender. She ended up very frustrated and super overwhelmed. The service here was awful. They definitely need more people and people willing to be helpful. Id recommend a different bowling alley and bar.

Review №57

I honestly really do appreciate this course for the price. I enjoy golfing there. However, every single time I go there I have to wait in the pro shop or go looking for someone to help in the pro shop. The pro shop service is getting to the point that I will not return again unless it is improved, it is incredibly frustrating, I hope that this gets read and taken seriously.

Review №58

Horrible service, on a league here for years, this years the worse, we’re standing at the bar yelling “hello”!!! No one to be seen, they even locked the door on us several weeks. We have 25 guys on our league, $8k a year and we have to beg for a pitcher. Won’t be returning next year. Putting greens are brown and you need a kidney belt to ride a cart here. The place needs to be turned into condos

Abby and Maleah are Amazing! We had our wedding and reception at Lincoln! Maleah made sure every detail was covered and perfect! I have planned many weddings and Maleah is the best I have ever worked with! The food was perfect! Many guest came to us and said it was the best wedding food they ever had! If you are looking for a venue look no further! This is the place to go!

Review №61

If I could give this place negative stars I would. The older man working the front was a total jerk and the prices were a total ripoff. I dont golf much so I was going to use my friends clubs but apparently at this course that isnt allowed so I had to rent clubs. The clubs that I rented, I came to realize, didnt have a putter in them so I ended up using his anyway. As for the course itself, Im not sure if they understand the concept of watering the course because the ground was harder than a pubescent boy in a whorehouse. You could hardly tell the difference between the fairway and the rough. Overall this was the worst golfing experience Ive ever had and I will not be returning.

Review №62

Worst golfing experience in 20 years. I wouldnt golf here for free.First, they wouldnt honor their own coupon...next they said the green fees on their website were wrong and charged me more. ($40 for 2 18s and a cart).Next, after each hole we needed to review the map to know where the next hole was. There is no clear direction for this. No cart paths whatsoever.The fairways were so hard and bumpy that we couldnt go faster than a brisk walking speed and even then are bags fell out of the cart. TWICE!We couldnt even tell where the fairways ended and the normal grass began.We asked for a $5 each refund after only 9 holes (We paid for 18) and he said no. Manager offered me a voucher and I told him this was the worst golfing experience I ever had!Ill NEVER go back!

Review №63

Course is okay. .. the old guy who thinks this is a pro course is clueless. Two groups of 5 playing thats it and wont let them do 5somes. Literally no one else on the course. But did allow one of them to play shirtless. Just found out his name is don. Explains alot

Review №64

I have been here countless times over the years, mostly for bowling. Weve bowled on the weekends, open bowling and also been on a league a few times. Also good experiences, and friendly staff. The *only* bummer was that the bloody Mary wasnt amazing. But there are plenty other drinks to quench my thirst #whatsontap #yummydrinkmenu

Review №66

The staff working this course was unorganized, had poor customer service and had no conception of operating a parks and recreation business. The bar was unstaffed be had broken taps. A the clubhouse was understaffed and the staff working didnt even know how many carts our group needed. The course was poorly kept. The largest problem however was when the staff working came and stood with us on the green giving us a hard time about our group and our rate of play with no group behind us and the group ahead of us being the group creating the delay. The staff member was aggressive and combative and went through our belongings in the carts. He remained on the green and detracted from our annual outing. We were pleasant and professional and will not golf here again. It was a nice course and a beautiful day but the customer service dramatically took away from our experience.
