Good bang for your buck

Tee times during the afternoon on weekdays are only $15 with a cart. The overall conditions are decent with a nice layout through a subdivision.

Nice course

staff very friendly course was in good condition for this time of year group in front of us was playing cart path only when it was 90 degree I told them to speed them up then they drove on the fairway for the par threes parked the cart in front of the green they should have left us playthrough we were waiting all the time LEARN some golf etiquette don't pull in front of the green especially on a par 3 and pull up as close to the next hole as you can

Great staff, meh course

My dad and I went golfing two days after it rained and the course was still full of water. the course is poorly maintained compared to other courses in the area. Don't go in the fall unless you want to never find your ball among the leaves or water spots. Will probably never play here again unless it is the dead of summer after a 2-week drought.

Your round was purchased thru Golfnow and funds paid to them. We do not take prepaid rounds. Contact Golfnow and inform them you were rained out. Lincoln Oaks has the areas greatest rain policy. Do not finish 9 holes you get voucher back to play 18 Good anytime. Play 10 or more holes we give you voucher for nine holes! When booking and paying thru golf now you are getting a trade round and they receive your money. We do not get one penny of that. Contact Mark Haines at 708 372 2704 and I will make sure Golfnow gets you your money back. Most golfers that Pre pay thru Golfnow do not realize that it is a trade time and Lincoln Iaks does not receive any of your payment. Just wanted to clarify what you need to do and the 1 rating is unjustified. Good luck and look forward to clarifying and helping.
