Lincoln Oaks Golf Course

About Lincoln Oaks Golf Course

This solid municipal track in Crete delivers honest golf without pretense, earning its 4.4-star rating through consistent conditions and walker-friendly policies that are increasingly rare in Chicagoland. The layout works well for the walking golfer, with sensible transitions between holes and enough variety to keep your round interesting without beating you up. What sets Lincoln Oaks apart from other suburban public courses is its commitment to maintaining playable conditions year-round while keeping green fees reasonable. The course attracts a loyal following of locals who appreciate being able to walk 18 holes at their own pace, something that's becoming a luxury at many area courses. While it won't challenge scratch players the way some of the region's marquee tracks do, Lincoln Oaks provides exactly what most golfers want: fair lies, decent greens, and a round that moves along without unnecessary gimmicks or forced carries that punish average players.
