Played mid-morning tee time at the non-resident senior rate of $50 with cart. Joined a friend that I had reconnected with recently for an enjoyable round and conversation(s). Checking the GK reviews noted may last visit was 2018.
Tee'd off on time as a three-some and finished the front 9 quickly where the local resident dropped off and drove home. Total POP 4:10.
Sun City Lincoln was built as an over 55 community in the early 2000's it has 36 holes with the Orchard course the less reputed to the Hills.
Greens were great shape rolling medium speed with few ball marks or other blemishes.
Bunkers decent maintained with decent sand coverage.
Rough variable, what you'd expect.
On to the fairways and "dallis" grass which I mentioned to my buddy would be my theme of the review. The local mentioned it and defined it for us. I thought it was crabgrass but there is an annual and perennial distinction.
It is still prevalent in the fairways and is a nuisance especially the residents. The local rule in his men's group is free relief because it can cause injury. I don't take deep divots and we played the ball down. It has been there for a long time and doesn't appear to be an issue being addressed by maintenance.
The greens in good shape better than most in the area in this $ range.
Natural grass practice range also a plus. The bev cart was out making the loop.
It is a busy facility with many retirees in the community that allows for and has many residents using their own modified carts for play and transportation to and from the courses and to the local shopping. Many have license plates and higher speed modifications for this purpose. Many of the local area streets have cart lanes.
Fun and I'd do it again at the right time and rate. Did not visit the restaurant today, has been good when I have.
