About Lincoln Country Club
Lincoln Country Club sits in the piedmont region of North Carolina and plays as two distinct nine-hole layouts. The front nine, designed by Peter Tufts and opened in 1993, features narrow, tree-lined fairways with water coming into play on three holes.
The back nine dates to 1948 and is considerably more open, leaving it exposed to the wind. Small greens throughout the course place a premium on club selection, and water returns on the 17th and 18th for a demanding finish.
