Welcome—Let’s Explore This Together
You want a place that feels bright, warm, and easy to enjoy. A place where golf is fun, not stressful. A place where families gather, friends meet, and days move in a smooth rhythm. In other words, you want more than a course. You want a community. Lincolnshire Fields Country Club offers that feeling. It blends golf, dining, fitness, racquet sports, and social events in one friendly space. But most of all, it gives you time back. Time to play. Time to talk. Time to breathe.
This is our simple, step-by-step guide. We’ll walk through the golf experience, practice areas, lessons, courts, pool, dining, events, and membership basics. We’ll talk about etiquette in plain words. We’ll share easy tips for your first visit. And we’ll keep the tone calm, optimistic, and clear. Ready? Let’s begin.
The Heart of the Club—More Than Just 18 Holes
A good club is built on service and spirit. It welcomes you at the door. It knows your name after more than one visit. You feel it in the pro shop, the grill, and on the first tee. The team smiles. The course looks cared for. The greens roll true. You can show up stressed and leave lighter. That is the goal.
Instead of rushing from place to place, you park once and settle in. Golf in the morning. Lunch on the patio. A quick dip with the kids. A casual match on the courts. Then home with a happy glow. Simple days like this add up. They turn a club into a second home.
Course Style—Fair, Fun, and Full of Character
Every course has a story. At Lincolnshire Fields, the story feels like this: smart design that rewards good choices, gentle beauty that never gets old, and greens that ask for a steady touch. You do not need to crush the ball to score. You need rhythm. You need a plan. You need to breathe and commit.
What you can expect on many holes
- Inviting tee shots: Enough room to swing with confidence. Still, placement matters.
- Thoughtful approach shots: Greens that receive a well-struck ball, but punish a miss to the wrong side.
- Short-game variety: Bunkers, run-offs, and tight lies that test your touch.
- True-rolling greens: Putts that reward pace and line. Focus and calm help here.
A simple plan for your first round
- Choose the right tees. Pride can wait.
- Aim for the widest side of the fairway.
- Play to the safe half of the green.
- Take your medicine if you’re out of position.
- Keep your mind quiet. Enjoy the walk.
You will find that a steady bogey can turn into a steady par when you stay patient. In other words, plan your shots, not your heroics.
Practice Made Friendly—Range, Greens, and Wedge Work
Good golf grows in small pockets of practice. Fifteen minutes before a round can change your day. Many members follow a simple flow:
- Range warm-up: Start with a wedge. Then a mid-iron. Then a few drivers. Keep swings smooth.
- Short-game area: Chip from three lies—fairway, light rough, and sand. Land the ball on a spot, not at the hole.
- Putting green: Roll ten putts from three to five feet. Then roll a few long ones for speed.
This is not about grinding. It’s about waking up your feel. It’s about breathing and building tempo. After more than a few sessions, you will see the change on the course.
Coaching and Clinics—Learn in a Calm, Clear Way
Lessons here feel welcoming. No jargon. No rush. Just steady progress. You can book one-on-one time to fix a slice, add distance, or tune your putting stroke. You can join a clinic to learn with friends. Many players enjoy a short series: one session for set-up, one for irons and wedges, one for driver and fairway woods, and one for short game. After more than a month, your swing will feel simpler. Your plan will feel sharper.
A helpful lesson checklist
- Bring your current clubs and wear your golf shoes.
- Warm up with short swings before the lesson.
- Record a key cue in your phone afterward. One cue only.
- Practice that cue for 15 minutes, three times a week.
Small steps stack up. That is how you change for good.
Racquet Sports—Tennis and Pickleball for All Ages
Great clubs offer more than golf. Courts bring energy and laughter. They also give you a fast workout in a short time. Expect a mix of open play, socials, and clinics for all levels. Beginners are welcome. Advanced players find solid matches. Kids find quick success. The scoring is simple. The vibe is kind.
A smooth path to start
- Borrow a demo racquet or paddle. Try before you buy.
- Begin with a 60-minute clinic. Learn footwork and safe swings.
- Join one open-play night to meet partners.
- Set one standing match each week. Routine beats willpower.
You will get fitter without thinking about “working out.” You’ll just be playing.
Pool and Aquatics—Cool Water, Warm Community
The pool is a summer magnet. Families gather. Friends chat under umbrellas. Laps in the morning. Free swim in the afternoon. A few clubs host water-aerobics or stroke clinics. Even short sessions help joints and mood. The best part is simple: you feel refreshed and connected after a pool day.
Pool-day tip: Pack a simple tote—sunscreen, hat, refillable bottle, and a light cover-up. Keep it ready by the door so you can say “yes” to a quick swim anytime.
Fitness—Strength, Balance, and Daily Energy
A well-equipped fitness space supports golf and life. You will likely find cardio machines, free weights, bands, mats, and space for stretching. Aim for three short workouts each week.
A golfer’s simple routine (25–30 minutes)
- 5 minutes easy cardio to warm up
- 3 sets of 8–10 reps: goblet squats, rows, and hip hinges
- 3 sets each side: step-ups and side planks
- Finish with hip and shoulder mobility
This plan builds power and prevents aches. In other words, you play more golf and feel better doing it.
Dining—Good Food, Good Company, Easy Choices
Food at a club should feel like home, just easier. You’ll see a mix of comfort dishes, seasonal specials, and light, healthy plates. Lunch after a round. Dinner on the patio. A weekend brunch. A quick bite with the kids. Friendly service ties it together.
Smart ordering made simple
- Pick a lean protein and two veggies for lighter days.
- Enjoy the club favorite when you celebrate a round.
- Share dessert and share a smile. Life is balance.
Meals become moments. You slow down. You listen. You laugh. That is the joy of a clubhouse table.
Social Calendar—Events That Build Belonging
Clubs shine when the calendar feels alive. Expect golf events, racquet socials, holiday dinners, live music nights, trivia, tastings, and family-friendly gatherings. You do not have to say yes to everything. Pick a few that speak to you. After more than a month, you will know many faces. After a season, you will know many names.
A simple plan to plug in
- Choose one sports event per month.
- Choose one social night per month.
- Invite one new person to join you each time.
You’ll build a circle without forcing it.
Family Focus—Kids, Teens, and Grandkids
A strong club welcomes families with real options, not just a line in a brochure. Look for junior golf clinics, youth racquet programs, swim lessons, and themed nights for kids. These moments make memories. They also teach skills and confidence in a low-pressure way.
Pro tip for parents and grandparents
- Book lessons when energy is high—usually morning.
- Keep early sessions short and fun.
- Celebrate effort, not score.
- End with a treat at the grill. Smiles stick.
Weddings, Parties, and Special Days
Clubs often host life’s big moments. Think weddings, milestone birthdays, retirements, and charity events. Ballrooms, patios, and scenic spots near the course give you flexible backdrops. The on-site team helps with menus, layouts, and timelines. You bring the vision. They bring the calm. Together, you create a day that feels easy and elegant.
Event planning tip
- Start with your must-have three: guest count, season, and budget range.
- Pick one focal point—dance floor, head table, or outdoor view.
- Build the rest around that anchor.
Membership Basics—Clarity, Fit, and Value
Membership should feel simple and fair. Every club structures it a bit differently, but you’ll often see these categories:
- Full Golf: Unlimited golf with full access to facilities and events.
- Young Professional or Junior Golf: A lower rate for members under a certain age.
- Racquet or Sports: Courts, fitness, pool, and social, with limited or no golf.
- Social: Dining, events, and often the pool.
A clean way to compare
- List the things you’ll use weekly: golf, courts, pool, fitness, dining.
- Note your household’s schedule—work, school, travel, seasons.
- Estimate how many rounds or visits you will make each month.
- Match the plan to your real use, not your wish list.
Fit matters more than features. If the plan matches your life, it’s a win.
Pace of Play and Etiquette—Friendly and Fast
A relaxed round still moves along. Here’s the easy formula.
- Be ready when it’s your turn. Club chosen. Plan set.
- Watch each other’s shots. Help find balls quickly.
- Play “ready golf” when safe. Short hitter first if the long hitter waits.
- Take one practice swing, not three.
- Mark scores on the next tee, not on the green.
Care for the course
- Fill divots. Fix ball marks. Rake bunkers smooth.
- Keep carts on paths near tees and greens.
- Follow signs and staff guidance.
Kindness shows up in small acts. Say “nice shot.” Offer to pull the flag. Keep the group’s energy calm. Good etiquette makes friends of strangers.
Dress, Guests, and Simple Rules—No Guesswork
Every club has guidelines to keep things comfortable.
- Dress: Collared shirts or neat golf tops. Proper shorts, pants, or skirts. Court shoes on courts. Swim attire only at the pool.
- Guests: Ask about limits and booking windows. A quick heads-up to the pro shop helps everyone.
- Phones: Keep calls short and soft. Step aside if you must talk.
When in doubt, ask. Teams are happy to help. Clear rules protect the easy, welcoming feel we all enjoy.
Seasonal Rhythm—How the Club Changes Through the Year
Spring: Course wakes up. Greens firm up. Leagues begin. Energy rises.
Summer: Peak golf, pool days, junior camps, and long evenings on the patio.
Fall: Golden light, crisp air, and favorite events. Many say it’s the best golf of the year.
Winter: Fitness, indoor clinics, social dinners, and planning your goals for next season.
Each season brings its own joy. Together, they create a full, steady year.
Your First Visit—A Calm, Step-by-Step Plan
- Call ahead: Book a tour or a tee time with the pro shop.
- Arrive early: 20–30 minutes gives you time to breathe and enjoy the space.
- Warm up lightly: Ten balls on the range. A few chips. Five short putts.
- Meet the team: Learn a name at the pro shop and one on the patio. Use those names.
- Try the grill: Share an appetizer and ask about member favorites.
- Walk the spaces: Courts, pool, dining, and a view of a signature hole.
- Note your feelings: Did you relax? Did people smile back? Trust that read.
A Simple Golf Improvement Plan (Eight Weeks)
Weeks 1–2: Grip, posture, and alignment. Make the set-up automatic.
Weeks 3–4: Contact with irons and wedges. Hit small, crisp shots.
Weeks 5–6: Driver rhythm and balance. Smooth to the top. Smooth through.
Weeks 7–8: Short game and putting. Up-and-down from simple lies. Lag putts inside three feet.
Play nine holes each week if you can. Keep one stat only: putts per hole. You will see progress where it counts—on the card and in your calm.
Community Spirit—Small Acts, Big Warmth
Great clubs feel like villages. People hold doors. They pick up a tee you dropped. They wave you through on a par-3 when you’re waiting on the tee. Staff jump in to help without fuss. Members volunteer for junior days and charity outings. These are the threads that make a strong fabric.
You can be part of that spirit on day one:
- Learn two names and use them.
- Compliment one person on a shot or a hat.
- Leave a space cleaner than you found it.
Simple. Powerful. Lasting.

Sunlit Fairways, Open Doors, and Easy Smiles
A good club is more than greens and flags. It’s the quiet on the tee when you draw back the club. It’s the soft thump of a pure iron. It’s laughter on the patio and a wave from the starter. It’s your kid’s first par. It’s a friendly match on the courts and a calm swim at dusk. Most of all, it’s the feeling you carry home—a lightness in your step and a story to share at dinner.
Lincolnshire Fields Country Club aims for that feeling every day. Fair golf. Honest service. Bright spaces. Kind people. If that sounds like the life you want, lean in. Try a round. Try a class. Try a meal. Let the rhythm of this place show you what a club can be.
When you’re ready, we’re ready. Fresh tees. Clear greens. And a community that plays, learns, and celebrates—together.
