Glenlakes Golf Club - Vista/Dunes Course

First off I’m not blaming them. It was HOT! Heat index over 100°, but it’s south Alabama in August. That’s usual. The greens were freshly punched and it affected play a lot! Golf courses have to maintain the greens so they are good the rest of the time. Staff was great. Value was good. Everything else was fine. I am gonna nick them a little on the fact that one 9 hole course was shut down and we had to play the other which is just not very challenging. In a month it’ll be in good normal shape.

The course was in great shape. We finished in just under 4 hours. Staff was very nice. I just wish there were more water stations on the course. I recommend playing Glenlakes GC.

Really enjoyed the course. The front line was exceptional course layout next time. I’m on vacation. I will play Glen Lakes.

The golf course is in excellent condition despite the very warm weather conditions. It is on the best shape that I have seen in recent years.

Great course to play. Greens were in great shape. Very friendly staff. Will definitely play there again.

Very fair. Greens in good shape. Fairways and rough pretty lush. A few tee boxes could use some help. Overall great day. Make sure you get the yardage book when checking in. Played Dunes / Vista

Great course, weather was tough because of the storm. Nevertheless, very good layout and fun course to play.

First time I have played this course in about 25 yrs. Fun layout. Some greens need attention but that’s a common battle in the region. We got the Hot Deal which made it worth while. I gave the price 3 stars based on the regular price which I would have been disappointed in. The amenities are what they are (average) but for $85 on a week day I would have expected the greens to be in better shape. The carts do not have gps.

Links style, with lots of mounds & difficult approach shots due to bunkering and several elevated greens. Wind also a major factor on this day, adding to the fun. Greens were ok, a little rough on 3 or 4 holes. Would be 5 stars once greens are back in top shape.

Look forward to playing again.

Mark, the Pro, was top notch. Very professional and made us feel welcome. Also, accommodated our a late arrival and got us off immediately after we arrived. Glen Lakes had a very good layout. The Tees, Fairways and Bunkers were in very good shape 4.5/5.

Unfortunately, the greens are old Bermuda 328 Tifgreen grass. Which at their best, roll 8/9 on the stimp-meter. Green conditions on 7/16/26 when I played: very small greens, most were fully covered in grass, and rolled okay. Several greens had bad spots within the putting surface. Overall, they were slow, very grainy and very bumpy. I would rate these 2.9/5.

If scoring and green speed aren't important to you, this is a fun course to play. But going low isn't a possibility. IMHO. If this course invested in new putting greens, such as Champions Bermuda, Mini-Verde, Tifeagle or Tifdwarf strain, the course could increase revenues and ribs played.

Glenlakes golf course was in excellent condition. Greens were in good shape, average speed. Front side (Dunes) a creative course with tight fairways and postage stamp size greens, very challenging, no matter which tees you choose. Back side (Vista) a little more open and a little less difficult, but still challenging as you still get to hit to small greens! And after golf, Lamberts Cafe is just up the street!!!

Awesome Course The Dunes links are very challenging

Only got to play 10 holes because of a thunderstorm, but the Dunes course was in great condition. Fun but challenging 9 holes. If you are in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach, it is worth the drive for the course and the lower cost.
