South/West at Glenview Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Golf Digest's Top 75 Public Courses included Glenview Golf Course once upon a time, and the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship was played there once, too. Even if the golf course's prestige has faded a bit - or simply been surpassed by golf courses that were designed more recently - the golf course still offers a test and still draws golfers.
If golfers choose to golf the South and West golf courses in tandem at the Glenview golf club, they'd be looking at a route that would take them 6,843 yards from the Black tees. Teeing off on the South Course, golfers would have to travel 401 yards from the Black tees and do it with a par of 4. Things get long on the South Course's third hole, a par 5 that measures 547 yards from the Black tees and is one of four holes that play to over 500 yards on this route.
The West Course's ninth hole is one of these, requiring golfers who go South Course to West Course at the Glenview Golf Course to close out on a par 5 that measures 541 yards from the Black tees.

Overbooked and Slow Play!!
Course (27 holes) seemed overbooked with tee times and a local bars yearly golf outing. Early morning pace of play, plus the outing, forced us to only play nine holes (over 2.5 hours to play nine). We had a 30 minute delay to start our round and a 45-60 minute wait to make the turn due to the pace of play and the outing. Pro shop would not issue a rain check because I booked the tee time through GolfNow.com. The last time I played Glenview, we had to play the same nine twice (East) as the South and West courses were too crowded. Frustrating course to play on the weekend.
Great condition with all the rain
This course is in great shape right now. We played a 1 hour 20 min front nine because we started at 715 but the back was incredibly slow. The staff is always great here but the pace of play is usually pretty slow because of all the slopes and the trees. They should either not let so many people on course or make the marshals actually do their job. Running this track while everything is so plush is as must
course is in good condition
Friends enjoyed the course and will play again. Golfnow is a good way to schedule.
Nice course; 3 good nines, but pace of play too slow
Good combination of playability and challenge; well maintained; but having played there four or five times the pace of play was so slow that it seriously detracted from the enjoyment. I would play this course more if not for the slow pace.
All the Bunkers need Sand
The pace of Play was very slow 5 hours for 18 holes is just crazy started at 2 got done at 7:10 . Not one bunker on the west Course had sand in them, they need some work.
Pretty city course
I really enjoyed playing Glenview. The course is a very mature course cut out through the trees. There are lots of challenging holes.
