South/West at Glenview Golf Course
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.

Great Public Course
I don't know how this course doesn't get better ratings. The East is OK, but the West is above average and the South is fantastic. For less than $30 on golfnow, it is a steal. We were matched up with two great guys from Lima and had a blast. Nice staff, nice conditions, and fun. Highly recommend.
nice course
First time playing there, fun course, will be back to play the other 9, course was in good condition for the time of year it was and following the winter we had
Nasty starter
We were 5 minutes late when checking in with starter. I shouldn't have peed. The starter yelled and lectured how he could not get us off because we were late. Usually on the weekends at this course, it's a little slow teeing off. Yesterday, Thursday, there was no one but the starter says he can't get us off because he had a group at 12:08. There were no other names on list. So then, Larry, the starter, yells, "well you're not going til 12:45. I said, there's no one on your list, the parking lot is empty,why 12:45. "Because you were late."
I have seen this starter go off on others and now we have decided not to place this course ever again. We have been late a couple other times over the years and have never been yelled at like this guy yesterday. Consequently I went back in and got a refund. I do not recommend this course when there are so many other options. We did go down the street and played at one of the other courses(which is a nicer course).
Course in good shape, slow play
Course was in great shape, slow play, very slow play, course was packed, should in the future not put so many groups out, if they are going to, get the ranges out and do there job, very very slow play
Greedy course
They pack the course full so the pace of play is 5+hrs. The greens are slow and the bunkers need sand.
sand traps need help
Course was in ok condition. I would think the price would be cheaper than $45 for the condition
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
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.
