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.

Great course and kind staffs
The course was nice and the staffs are kind and nice. I definitely come back!!
Not Worth Time or Money
Played this course several times over the past few years, mainly on weekends. You can expect a 5 hour round most weekends and you’ll never be allowed to play the East course (at least the handful of times I’ve asked I’ve been given a different excuse each time). Took a vacation day today (Friday 6/11) and was first group out. Made the turn and we got stuck behind 2 groups of elderly 3 zones walking on hole 10. And we waited behind them hoping to get let through until hole -4 when we decided to just skip in front of them. Not their fault it’s the courses fault for letting other groups tee off on the back 9 when you know you have groups making the turn shortly after. Wasn’t even compensated anything for the issue. Will not be playing again.
Miserably slow play
The course looked good and the greens were fantastic. I found the staff friendly and helpful. Only problem was they sent me off behind a few 5-somes playing a scramble format. Few could even hit the ball. Horrible pace for a Saturday.
Great City Course
Glenview is as good as it gets for a City Course.Fairways are in good shape and greens are fast and true
Glenview shines coming out of winter.
Glenview is a nice 27-hole layout that was in surprisingly good shape for the time of year. While the greens were a little bumpy and will benefit for a good spring-rolling, the course was in good shape overall. The front desk staff was helpful, as was the staff in the snack bar.
I saw definite improvements in overall course management - kudos to the staff, and keep up the good work!
What a Gem
Had a great experience and really enjoyed the hole separation and seclusion. Lots of fun holes to play and a great Staff.
