About
Glenross Golf Club seamlessly blends elements of traditional design with more modern features. Formerly known as Tanglewood Golf Course, five new holes were added in an extensive renovation. The original 13 holes were also redesigned from tee to green. The mature oak trees were carefully maintained though and still come into play along the fairways in addition to the hundreds of trees that were added. The gentle hills provide rolling fairways and undulating greens that demand accuracy. There are seven ponds and a meandering creek that come into play throughout as well as some 50 sand traps strategically placed along the greensides. Glenross Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 14th, which requires a carry over water to a small green but the most difficult hole comes earlier. The par-4 fifth has towering trees to the left, bunkers to the right, and a creek crossing the fairway.

Nice course
This was an enjoyable round. The most challenging part of the round was competing with the powerful winds that wanted to pick me up off of the ground. That's unusual for the area and by no means a knock on the course itself.
With clean fairways, nice sand, and thick rough, the course really rewarded good shots but allowed misses to be recovered. The greens were my only complaint, as they were extremely hard and fast. The spin I put on my irons should keep the ball within a foot of my divot, but these greens wouldn't even hold my ball! Constantly I was punished despite pin-high shots with my ball bouncing off of the green and into the rough.
The layout was certainly strange as well. Not a course to be walked. Despite the complaint about the greens, a very enjoyable experience overall. Definitely recommended.
Easy fairways/challenging greens
Not a lot of obstacles , just enough. The hole placement is what makes this course challenging.
great course
From booking a tee time to playing the the course it was a great experience
Well kept
Friendly staff with excellent course conditions. Only downside is the construction of homes near hole 2
Fun challenging course
I love playing Glen Ross. It's a very nice course, often very busy because of it. Definitely worth it when you can get a great deal on here. They have my favorite score cards by far with an overview of each hole, tips and tricks and an area to make notes. nice challenging course.
great shape
really enjoyed now nice the course looked, and it played just as well. all aspects (tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers) in great shape and visually very attractive.
Nice course
Pace of play was the slowest I have seen since Glenross but usually this is not an issue at this course. Golf Now deal changed, I purchased 3 players for $25, then the one player for the same tee time changed to $19 the next day, so not sure why that happened. Course was in great shape, you have to hit fairways on this course otherwise the rough will eat you up which makes the course more challenging since it is a fairly short course. Love playing this course and hope to always play it a few times a year. They do have nice banquet space if you ever wanted to have an outing with a group of people, one inside and outide, so that is a plus.
Two courses in one
The front nine is like a traditional course with mature trees and tough greens. The back nine is more like a links course with houses around. The back nine is shorter and it is easier to post a good score
Glenross
One of my favorite courses. Great value for a fun, quality track.
Nice course and price.
I really enjoyed my round. Course, clubhouse and staff were great.
Beautiful layout
A friend and I played 18 holes on Tuesday July 22nd. We were paired with two other golfers who were very friendly. We played the white tees and found the course to play quite short. We will probably move to blue tees next time. We made it around in approximately 3 1/2 hours and had a great time. Love the greens as they will hold and they putted true.
Challenge
No waiting & very friendly staff & continuo presence of staff at course to see your need & ready for help as needed
Nice course, always in great condition.
This course is always in good shape, and as a value for the money paid, compared to other local courses. Today's round was no different. Greens were in great shape, fairways were good, and the rough made it just challenging enough.
Help Wanted "Ranger"
Play regularly and like all the other New Era courses the lack of a starter / ranger can ruin your experience. Call ahead on weeknights to avoid getting stuck behind league players. Solid course, fairways are open and the greens are usually nicely maintained.
Solid
Haven't played here in a few years and wanted to check it out again. Great deal on GolfNow.com. We played from the blue tees, which was appropriate for our 15-20 handicaps. Fairways were well maintained, rough was rough and greens rolled true. I would have give Glenross 5 stars except for the following: people need to fix their marks on the green and divots in the fairways. Staffers were friendly enough and need to ask that of the golfers. Overall, hope to play again soon!
Nice course, greens not the best
Played this course many times over the years. It's very forgiving. I was disappointed in the condition of the greens. Compared to previous years, they were pretty "chewed up". Maybe they are getting a lot more play but management is not keeping up with what they were in previous years. They have upped the prices since they became a part of "New Era Golf" but the prices are getting to the point that they are not in line with the course conditions, in my opinion. I would not pay the full price for playing here but it's worth the discounted price. Blackhawk Golf club is a better value for their price.
$35 on a Saturday? Best deal in the north side!
Fun golf course, great pace of play. Played early so were fighting with the maintenance crew for a few holes, but nothing crazy. This course would have 5 stars all around if they would rake and fill their bunkers. They are horrible. Also, if you lose a ball in the rough, good luck! Lost at least half dozen balls off the tee
"That were in bounds" in the secondary rough. Very hard to find and grass was pretty long. Will definitely be back though!
Service
My buddy and I got all 18 holes in after teeing off at 545pm. After, we went into the clubhouse to have a few beers and the staff was so friendly. They had reasonable drink prices and great beer prices plus a great pool table.

Very nice course in great shape, except for the bunkers (there was a lot of rain in the days leading up to our round). Challenging enough for the average golfer. Excellent value. Definitely will play again and recommend to others.
