Rating 71.6

Glacier Wood Golf Club has a unique landscape that was carved by ice and earth. The scenic course sprawls across diverse terrain that combines open, grassy meadows, with mature forests and marshland. Sweeping elevation changes and glacial rocks that frame the course provide stunning views from tee to green. The more open holes have a spacious feel while the wooded ones are invitingly secluded. Golfers will have numerous strategically placed bunkers to contend with as well as many water hazards. The par-3 12th hole is the course's signature. This stunning hole incorporates dramatic elevation changes, forest, and wetlands for a challenge that you won't soon forget. The 15th is another hole that is as equally memorable, a u-shaped par 5 that is a double dogleg with a steeply sloped green.

Excellent Course!

What a wonderful time I had with my 3 sons playing this top notch course! Each hole seemed like it was cut out of the woods. Beverage cart girl was super accomadating. We saw deer, turkey, and geese while playing. Would highly recommend this gem to anyone. Thank you!

Great course, Great Value

Played this course thru an online deal. Fantastic layout with some very challenging holes thru the woods. Fair landing zones and challenging greens. Worth the 60 mile drive to play it.

Had never heard of this course - would definitely go back. Very scenic, moderately challenging, some really interesting holes hitting over ravines.

I would like to say it was a great time.

The weather was a cool 54 deg. and a little wind.

Rain went through the night before we played.

So we had the course pretty much to our selves.

The course was in great shape with many challenges that you will want to play again.

the greens were some of the fastest that I have played.

Ill be back and maybe bring a little sunshine with me.

thanks

Great Course Hidden Away

Glacier Woods is a great course hidden in Iola. For early season was in great shape. Have played here before and could not believe how nice the course was for the price. The only issues was the pace of play. Don't know what was holding up everyone, but waited on the first 13 holes. Will play here a lot this year! Thank you Glacier Woods!!

Course was in great shape. Expected it to be wet after all the rain this spring. Greens were quick, but somewhat variable in speed and firmness. Very friendly staff, will definitely play again.

Always good time

For late in the season the course was well kept. The leaves were pushed into the woods adequately. The sand traps were covered with deer tracks as usual. Good time

Beautiful and challenging

Lots of rain the previous 24 hours, so there were some really wet areas. But it's a beautiful course as well as challenging. Wind was also a big factor due to the rainy weather. obviously not the fault of the course. highly recommend it. Take your camera. Lots of wildlife to be seen as well !
