Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 03/2019.

Glen Lakes Municipal Golf Course not only provides a good game of golf but also excellent practice facilities and a learning center that offers free lessons. The course features several lengthy par 3s and par 4s. It is beginner friendly but it also offers plenty of challenge to the experienced golfer. Water comes into play on nine holes and the rolling terrain creates tricky uneven lies. There are also strategically placed bunkers protecting the greens to watch out for. Glen Lakes Municipal Golf Course boasts outstanding practice facilities including a lighted driving range that stays open late and in the summer there are misting systems to keep golfers cool.

you get what you pay for here

I've played many times because it's close to my house and its very cheap....they could take a little bit of care on the greens. It's pretty bad but great price if you want to get out and play a quick nine holes

My favorite executive course

I've played here quite a few times, and I love this layout. It's a great little practice course. It isn't a pristine facility, but it isn't in terrible shape, either. In fact, I love the fact that there are a lot of risk/reward holes on this course. If you are accurate with your driver, you may just find yourself with an eagle. I prefer to lay up. And it serves me well.

My one beef with this course is that the driving range uses mats instead of grass. Otherwise, I foresee myself playing this course a lot in the future.

Great Value

Overall, the course was in pretty good shape. The greens were very slow and a little bumpy. It’s not especially difficult, but on some holes, the water hazards are not visible from the tees. Six par-4’s is nice for such a small course. It was fairly busy when I played in the afternoon, but it only took me about an hour and a half to finish when walking.

Needs some cleanup

I have played this course scores of times in the past, but this was the first time in about a year. The new management has re-routed holes 4-9, which works out OK for the most part, except it is a bit awkward waiting to cross in front of the 4th hole tee box to get from the 7th green to the 8th tee. The greens and fairways are in decent shape in general, but the rough needs some attention. There are several stacks of dead tree limbs scattered around the course. Most look like they have been there for weeks, maybe months. Still a decent course for a quick practice round.

We had no trouble getting a tee time. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Greens were well maintained.

One can use almost every club in your bag, even though there are no par 5's. Very tight executive course, but fun to golf. Greens were in good shape and not real difficult. Fun course. We walked it as many others did. It is a 9 hole course and we played it in 1hour and 45 minutes. Even waiting for slower players.

A work in progress.

Newly opened recently, the course offers a different look to the local golfer's that played here in the past (me included). The hole's are renumbered, I belive a plus, easy and quick to play. With 6 par four's and 3 par 3's, it's a nice nine hole course. Good for the intermeadiate player. I'm a happy golfer.

Not worth the effort.

Took my wife as she enjoys shorter courses. Course was not crowded yet play was very slow. Fairways and greens are dried out. That was my first and last trip to this course.

This course under its new management is tremendously improved.

This course under its new management is tremendously improved. It has a much more professional appeal. The grounds and the greens are better than i have ever seen them and constantly improving. A practical re-arrangement of the course makes much more sense than it previously did. The course now plays more smoothly and effeciently. Hands on new managerial approach has created lots of new features and benefits for all players, including the youth. This Club is on its way to becoming a Top Notch facility. Keep up the good work. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and supported !!!

OPPORTUNITIES FOR A GREAT 9!

This round was my warm up before my round at Southern Ridge Golf Course in Laveen. I had an okay round, will return to play Glen Lakes in the future. When I hit my drives well, I like the opportunity of hitting pitch shots/flops for either a birdie or par. Glen Lakes provides that for me.

Course Staff had no information about my reservation

Although I enjoyed playing golf here, when I arrived the staff had no reservation for me. They spent some time to try and find my reservation, but couldn't find it. I showed my reservation number on my iPhone (I booked it through the golfnow app).
They let me play, but asked me to come back afterwards to talk to the owner/manager.
Afterwards they still couldn't find my reservation.
