Glenlakes Golf Club - Vista/Dunes Course

Overall the course is OK until you get to the greens. They are a mess.

Fairways just aerated, greens thin but improved. Working to get back in good shape.

Played the Dunes and Vista. Fairways and tees were aerated on the Dunes course but didn’t cause an issue. Greens are suffering from winter kill and are tough to putt. Fair price, great course layout and will play again next time in Orange Beach. Staff was very welcoming. Starter was helpful.

Fairways still look very good. The greens are getting better every week.

Played here several times this year. Greens are filling in, but still a few in rough shape. Getting better.

the greens are small. the greens got a fungus or disease. they are very beat up. it's a tough track. i have always played the dunes and vista nines. first time playing the lakes. lakes is shorter and in good shape. if i had to pick the best to play. it would be lakes vista combo.

Glenlakes is one of my favorite courses. I particularly love the staff and course layout. Unfortunately, the course greens are in embarrassing condition. An advisory should have been made available when providing tee times. Instead, the full green fee price was charged knowing full well that the couse conditions were insanely sub-par. I was ashamed to have invited my out of town military guest to play under these course conditions.

The greens are still in terrible shape, but you can practice other parts of your game. No sense keeping a real score with the conditions of the greens.

Very disappointed that they don’t inform you prior to playing.

The greens are gradually improving. The rate of play was great until we hit 13, then we caught up to the log jam, but even then the wait wasn't that bad. When the greens have come back, the course will definitely be on my list of favorites.

All 18 greens are toast! A few patches of grass surrounded by dirt. Avoid playing until greens can be fixed or replaced.

Have played here many times over the past 20 years. Originally a superb course designed by Bruce Devlin. They really never had the money to keep it up, but it has mostly been a pretty good course in pretty good shape.

Last time i played (last fall) the course was Ok but they were not doing anything for pace of play, and it took well over 5 hours.

This time (5/6/2025) the course was a disaster. The greens were 25-50% dirt. The little grass they had was slow but patchy and bumpy. The dirt was dirt. balls hit hard dirt and bounced like concrete, but some of the bare spots on the greens were soft ground and so soft you could plan on anything.

Several traps have been grown over with grass.

I expect I have played on a worse course from the standpoint of conditioning, but I can't remember when or where. It is a shame-the two Devlin nines were challenging years ago........

Overall good condition but greens are thin and on poor shape

Every green had major areas of dead grass, holes and large dirt spits. Super difficult to putt. I’d wait before going back. Maybe they will recover.

I still enjoy the course, but the greens still haven't recovered. Fairways are in good shape. All the employees in the clubhouse are pleasant to deal with and willing to help. The outside people are friendly and ready to help. I will be back.

I was a Member in 2024, at Glen Lakes. Glen lakes Greens are the worst I’ve ever seen, no Grass on the Greens. My understanding from Glen Lakes news letter indicates they had a Winter grass kill on their Greens.

* Glen Lakes is getting bad press from many of our local Golfers.

* I will not be joining Glen Lakes in 2025. I hope their greens recover.

The course is not worth the greens fee. Management should reduce the fees to reflect the horrible condition of the greens. Mostly bare ground with inconsistent areas of a bit of grass. Imagine attempting to read a washboard.

Will not return.
