Challenging

Course was in very good condition except for a few weeds in the greens which didn't affect my putts. Most holes have mounds on each side of the fairway giving difficult lies. Well designed course.

Wonderful Course

This course is links style without the tall grass. It rewards you with good play and will punish you are in the rough. It is worth playing this course.

Great Course

Course was in great shape. Greens were fast even though it had rained most of the day. Wasn’t crowded due to the earlier rain so play was quick and relaxed.

Great conditions - slow play

Conditions were great. A bachelors party was holding up the entire course. Front 9 took 3 hrs to play. Marshall moved them to the lakes course after 9 and then it was smooth sailing. Paired up with a 3 some of local regulars and they were super guys. Played for 39 dollars on a golfnow hot deal so it was well worth the money.

Glen Lakes

Have to consider in the Foley/Gulf Shores area the courses are limited. So we played Glen Lakes, price was $70 retail or $45 on GN. I could not see paying $70 but hey limited choices.

The greens were slow and had a lot of crab grass taking over. Tee boxes, fairways where fine, bunkers could have been raked, of course it didn’t help the group in front of us had never heard of a rake before. The staff can get a little grumpy, our cart didn’t have brakes and the starter/ranger didn’t seem to want to believe us.

Hot/steamy day

Really liked the course. Great value for the price. Very friendly staff. Just wish the course had more free water locations to fill your cup. I understand the need to make money but heat index was 110+. We did see the beverage cart twice.
