Horrible Golf course

This course was one of the worst courses I've played this year! Fairways was dried out it's like they hadn't put water on the course in years! The putting surfaces were horrible I don't know what they're doing to this course to be charging $80 looks like they're not putting any of the money back into the course. Won't play there again

Greens need work.

I feel that the greens were ate up with fungi. They should try to do something in order to improve the situation with them

Busy

A very busy day at Glen Lakes...lots of folks from out of town I suspect. Teetimes delayed by 20 minutes. When I pointed out to the starter that I thought it was a mistake, given how busy it was, to allow a fivesomes to play, he took pity on us and allowed us to start on the back, which was fine. I still maintain that fivesomes should never be allowed!

Interesting course to play. The front nine of the Dunes-Vista has smaller greens and undulating fairways. There is quite a bit of water along the fairways but really no forced carries. Course was in decent condition overall.

Disappointed

This course lost its greens during the snow of December 2025 here on the Gulf Coast. They are still in pretty poor shape with bare dirt in places. The course was soggy in many places-even a tee box was squishy on the back nine. The people are nice, but the course is in need of a serious greens keeper!

Wet weather

Getting Better

With the warmer weather and rain lately, the greens and fairways are improving. Greens are still hard to read due to uneven grass growth.

Casual water and weeds

The course was The Lakes course. Every hole had areas of casual water or mud from over watering. The greens had sprouts of weeds throughout. When you attempted a putt, it was a like a game of Plinko with the ball bouncing along the weeds causing missed putts and impossible reads.. We waited on every hole. There were so many golfers in front, that we waited before the tee box, on the tee box, and in the fairway on each hole. Ridiculous conditions to have to wait to play.

Greens

Great course but the greens aren’t in the best shape for the price you’re paying, albeit fall conditions, but the fairways and tee boxes were fine. Everything else is top notch, but the greens are in better shape elsewhere for right now. Will be back and would recommend if $80+ isn’t a big deal.

First time

Played the dunes/ vista 18 today. Dunes is harder for sure with mounds making for uneven lies just off fairways. Greens were quick but pretty smooth. Pace of play was slower on this side. Vista was a bit more forgiving , overall a good value for the price . Pro shop ppl were nice . Would play again
