Sunday at Glenn Lakes

This was our 4th time playing Glenn Lakes. The greens got hit hard during the winter snow and freeze and are coming back. Some were pretty rough. Fairways were good. Tee boxes OK .The Dunes course is the best of the 3 courses. No. 7 is a fun par 5, with a quasi island green. The starter got us out a few minutes early and our 2some finished in 3 1/2 hours. Not bad for a Sunday morning. Will play again.

Glen Lakes

Very nice course design. Very wide open, so it’s fun to let The Driver out. Grainger in good shape, but a few bad spots remain from the winter kill.

Amenities aren’t great, but it’s a really good course to play for just pure golf.

Course is in good shape overall. Greens were in bad shape a few weeks back but are steadily improving. Still a ways to go, but overall a good value.

Poor Greens

The course fairways were in pretty good shape. However, the greens were is very poor shape. Many of the greens have suffered severe damage from the historic snow we received this winter. You can see they are trying to get them to come back and I would have been more upset had we paid the normal rate. We paid $50 on a hot deal.
