Greens horrible

Greens are gone! Absolutely the worst I’ve played. The only reason I’m leaving a bad review is because they have to know how bad these greens are and they are still charging full prices! Everything else about the course is really good, layout, fairways, staff. But it’s unreal how bad they’ve let the greens get. I’ve played this course several times and when the greens are right it’s a great course. The greens are unplayable right now….dead, hard as concrete…horrible! I won’t play the course again until I hear from someone that they’ve fixed the greens. Again if they acknowledged it and reduced the price it would at least show they care about it. Bad business to charge full prices when it’s obvious how bad the greens are!

Wet and Rough

Stretches of heavy rain in March/April have no doubt impacted the course’s condition, but after playing here a time or two every spring over the past 20 years, I have to conclude that very poor greens and patchy fairways are the rule rather than the exception at Glen Lakes.

Greens sucked, everything else was good

The greens on the Dunes & Vista courses were in absolutely terrible condition. It's one thing if they recently sanded & punched, but this was way beyond that. Many of the greens didn't even have grass, only hard packed dirt/sand. I overshot a hole by a couple of feet on a back pin, and the ball rolled like 30 feet all the way down to the front of the green, all on hard dirt. It's too bad, because we liked the rest of the course.

No grass on the greens

Honestly, allowing people to make a tee time and pay to play without notifying customers there is no grass on the greens is unconscionable. This is not an exaggeration there is no grass on the greens. It’s just sand and mud.

No grass

These are the worse greens I have ever seen.

Putting on dirt, the course is not worth the money they charge.
