OK Course

I like playing Glenlakes. Love the layout. However, the greens were terrible and pace of play was awful. We were backed up at least 3 groups and never saw a ranger on the course. In addition, I got charged a "convenience fee of $2.98 (maybe for not paying cash?), anyway it wasn't much but a 6% charge??? Also, no beverage cart on course. C'mon, man!!!!!!

Used to be a great course

Sadly, this is not a good review of GlenLakes golf course. It used to be a wonderful course when they took care of it, but that seems to have taken the attack of going for all the money and the quality is gone away we’ve played this course an awful lot because of the convenience from where I live, I’m gonna have to travel because I’m not going to play much here anymore. I hope management can work it out in time. They allow way too much pressure on this course to keep it up anyway. They need to spend time trying to make it better. Hope it works out for them. I but it’ll be a while before I go back

Decent Course

The fairways were in good shape. The tee boxes and greens were not the best I've seen in the many times we've played here.

Very Disappointed

Course has a good layout and everything but the maintenance keeping up the course is just very disappointing. For the price you pay you’d think you would at least get something comparable but unfortunately they have lets the grounds (more specifically the greens) go down the drain.

Where’s the green?

I understand that it’s early in the season, but if you’re open and charging to play there should be at least one blade of grass on the greens. There was none. On any green! So wierd and frustrating. Not a good situation. We’ve played this course before in Feb-Mar and it wasn’t like this.

I would not recommend this course in Feb-Mar.

Very poor greens after freeze

The greens suffered quite a bit with the last freeze, which is too bad because they were starting to come back to life.

Slow play

My wife & I played 18 at 2:30. On the 3rd hole we got stuck behind a group of 7 young guys all playing together! So slow- we could not come close to getting 18 in. Disappointed they let a group of 7 play together?? Also the greens were not good quality-- not going back.

Loved the layout

A higher rating but for condition of the greens. All probably related to the winter recovery period. The people are wonderful!!! The closure of the food service at 4 pm was disappointing, as would have liked to hangout with friends and grab a bite. I think being an out of towner it’s just related to the early February season.
