Glenlakes Golf Club - Lakes Course

Only got to play 10 holes because of a thunderstorm, but the Dunes course was in great condition. Fun but challenging 9 holes. If you are in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach, it is worth the drive for the course and the lower cost.

Good round of golf. No outside beverages allowed Saw the cart girl after 3 holes, then again on the fourth hole and never again. Other than missing an opportunity to sell drinks, it was a good round.

Greens are terrible, fairways are pretty good. If you hit the fairway there are no level lies.

Glenn Lakes is posturing as an elite course in the Foley area. With a little more effort it could be one.

1. Staff - I have never had any issues with anyone of the associates *****

2. Amenities - it would be a benefit of the pro shop had more choices ****

3. Tee boxes - overall decent, but a few could be impurities as you need a hammer to get a tree beyond a quarter inch **** 1/2

4. Fairways - the Fairways are excellent and consistent *****

5. Greens - thet have improved, but still to many grassless spots. Gulf Links at a fraction of the cost are premium *** 1/2

6. On course amenities - filtered water station on each side but warm. No coolers and never had a cat girl come by. The bathrooms are clean and decent. ****

Close, but at a premium price it's not close. It's like calling a Chrysler 300 a Bentley because it has some similarities.

Vacationing in the area and looked for a value priced course. This course exceeded our expectations. Plenty of risk/reward shots. Greens were in good shape and rolled true. Pace of play was a little slow, but we expected that. Friendly staff, all in all worth the money.

The course has 27 holes; I played the Dunes & Vista nines. They were very different: The Dunes had a lot of mounds, bumps, hollows & elevation changes. The Vistas were flatter & had less challenge due to uneven stances and side hill lies. A couple holes (#17 & #18) were uninspiring-like they just squeezed them into the space left.

The conditions were ok overall, fairly slow greens but consistent. The course was generally good, but a little rough around the edges. The clubhouse seemed run down.

I’d go back again- overall good layout.

Guys, I played this track, recently, to get to the point, drastic price increase over the last 12 months, it is a $40-45 dollar course, charging $65-80 dollars.

The greens are spare with desirable grass, “weeds”, visible, sand traps, full of weeds, tee boxes spotty with grass.

* Needs much work, rehabilitation, to get back to playable conditions. I’m amazed they’re getting the price for a round of Golf!

* Sprinkler system leakage everywhere!

The course was in great condition. I highly recommend giving it a try.

The course is playing much better now after the rain. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are all doing well. The greens are much better than they were a couple weeks ago. I played after 3:00 and the rate was well worth it. Not sure I would pay the morning rate during peak season, it's a bit too high.

The course is shaping up. The greens are in good shape, but not great. Fairways are in great shape when you hit them. Overall, the course is worth the afternoon rates, not what they ask for in the morning.

I played this course the day before and really enjoyed it so I played it again the next day early morning round with my son-in-law and grandson because the girls were hanging out at the beach so they gave us a day at although I’m not an early morning golfer we had a 7:21 am tee time. The course was in really good shape. The mowing crew was out cleaning the greens off prior to us all so we had a nice surface to although the course has gotten a lot of rain over the next few days prior to us playing. There was only just a couple of holes that were cart path only so we enjoyed our round.

This course is definitely a hidden gem- I had some time to play but weather at the beach has been raining- but today was a small break in the weather so I searched for a course not near the beach area but not far from where I was staying. I found this location on GolfNow. Had good reviews and was far enough if it rained at the beach it would miss me. The proshop staff was super efficient and got me check in quickly, the starter was ready as soon as I got to the carts to give me the heads up on the course. It’s been raining here this week is they had a few holes that were CP only. Not to bad though, I played a good round and fast pace. Shot 77 (+5) not to bad for never laying eyes on this course before. Greens were extremely slow, due to rain they hadn’t been able to mow them yet. All in all it was a great course and will definitely play it again.

i’d love to come back and play this course again when i’m down here. I moved pretty quickly, folks let me play thru, and the weather cooperated with me long enough to complete my round. The only issues was the cart paths and the greens in spots probably needed attention but it was perfect for a 80’s-(sometimes higher :)) golfer such as myself

For the money it's well worth what they charge. Only drawback is that recently this area has recently an enormous amount of rainfall, so the greenskeepers are protecting the greens by allowing more growth than normal. Expect true greens that are snail pace slow.
