Glenlakes Golf Club - Lakes Course

I’ve played this course many times in the past but it’s been a couple years, the layout is really nice but conditions were terrible, the bunkers were unplayable, the tee boxes covered with weeds, and the greens were dreadfully slow, hopefully I caught them on an off day.

Fairways and Rough were NICE! Greens need some work - there was bald spots and invasive weed/patches that needed poisoning, sanding & fertilizer.

I always go by myself and sometimes I play by myself, which is fine, but other times they pair me with someone else. I have yet to meet someone there that isn't a good partner for a round of golf.

Local knowledge is helpful to find a few fairways but overall most holes the landing zones were very inviting and greens were very receptive.Coarse was still a bit wet and you could tell they couldn’t cut the grass for a bit due to heavy rains earlier,preferred lies (muddy balls )Good 27 hole Course.

i've played this course several times. it was my 6th time playing. don't compare this to kiva dunes. but for the value, it is better than kiva dunes. honestly the peninsula is better then kiva dunes. the fairways are nice. tee boxes okay but are getting neglected. the range is okay. the range balls need to be replaced. the short game facility is small. the practice green is large. the green speeds match the practice green.

the greens are in terrible shape. there must be a fungus or they are getting too much play.

you can tell they are not moving the hole location much because the hole lips and edges are worn. the greens are receptive and hold. not much scarring. but there are some burnt patches or just plain dead areas that i can only say are diseased.

would i play again, yes but only as a hot deal or early in the morning when i could be done early.

I’ve played this course, and recommended it to others, for several years when we travel to Gulf Shores. This is the first time I’ve used a “hot deal”, mainly because the price has always been great for the value. Now the cart fee is up to $40 pp, so not such a value like it was. I still love the course, paying for two may become an issue going forward..

course is esthetically pleasing and still offers a challenge. I will enjoy playing it again.

Fun course with such a friendly staff and nice clubhouse! Carts were very nice and comfy as well. Nothing like being able to grab a breakfast burrito and transfusion while you’re at it!

Always a great time here. No rush at all for beginner golfers. Great staff.
