Glenlakes Golf Club - Lakes Course

Glen Lakes always delivers. For the area, you won't find a better course for the price!

Fairways in great shape Greens below average carts Good pace of play average need water buckets in heat

Have to consider in the Foley/Gulf Shores area the courses are limited. So we played Glen Lakes, price was $70 retail or $45 on GN. I could not see paying $70 but hey limited choices.

The greens were slow and had a lot of crab grass taking over. Tee boxes, fairways where fine, bunkers could have been raked, of course it didn’t help the group in front of us had never heard of a rake before. The staff can get a little grumpy, our cart didn’t have brakes and the starter/ranger didn’t seem to want to believe us.

Really liked the course. Great value for the price. Very friendly staff. Just wish the course had more free water locations to fill your cup. I understand the need to make money but heat index was 110+. We did see the beverage cart twice.

I knew the had aerated, so that is not part of my judgment of the course.

Pace of play was dismal. This is a short, simple golf course. A Thursday in June should not be a four hour 45 minute round. We never saw a marshal. For that matter we never saw a cart girl or guy. Totally no reason for such slow play, EXCEPT the conditions.

The course must not drain, because 6 or 7 holes were cart path only. Played other area courses same week without this issue.

Most of the greens have an invasive weed growing right at the edges of the greens right where the fringe would have been if these weeds weren’t there. No way to put through this stuff

Played lakes and vista. They had punched the greens. That is frustrating when it is a surprise. I would definitely give another try.

The fairways and tee boxes were great

The greens were aerated and had goose grass on some, pin placements were ridiculous considering aeration, all were 10 ft from edge of green, note to greens keeper, we want to enjoy the round, this is not US Open

With that said I would still try the golf course again just not this Time of year

My brother and I booked a tee time for 7:22am and upon arrival (7am) the marshal stated "whenever you're ready, have at it". 18 Holes, 2 Hours and 15 minutes, Not a cloud in the sky, never waited on a single shot. We were both really surprised the course wasn't that packed. I guess it was too hot for some.

Three nine hole courses where they rotate two for your 18 hole experience. The starter understood the course and helped cater a round that kept the pace of play ideal. Three nine hole courses with distinct personalities. Fair and challenging. Would definitely go back.
