Glengarry Golf Links

Got out on Saturday evening for a quick 9 holes. First time playing here and only played the front 9. Played some really fun holes and the fairways are nice and wide. Can’t wait to get back and play a full round of 18 holes and see the back 9!

A well maintained and scenic course. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

First time playing this course but was fortunate to have a playing partner who had local knowledge of the course. Wide fairways, large, soft greens with decent pace and overall good conditions, I definitely look forward to returning for another round soon and highly recommend this course to any caliber of player. Not much difference in length from blue to white tees but over 1000 yards from white to gold for senior players. Challenging but fair, I’ll be back! Also, the gentleman in the pro shop was extremely friendly and helpful.

I teed off at 7:30. Other than having to deal with five or six yet unswept greens, I had a fantastic time. As usual, the vistas were beautiful, and the course was in great shape.

The upkeep of the course is not the best, but for a public course in the middle of no where I was impressed with the openness of the course and moderate difficulty. Great for a beginner but there were several water holes leading up to the greens on several holes. Other than that I would return in a heartbeat!

I always love playing around early in the morning at Glengarry. it’s beautiful, the course is in great shape, particularly the greens, and the pace of play is fantastic. I generally finish in less than 2 1/2 hours without rushing.

This is a very popular course with the locals. It provides a good option for higher handicap players, and I saw a large variety of golfers. Men women and elderly. You don’t pay much to have a round with friends.

The staff was all very friendly and helpful. They seem to really care about the customers. There’s a friendly welcoming atmosphere for all. The pro shop was small but functional, and bar was in the barn and basic but again, had lots of tables for crowds and friends. The parking area is not asphalt.

I wouldn’t call it a links course by definition, but it is open, few trees, and I suppose wind could be prevalent at times. Water on a few holes, and the blind shots are minimal and not punitive. Sand traps were few and I wasn’t in any and don’t recall seeing anything notably great or poorly maintained.

The boxes were okay, nothing notably good or bad. Fairways were hard and dry, as we’ve had no rain for some time and I don’t think they have sprinklers for them. But most lies were playable without having to worry about poor conditions. The rough was short, (mowed weeds) to speed play for the higher handicap players, which were more prevalent than average.

The greens were pretty good and held a good shot but released on plays from rough. I played on a hot afternoon and they rolled well and faster than average but appeared to be slower, messing with your head. Three putts were not uncommon, my bad.

Hole layout was good. I thought the variety pretty good. Kept me engaged.

So this is a recommendation but I give an honest review so you know you’re getting a course that’s great for time out with friends, but if you are lower handicap player (I’m about a 8 now) and want a course to fit your game skills this might disappoint. Nothing against the course or management, every course has a target clientele. If you see this on a Gold Advisor top course list it’s because the players who play it LOVE this course. But I played others during my visit to the area which were better quality but you pay for it as well. We need courses that’s welcome the recreational players with higher handicaps, and this course excels at that.

Course was in good shape. Some fairways are not in the best of shape. Greens are really nice.

Pace of play was extremely slow. Took almost 2 1/2 hours to play the back 9.

Would recommend playing the course if you haven't.

It says links and it does have that links feel. Some wide open fairways so you can miss and not be penalized off the tee too severely. Several club up or club down elevation changes make club selection difficult. Greens rolled wonderfully for playing mid afternoon. Some waiting but not awful for a Saturday afternoon. Giving you the call ahead info to order pickup food at the turn is a nice touch. For the $28.50 rate I got on golf now I think it was a fantastic value!

Not being negative but the course is somewhat hilly not unlike most Western Pa courses. A 3:40 tee time with heat index near 100 was perfect for playing Golf with Few on the course. Enjoyable, Forgiving but if you get out of position Tough! Greens were very good. Not fast, Not slow. Go play it and pick a tee box that give you a challenge. Got that Senior tee fans!
