About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Par 72
Length 6911 yards
Slope 130
Rating 73.4

Golfers who choose to golf the West and East golf courses at the Glenview Golf Course are looking at a layout that measures 6,911 yards from the Black tees - the longest possible 18-hole combination on the golf course.

Golfers who go West Course to East Course at the Glenview Golf Course will tee off on a par 4 that measures 427 yards from the Black tees. Things get long on the West Course's third hole, which plays to 547 yards from the Black tees and is one of four holes on the golf course to travel such a distance. The East Course's final hole is one of these, coming in at 563 yards from the Black tees, making it the longest hole on the golf course.

Because the Glenview Golf Course is a public golf course, golfers who choose a walking route during the week can golf dirt-cheap.

Much Improved !!

WOW! I had not played here in a while and did not have high hopes, especially at the price we paid. This course is much improved, especially the greens, they're super smooth with a very true roll (South 9 are still a bit slower than the West 9.) Fairways were also in great condition. The only thing we could complain about is that some tee boxes had some patches with less grass and others were very hard making it hard to get your tee in the ground. We would very much play this track again!

Good Spot

I played on a day when it wasn't busy and had a fast round. The fairways are in very good condition; bunkers are so-so. Greens are not fast. Good facilities all the way around.

Great course as always

We played in 4 hours flat, including too much time at the turn (an outing had the grill clogged). We waited on the tee a few times, but kept moving just fine. My only issue: there was a group of 3 guys behind us that yelled for us to move it while we were looking for a ball in the rough, not OB, just the fairway rough. On the back nine, they had the ranger tell us to catch up with the group ahead of us, with whom we were keeping pace, that irked me tremendously. BTW the threesome behind us played extra quick because they didn't look for balls that they were launching into the woods, and they were parking their carts right next to the green.

Good Course

I have played at Glenview before and the course met expectations again. It is a nice course with fair challenges. Pace of play was great especially for a Sunday morning (our threesome was done in 4:20). My only complaints for the course were it was overly moist and the greens were not maintained well. Seems greens were neglected a lot of divots had not been fixed.

Nice round

I enjoyed my 9 holes but the fairway grass was too long and especially the cut right outside the greens. But it was like that on all 9 holes so I adapted...

Conditions are great right now

besides the greens being a little slow the rest of the course was great. The pace of play for a Wednesday mid-day was very slow...people need to learn the etiquette of golf and let people play through if you are not playing at the pace of play. I love this course and will play it again soon.

Glenview says they only do 9 holes with Golf Now

When I arrived at the course and checked in I asked the guy at the clubhouse which two nines we would be playing. He told me that Glenview only books 9 hole tee times with Golf Now. My cost was supposed to be $20.00 even but he charged 20.and change. I like Glenview but I don't thin Ill use Golf Now to book again if they are only letting you play nine. The East side was BACKED UP. it was well over 2 hours to play

Had similar issue, booked with Golfnow for first time (last year). I found excellent price for 18 holes @ Glenview on a Saturday. Upon arrival I produced my confirmation with price and was told it was not correct, that it was a nine hole price not 18. Then I was told they do not do 9 holes only on week-end. I asked how I would have confirmation, the guy became agitated and said I if want to play I would pay the same price as everyone else, not true, factoring in my charge for booking, I paid more than anyone in Cincinnati to play Glenview that day.

Best greens in Cincinnati

The course is in very good condition. The greens were in excellent condition but were a little slow. The course is not long or extremely challenging, perfect for most hackers. All holes are well marked.

Not what it used to be

I've played this course many times. Once it was one of the premier public courses in Cincy. Sadly, management has chosen to fill in many of the bunkers on the South and West courses. I assume this was to make it less costly to maintain. Many of the remaining bunkers were in terrible shape. I only saw one that was being rehabbed.

Fairways and greens were in pretty decent shape, but they have many dead ash trees to take out as a result of the emerald ash borer. They detract from the appearance of the course.

I won't go back this year.

Course is in great shape

Played on a Monday morning and it wasn't busy at all. Staff was friendly upon check in. Maintenance crew also gave helpful hints on where to place tee shot on a par 5. Course was in great shape, greens were very nice. Would definitely recommend to a friend

Eagle putt!

Everyone knows glenview in the Cincy area. Undebatably Best Public/City track....only issus is getting on....Spring golf in this part of the country. On the West track there is a shortish par-4 (gets a bit longer every time I tell the story)....low 300's with a down-hill slop. Trouble left, yet still begs you to go for it...
Drove the green and was left with a 15-ft eagle putt. Off course I was NOT going for it, on a sloping green, chickened out and layed up for a tap-in birdie! Made my rnd...don't remember what I shot on the other holes...who cares! Fun track.

Great Public Course

I don't know how this course doesn't get better ratings. The East is OK, but the West is above average and the South is fantastic. For less than $30 on golfnow, it is a steal. We were matched up with two great guys from Lima and had a blast. Nice staff, nice conditions, and fun. Highly recommend.
