About
Gleneagle Golf Course in Arlington is just an hour north of Seattle. The 5,949-yard, par-70 layout may seem relatively short, but it's a course that will test your shot making skills and accuracy with strategically placed bunkers and undulating greens. The layout makes up for any lack of length in many other ways, including the treacherous rough that lines the rolling fairways. Water hazards come into play as well, but there are more on the front nine than the back. There are some challenging holes but overall, players of all skill levels will enjoy the golf course, especially with its backdrop of cedar and fir trees spread across rolling hills. With a driving range also available, Gleneagle offers one of the area's best values for the money.

Golfer Reviews
Best it's looked in awhile.
This course is making a nice comeback, the fairways are in terrific shape, the sand is the best it's been in a long time. The tee boxes are still a little rough but they are working on them. The staff from the Clubhouse to the Bar is Top Notch and they have the best food on any course!
Course conditions are good again
I've had a membership to Gleneagle for the past 2 years. I didn't renew this year because course conditions were pretty bad last year (as other reviews attest). I went and played there today and conditions are getting close to where they were 2-3 years ago. It's a fun, challenging course and a great value. My 36 holes were super fast. If you decided not to play there since last year. Give it another shot. You'll enjoy it.
Nice greens
Very friendly staff and good price. Overall not a bad course. The tee boxes are in serious need of some TLC.
Better than I thought it would be
Course is tight requiring good shots to the greens. Greens are a little slow but overall I really enjoyed playing this course. Birdies and doubles are out there.I will play it again.
It was a solid course.
I enjoyed the course and the layout.
Tee boxes
The worst tee boxes ever! Why not rope off a section at a time and plant some grass. The fairways are great, greens are ok bunkers very nice and the rough good be cut a little shorter. A nice challenging course.
Great Time
Great course, even though it's in a subdivision it's very quiet, with many secluded holes with lots of water, trees and beautiful scenery.
Great value
Although the forecast was for showers, the weather was sunny and cool for all but 15 minutes of light hail.
As far as I could see, only myself and one foursome were on the course, making for an awesome pace of play,
The front nine was very wet, but the back nine much drier. Sand traps were in bad condition, with many weeds growing inside. Overall, the greens rolled well although there appeared to be some organic damage near the fringes of many.
This was an excellent value for 18 holes.
Maintenance has gone down
Was disappointed that the maintenance of the course seems to have been neglected. There was grass growing in the sand traps and the fairways felt like they had not been mowed in a few weeks. The greens used to be some of the best in the area but look like they have been neglected also.
Course is much improved
I play there last month and found the course in terrible condition but gave it another try yesterday and found conditions to be much improved. The tees are getting better but still have a ways to go but the greens and fairways are much improved.
Friendliness
Great staff very friendly. The layout of the golf course is challenging.
Nearly made me cry
The condition of the course was so bad it nearly made me cry. I am sure at some point in the past this course was a very nice course but It felt like the course was on it's last leg of a slow death. The fairways had so many types of grass in them and they were so uneven that it was had to find your ball. The tee's were burnt up from the hot summer. The cart paths were so bumpy you needed a back brace while driving on them. Their are nice homes all along the fairways and some are to close. They are a strange contrast to the golf course. I hope the they see fit to fix it up as it could be a very nice golf course.
Fun little track
Course conditions were as bad as I've ever seen. I've golf this location numerous times. Not sure why they weren't in better shape. Inconsistent grooming from hole to hole. The greens were OK but the rough was extra punishing in some areas and not in others. Maybe a little OT for the greens crew to get everything back in shape. I have enjoyed playing here in the past and had fun but would like to see it improve
Poorly maintained, easy short course
The conditions of this course was the worst I've ever played. The drought had the Seattle area courses stressed, but there appeared to be no attempt to keep it healthy. Many Tee boxes were without any grass anywhere. Undergrowth outside fairways was solid blackberry bushes and such. Fairways were in bad shape but that is normal here this year. Course is short and mimics more pricey courses that are built in and around homes. Many are too close for beginners. Nothing notably positive unless you are a senior just wanting a short local course to play with a nice clubhouse.
Don't Believe the Pictures
I was very disappointed in this course. I got a great deal, read good reviews and it looked beautiful online. When I got there I found 4 inch fairway grass and burnt, cracking greens. The fairways looked more like a field than a golf course. I don't think I'll play here again.
Good course well worth the price of admission
A hidden (semi-precious) gem north of Seattle in Arlington well worth the drive & price. A couple of bad holes but I would play this course every day if I lived here 'cause I've played courses that were more than twice as much & not half as good.
Course Conditions
I have played this course multiple times in the past and was very surprised and disappointed of the conditions.
The fairways were dry, the Tee boxes were terrible, bunkers had weeds and rocks in them, it just made me feel like I was playing a course somebody had built out on their farm.
Summer play
Course was very dry. Sand traps were full of weeds and grass. Greens for the most part were being watered but several had severe dead brown dry grass areas. Weather has been very dry and hot this season. Course would really fun if it was better maintained. A shame.
DRY...
There has been a sprinkler issue and it took 8 weeks to fix so don't expect much green on the course. With how hard the fairways were there should be some kind of discount similar to when you punch the greens... Until it isn't cement fairways I won't play the course this year.
I too played this course this last week. At best I would only give overall rating 2 stars. Yes the staff do a good job but the course is in need of a good makeover. The tee boxes were like the rough, 2 1/2" and uneven. The greens are nice, but don't expect your ball to check up.
