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
Greens in great shape
The course is in good shape. Greens are in great shape. Played 1 day after a lot of rain and the course held up really good. Congrats to the super. The course is 100% better than 5 years ago. Will play the course again soon.
good condition
This course had a bad rep for poor condition. Not anymore. The new crew has it in great shape. The greens were especially nice. The course can be tough if you so not play it smart as many holes are short for a driver.
Though not long, it is challenging for the layout and pin placements.
I found Gleneagle to be in pretty good condition considering the lack of rain for golf courses in general. The greens were in great condition...not fast or slow but in great condition. One compliant was that a few tee boxes needed to be moved more frequently to repair existing damage. A GREAT course for the money!
Course is improving
Course is in pretty good shape, greens are nice, fairways are pretty good, some thin areas, drop area on 3rd hole is pretty patchy. Some trees in the veranca on 15 should be cleared to provide more room and a better view off the tee. Bunkers need a lot of help, not enough sand, too many rocks, and inconsistent. Number 1 issue to be addressed imho. Carth paths are getting severly affected by tree roots and need to be smoothened somehow. Hopefully the drainage is being improved steadily. Over all a pretty good value, but cart price should be 10 or 12 instead of 14. I would not pay $40.00 for golf and cart on a weekday, and maybe not weekend either.
Fun course
The course, like most development courses, has houses built very close to the fairways. This course has less in the way of barriers (netting, thick trees, etc) then most and has signs stating that the golfer is responsible for all damage and, "Do the right thing and report damage to the pro shop." signs scattered around the course. Our group managed to keep our balls in the fairways ;), but if you are a big slicer or hooker, this may not be the course for you.
Overall the course is fun to play and challenging enough to be interesting.
Great Greens
The fairways are getting a little brown but the greens are in great shape. They were putting down new sod at one T box but not a problem. I will be playing there again soon.
this course did have great features
Was the best greens i have found in Washington State so far, and it was ez getting around from the fairways, no wash board fairways
as in a few courses I've play in area. I'm going to play it again.
Very nice greens. Narrow fairways bordered by houses.
Leave your driver at home. This is not a long course and the fairways on many holes are very narrow. The 18th green can be cruel to some players as there are deep bunkers on either side of about a 30 foot wide green. I saw 3 golfers give up and throw their balls out of the bunker after going back and forth multiple times. Not a great way to finish a round.
crazy track
This course is crazy. You're playing holes in the middle of a neighborhood. Never seen anything like it! Most holes are tight driving holes. Fairways are very dry so the ball roles a mile. Greens are in good shape, and most are guarded by ponds. Quite a challenging course. If you don't hit the ball fairly straight, don't bother playing it. Holes may be on the shorter side, but with tight fairways, dry grass conditions and ponds, it's very challenging.
Not bad... Not great.
For you golfers who are very accurate, its pretty nice. Houses are stacked alongside the fairways so if you tend to be a bit arrant., maybe try another place. Greens rolled well but had dry spots in places. Overall it was good value for the money.
Fun track to play!
Really enjoyed this course. A lot of fun to play. Trees & shrubs on nearly every fairway, but fairways were pretty wide. Tough to walk, as many tees were quite a distance from greens. Highly recommend for a fun time.
nice course, nice variety
Don't need a big drive, need to put the drive in the fairway. Lloyd of short irons into greens. Accuracy is everything, on every shot.
This course has interesting holes.
The Tee boxes require attention, too much sand and not enough grass. Greens in great condition. Fairways in excellent condition. Ruff a little long. Still wet in some areas.
Outstanding greens. Layout not for the timid.
I played this course two years ago, and there is little resemblance in conditions. As I mentioned above, the greens were some of the best that I've seen at any cost. They were not super fast, but fast enough & very true. And most are tiered & " gently sloped" to add a measure of challenge. The swearing under my breath was all on me, & none on the greens. The layout, while not super long is a true test of shot making, while most par 4's let you rip it, there's water & sand on 80% of the holes, so approach shots need to be dialed in. A lot of houses line the course & may come into play on errant shots. My neighbor & I ,while not playing our best, were left very impressed with improvements made, & realized it's a course that needs to be played 4-5 times before getting comfortable with the layout. We'll be back to try and knock a few strokes off our last effort. Kudos to the staff............
Leave the driver at home.
Narrow fairways bordered by houses. Used a 4 iron or 3W for most tee shots. Shot placement is key. Greens were quick despite a drizzly day.
Can't beat the price.
Got a hot deal, $18 with cart! Three of us played under 4 hours, greens were in good shape, had a small range, no drivers but you can get warmed up. Pretty short even from the tips, but the par threes are tough, target golf. Quite a few houses, so poor shots can be interesting. Great value if you get a good price, will do it again.
Greens were in great condition!
The course was a little wet after a day of heavy rain, but overall it was in good conditions and the greens were great!
Short but very challenge
Gleneagle is a beautiful mountain course in great condition. Don't foul by its length. The restaurant is great. Cheese burger is the best. The only minus is that they gave us a plastic cups for draft beer.
Straight shot is very important on this course.
Challenge course, bunkers, creek, trees, houses, glass windows, tight fairway, roughs, hills...... afraid to use my driver. I used my 5 wood on many tee shots instead (range from 180 to 225 yards). Hit some great tee shots though. 5 wood again on fairway. It is my most confident club,dead straight. Green is very good. If you are tire of bump and run course, try this. Test yourself, how good is your swing?
My handicap is 24 and I enjoy this course.
Fix it
Greens in good shape with true roll. The speed was fast but fair.
I just wish more people would fix their ball marks. I repaired 2-5 on every green.
C'mon people!
Great point on the ball marks. The course should put more emphasis on repariing ball marks. It probably would help some. It is a pretty rampant problem on most public courses. All beginning golfers should be taught to repair ball marks. Unfortunately there are some folks who seem to be too lazy to do it.
