Gleneagle Golf Course

This course is tight

May be difficult for some

Tee boxes were in rough condition when I played

Greens were nice

Cool course I’ll be back

I have always enjoyed Gleneagle. Not long, but requires you to strike it well or it bites you quickly. Traditionally the greens and conditions were some of the best in Snohomish county. I hadn’t been up here since 2019 and was kind of shocked to see the conditions. The very nice man who checked me in disclosed they were the new owners and they were working through getting it back - but until I got on the course I hadn’t realized how far it had fallen.

The greens are always the star of this track - and they had been punched two weeks ago so rolled a bit bumpy but but were fine. The bunkers and off fairways were a different story. Weeds and essentially neglect is the best way to describe probably 70% of the bunkers - I finally just dropped out of one when it had more tumble weeds and scruff then a homeless Oklahoman.

The fairways were ok, narrower and inconsistent in mower height, but generally fine - but off the fairway was cooked, burnt, dead grass. Lies we’re uneven, it was almost clay like at points. We have had a dry summer and fall - but there is still sprinklers, somewhere, right? Hard to look at a cooked parkland course - harder to play it and watch the ball bound into peoples yards.

The place Needs irrigation, needs more ground crew (a couple were driving up and fertilizing mid day) , need someone to just go out and trim blackberrys from around trees, pick up downed trees (they’ve done some clearing which was nice but the dead trucks and leftovers were displayed all over the place. I remember it being pretty clean and fun - short but good golf. The range was pretty bad - mats and balls really run down.

Yesterdays round leaned toward dog track - even though I know for $27 what should I expect, but it still stinks cause I know the new owners care and are trying. And I always enjoyed Gleneagle but I won’t be back for rest of this year. I will be rooting for them to find some more staff, and Maybe some natural rain and a winter without major flooding will help this place bounce back. The renovations to the clubhouse, restaurant and bar scream high end. I wish the course matched that. Once it does, this will once again become a go to public course where you can enjoy a round, then have drinks and great food - an every man’s country club feel like it once had.

I will say pace of play was outstanding as we finished in less than three hours. The carts were nice and new. The tee boxes weren’t bad. You have to squint to see it, but I believe Gleneagle is on the way back.

Normally nice course. But no care is taken of. Bunkers are not working. It is value for money and technically difficult course. If the course conditions have been better, it would be a wonderful challenge.

Carts in good condition

Bar and restaurant very good.

The greens are amazing , there working on bunkers and mowing its coming along great.

The cart roads are very bumpy so sometimes I feel it is dangerous to drive. Needs to fix soon. Very concerned about it.

The condition of bunkers are unmanaged now. We understand the situation. But the most of the cart roads are bumpy and dangerous. Need to repair asap.

There are a lot of things that have improved greatly such as clearing of a lot of underbrush, great food in the restaurant (we had prime rib). The staff and Paul the golf pro are really great and friendly. The only thing I heard from other people and friends, is "what is up with the bunkers". Weeded, rocky and wet. It is a surprise given how much the course itself has improved. If they can get the bunkers fixed it would be awesome.

The course was very neglected. 2 holes on the front which included the first par 3 had water on the green. Unputtable. Most of the bunkers looked like ground under repair. The driving range was horrible. The mats were tore up and hooked your club if you werent careful. The balls that i got looked like they had been sitting in the woods for years.

The best part was i got a cart and it was a very nice cart. Comfortable seats and in great condition.

I wont be coming back unless i hear it has been taken care of. It really is a shame. It used to not be like that.

Short course, decent greens. Sand traps need alot of work.

NICE COURSE, CLOSE TO HOME. NOT TOO HARD TO GET ON. AVOID THE BOOKING COMANY. TRY TO BOOK THRU THE PROSHOP.

Course is challenging didn’t do as well as I would have liked. To a first timer many of the holes either had slope to trouble and areas I wasn’t aware of that lead to this trouble.Greens were in good shape and consistent. Traps need a lot of work, they need more sand added. I would play here again now that I know all the problem areas.
