Good- not great

Nice friendly staff, especially the starter at first tee. Course setup is awkward including two par 3s in a row and some par 3s are so short you can tell they were jammed in to make it an 18 good course. Pace of play was bad at one point but cleared up at the turn. Overall good and fun course. Lots of water!

Perfect Day

It was perfect weather and the course was wide open. We played in less than 3.5 hours and never had to wait at any hole.

Better than ever !

I have played Glendale Lakes many times over the last 20 years. The course is now in the best shape since the early 2000's.

Course doesn’t reflect price

Seems like they stopped caring about the course. I’ve played here many times and seems to just get worse and worse. It’s convenient for me as I live down the street but come on bunkers are never playable and tee boxes are just divots. Never a cart lady, staff is not the best either. Golf carts are old also. Sorry but if I’m paying 60+ dollars for a round, I’m expecting quality.
