Glendale Lakes Golf Club

I liked the this course. It was a little tough you have to bring your A game. Greens was rolled nice and fairs was cut great. Nice course to see where your game is at.

The course was nice, In good shape, tough course, fun layout and lots of water. What really turned me off was the staff. I had a 624 tee time, went into the clubhouse at 6am to check in and the guy says “see you in 20 minutes”. I said I can’t check in now? Nope! Your tee time is in 20 minutes so come back then. They won’t let you check in until your actual tee time, and they weren’t nice about it either. Their justification was that the grounds crew was still cutting the grass on the front 9. I play early every Sunday all around the area, and have never experienced this before. Really turned me off and I won’t return. It’s too bad too because the course is cool, but I won’t bother with a place that acts that way.

This course has a little bit of everything, so you have to bring your thinking game and don't just select the typical clubs on a hole. You need to think it out. The course looks as if it's easy due to its overall length, but golfer beware. It makes you ;think its easy when you start off of the 1st tee, but then the 2nd 3rd and 4th holes give you a reality check. 2 is quirky par 5, 3 is a par 3 over water and 4 has a very narrow fairway short par 4 with water to the right. There is water everywhere and then #10 is a beast that is a par 5, but the wind always seems to pick up here. Oh yeah did I mention #4 again. #7 is a tricky par 5 with homes lining the left. #17 seems preciously easy short par 4 hole but then you realize that water is on both sides and the fairway seems to slightly lean to the left and then your ball has scooted into the water. Finally #18 doesn't give you a straight look at the fairway with homes on the left water on the right of the fairway and water on the right as you approach the green. A grueling hole to finish your round. I somehow always shoot good at this course, and that's because I don't take it for granite. Great course to play and in good condition. The staff is super friendly Oh yeah did I mention hole #4?; Consider yourself warned. Also look for specials on GolfNow. .

Over the past several tears I played this course many times and was really happy. Today, not so much. I made up my mind many years ago that if I am at a course and see a 5some I will not go back. Caught up with a 5some on about hole 11 or 12 and they wanted to waive me thru on hole 18.
