Glendale Lakes bunkers

Great course but worst bunkers ever.....their dirt no sand club just skips off dirt....this is a very nice course but wonder why they would have terrible bunkers like this. I'll continue to play but if I end up in a bunker I will move it out as it like playing on hard pan....

Interesting holes

Lots of water and some challenging holes. I want to play it again when the wind (25+ mph gusts) won’t be such a factor. Greens were okay. Some sand traps were in terrible condition but I’m sure they will remedy that as the season progresses. All in all was a fun day.

Very interesting layout with plenty of water hazards.

This is a busy course - may be due to the affordability. The fairways and tee boxes need immediate attention. There are lots of low-drain areas in the fairways. Regardless, I like this course because of the layout. Will recommend .

Great Value

I played (11/10/20) the course outside of the normal season. I assume the course was so wide open because it waa off-season and COVID-19. The course was in okay condition. The course layout is pretty good and challenging for my level (intermediate).
