Glendale Lakes Golf Club

Played the course on the 1st day that golf carts were made available. Cart path only day and a very windy day. 1st time I ever played it and I was happy with the layout and the challenge. Lots of water and lots of trees. You get to use many different strategies from the tee box. I will definitely play again when the weather is better.

I played this course on a beautiful day in FEBRUARY. I have only been playing golf for a year and a half and am not a great golfer. The course has narrow fairways and homes right on top of the course. There is lots of water on the course. The clubhouse did not offer any type of food other than chips. Keep in mind this was in the middle of February so I'm sure during spring and summer months the clubhouse has a much better variety. With that said they should have atleast sold some hot dogs. For the money there are much nicer courses out there.

Of course the course was not in the best condition but it's February. I was just happy to be playing. That being said the course was not that bad. We al agreed to lift clean and place.

I will go back for sure

course was in great shape, weather was beautiful

Greens are Fast and RollsTrue. Some bunkers has no sand. Others has too much sand.Fun Course.

Poor placement of yardage signs on each tee box. You can't see them unless you walk off the tee!

Also, very few yardage markers in the fairways.

Course layout is nothing too special, not too difficult, but the low price led to an enjoyable round. A lot of water, interesting dogleg par 5s where there are trees usually blocking your shot, and some elevation adds to the difficulty. Holes 2,3, and 4 are possibly the hardest 3 holes back to back in the area. Greens were in good shape, quite a bit of undulations on some especially with the pin placements. Would like to see more yardage markers, but otherwise a very enjoyable experience. I would definitely avoid the bunkers-they are rock hard with pebbles...not ideal.

Course was in great shape. Not a forgiving course for beginners or high handicap players. Very challenging for lower handcap players. Need to use all your clubs to keep ball in play

The worst thing about the course is the fairways did not seem to be watered, and yet sloped toward the water. had a few balls run off the green into some of the hazards, one hole, the 10th, water right in the middle of the fairway, having not played before hit a driver and easily bounce into the water if there were placards with distances would have used a 3 wood.

Sand in bunkers varied greatly in quality (yes I know better than to be in them!)

Staff was great and over all is a good value

Awesome course for price! Greens were a tad slow, but course maintenance was outstanding. Plus the beers were less than $3 a pop! Will defiantly be coming back soon.

Weather was perfect. The wind was a club or two on some holes, but still made for a fun round.

"The water comes into play on 12 holes." was the advice I got from the pro shop. He was right. A few of the holes are bordered by water, and others are a target practice to stay out of the drink.

Got paired up with two guys (Bob and Wally,) who made the round a blast.

Would highly recommend this course.

Nice course , in great shape . A little short with plenty of trouble Pay attention to plan placement , large greens .

The course has nice greens that are in good shape but the sandtraps need to be replaced with real sand

The Good: Western Chicago suburban course, tightly fit into a condo community, is appealing and quirky. Interesting, waterlogged layout has some very strong holes, in particular some strong Par 5's and driveable Par 4's. Nice fairway and rough conditions, as well as smooth, moderately small greens. Impressive clubhouse with nice banquet area and separate 19th hole. Nice staff and decent overall service. At around $50 during peak season, a good value for an overpriced Chicago market.

The Bad: There are several holes, specifically the Par 5's, that have hazards that require less than driver off the tee. Sand traps are in very poor condition. No driving range or short game practice area is a disappointment. Not much variety in the Par 3's. Limited on-course amenities with no GPS and only outhouses for restrooms.

The Verdict: Glendale Lakes is a short, unique course that can be fun to play, but not for golfers that want to "grip and rip it" on every hole. Needs on-course upgrades.

Best Hole: The dogleg right Par 5 #7 requires a great drive and approach shots must navigate sentinel trees guarding green.

Course was in good condition! The greens

We're airated early in the week but we knew that going in! Made putting a little more challenging than normal . Course has a decent layout with a mix of easy and difficult holes. Not very long so you have the opportunity to score. Great value

For the money, we paid $30 and played in

3:45 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon!

Great course to play on. Awesome greens and layout. Just really challenging with all the water hazards. I would recommend this course for anyone that is up for a nice challenge and wanting to enjoy the view

Great value and great condition for April!
