Lakes is very appropriate.

This course has become one of my favorite courses to play. While the distances aren't the challenge, the fact that many of the fairways are over or near water poses the challenge. Decisions to lay up or attempt to go over are present on 4 of the 18 holes. Some of these fairways are narrow and it's important to be accurate. The Par 3's are short averaging 145 on the whites but pin placement can pose problems. Staff is awesome and the course is fun to play. I'll be golfing there 7 or 8 more times this season for certain.

Challenging Course

We liked the course due to water challenges which we don't have in AZ. I think the rough could have been mowed a little shorter. Hard to find the ball in it. Fairways and greens were manicured nicely.
Overall, nice course, friendly staff and beautifully laid out.

Great value

Nice course. Keeping the ball straight will reward you greatly on this course.
I believe 11 holes ( or more) has a water hazard, so bring plenty of balls. Lol.tee boxes, fairways, green we're all in good order.
I' ll be back.

Great value

I play this course a few times a year as they always have a great twilight rate. Course is usually in fair to decent shape. The course is not long, but water is in play on most holes, making it challenging and forces you to be accurate and smart. Overall good course for the fees.

Good challenge

Enjoyed the course. Somewhat short from the White tees but demands accuracy with tight fairways and lots of water.

Glendale Lakes Review

A challenging course with some tight fairways and water coming into play on many of the holes.

Call ahead to make sure that they are allowing carts on the course (weather dependent). Cart path only makes for a very slow round. Also, heavy rains make the sand traps unplayable.

The course name says it all - LAKES

If you have a lot of inconsistency in your shots then you might not enjoy this course too much because the rough is thick and water comes in play on many of the holes, so you're likely to loose a lot of balls. But if you're able to control the urge to just 'blast away' and want to work on accurate shot placement then this is a nice place to play. The course is in nice condition and the layout is challenging but not crazy. Play does run a little slow from time to time with a lot of novice golfers looking for their balls.

Challenging in the wind

Played in 25 mph winds and course took it toll. Condition of the course was fair, but I think many courses are having condition issue. Greens were a little slow but true. Have alwas liked that there is a lot of variety in the holes. Not a fan of having rough that is in the center of what would be normally be the fairway. will likely play again

nice

The course was all right compared to the fact that the season hasn't started. However it just didn't feel like the course was not what it could have been even at that moment

Unbeatable Value

Absolute best value of any course in the area. Could the fairways be nicer, sure, the greens faster, of course, should either of those prevent you from playing? Absolutely not. Short but challenging holes makes you think as opposed to grip it rip it golf. Really fun course and unbeatable pricing.

Winter has taken a toll on the fairways..

The greens are in decent shape.. but the fairways leave a lot to be desired...

Good value though as they have significantly discounted the tee time ..

very friendly staff...

Nice...But tight

Enjoyed the course and it was challenging. It was a bit tight with housing on some holes and there is definitely a good reason to have 'LAKES' in the name!
I would recommend, but bring an extra sleeve of balls - especially if the wind is blowing.

course was in good condition.

Pace of play was slow. Played first 9 holes, started @ 10:30am and took 2.5hrs. Too many groups of 2s were playing and some were even first time players and walking on a Prime time ( Saturday morning ). Rangers should have paired up these groups. My group decided to leave after nine disappointing holes of play.

The course was quite beat up.

The tees were good. The fairways were very well worn, assuming a combo of the rough winter and early play with cards. Greens must have been recently aerated, but no one told us.
