Behind 3 Sum too much pushing us and hit the ball before we hit scond shot.
Even though we are not late, but the behind 3 Sum is keep pushing us, so we can not play well. Our play was done in within 4 Hours (around 3: 50 minutes).
Behind 3 Sum too much pushing us and hit the ball before we hit scond shot. Someone is hitting the balls in our fairway during we setup our Tee Shot.
Gate was opened, so we brought our cart to the parking lot, some staff said why you brought the cart to the parking lot. If the cart does not allow in the parking lot, the gate should be keep as closed.
Anyway we don't want to play this course anymore.
Competely feel bad.
Not good value for your money
The course was in very decent condition, but I have to say that it was not worth the $30 I spent. It was a neighbor hood golf course and some of the greens were butted up to other greens with a separation of only 7-10 feet. It made for a very hazardous putting experience wondering if the guys on the other hole were gonna hit up on you.
Course needs some maintenance
It's not the worst I've ever played, not close to the best in Chicago, and it's nowhere near the value I'd expect. Sand bunkers look like they've never been maintained with hard pack dirt. Also, tee boxes need significant work and there's more geese droppings than I've ever seen around the entire course.
Course plays tight because of the close proximity of nearby homes. Course also plays a little short, but it helps make for a quick round and a little funner play.
Otherwise the fairway and rough receive no complaints from me except for a few mud spots (blame it on the excessive rain lately). But overall, for $50+ it's not worth the value to come back and play again until they really put in some maintenance.
Time to show off
I always play well here and my friend always hit into the water!
It was my first time playing the course and I loved it. I plan to take a few friends next time

Nice conditions until you get to the greens
Interesting layout but could use some work. The bunkers need more sand, as is typical in the Chicago area. The greens are bumpy and the slowest I've seen in years. With the exception of the first one, the par 3's are repetitive. However, the 2nd and 10th holes are short/medium par 5's that are among the most challenging you'll find.
Bad condition
besides the aeration the course is still in terrible shape. Greens are long and super super slow.
Poor Upkeep
Could have been a nice course if it was properly taken care of. will not be returning
Worst golf course ever seen in my life.
Pudding green was worse than my back yard.
So much weeds that can not find ball I lost 4 balls.
Even $1.00 per play is not worth I don't know how did I find this
place. Please stay away this course.
Short but interesting layout provides a unique challenge
The Glendale Lakes course, though short, offers a unique challenge, with several short but tight par 4's, long par 4s and 5s for the average golfer, and abundant hazards providing a test for the shot maker. The course staff are friendly and helpful. The overall course condition could be better, but the layout is definitely worth making the trip.
Target Golf
This course is not very long at all. However, the challenge lies in hitting your spots. If you are off, you are either hitting houses, hitting water, or hitting woods. Any one of these situations can quickly turn the hole into a double bogey. Bring extra balls if you are a little erratic with your shots.
Great place to start your season!
Dismal weather has kept many of us off local courses til early May. If you're in my boat Glendale Lakes is a really nice way to return to the links. It's a tad short (5868 yds. from the white tees)
for the long boys, but for hitters like me it provides an early season confidence boost. As usual, the fairways are nicely maintained, the traps, though in need of some more sand, are raked smooth, and the fescue has been mowed to its shortest length in as long as I can remember. Which gives the eye an
interestng look at how the various lakes come into play on so many of the holes. The greens, though visually appealing, were cut at inconsistent lengths, and several were rather bumpy--a condition one might want to assign to the record amount of rain we've had. Having played here many times before I'm sure this is an issue that they'll address quite quickly.
Over all it is a good course to play for the price.
May be it is early in the season. Couse will get better as the season progresses.
the course is maintained well.
The agents were kind and the condition of fairway was good.
Bring plenty of balls
I've played here a number of times. This is not a course to play if you spray the ball. Lack of bailout areas make some holes much too difficult for the average golfer. The course played very hard and fast making hazards even more in play. Fairways and even roughs were like concrete. Bunkers were very poorly maintained. Small coating of sand over heavy clay base. Forget all you are taught about sand play...it won't work here.
Greens were marginal....hole locations were in some cases unfair on the edge of big slopes.
Challenging
Decent course, a couple holes don't make sense. Other than that, challenging, tons of houses/townhouses nearby, traffic, businesses. Because of all the nearby distractions, this course is not for me. Not the courses fault, I just prefer a more tranquil atmosphere.
Target Golf
An interesting Dick Nugent design with a good amount of sand and lots of water in play. 2 through 4, 10,12,13,17 &18 all require a plenty of accuracy to keep from blowing your score. Driver is not always the smart play, particularly on those holes. Course conditions are nearly always good but it can be a bit swampy when there's been some rain. No driving range.
very fair
the course is set up so you see most of the trouble from the tee, which makes the course fun to play
Glendale Lakes Golf Club
Great course, lots of water, need to lay up a lot, great par fives, carts are electric, fun course, greens are perfect, fairways are perfect.
