Fast Round

Great pace of play, loads of water, decent conditions, easy greens, a bit pricey for the level of course, really nice employees, not a ton of food/bev options.

Challenging for a high handicap golfer

I like this course. It is a challenge if you don’t stay in the fairway. There are a lot of water hazards to contend with. I highly recommend the course.

Great Condition for the Weather

I felt the course played fast, but it is still very, very early in the season. The greens were extremely slow, but I believe this is due to the season. There were a couple holes that were especially challenging, but I enjoy my round overall and would play again.

Course in good shape

I've played Glendale Lakes numerous times. For it being early in the season, the course was in very good shape. The bunkers needed though to be raked and they were missing rakes. I was happy to see the bar has reopened so friends could enjoy the 19th hole.
