Glad to come back

It has been a few years since playing there. We stopped going because of all the geese. And there droppings. You had to watch where you walked. Well happy to see they're gone. I did see any geese. Now it is very nice and challenging place to play

Great Value, Tough Layout

My only real complaint is no driving range. Other than that it’s a challenging course at an affordable price.

Decent enough

They run good deals, but I’d probably only play here on a deal or twilight. Be aware that tee times are staggered 8 mins apart and it takes ~14 mins on average to play the average par 4, so you will likely be waiting on most tee boxes if it’s somewhat busy on the course. We had a 3:30 tee time and finished the 18th at 8:00; probably spent ~30 mins waiting for traffic in front of us. The course is in decent shape, the greens are slow and soft, and the tee boxes are okay. This course is also tight with houses on almost every hole, so be aware if you aren’t the straightest shooter.

Great track for the money

Lots of water bring plenty of balls. Great layout, greens and fairways are in great shape, the sand traps were in dire need of sand and that is being addressed they were dumping sand in all the traps this week, clubhouse is dead we were the only ones grabbing a beer after the round. All employees were very nice and treated us well.

Some fairways soft, some greens slow

I played Glendale Lakes last week as well. The green speed was better. Some of the fairways are soft - the ball lands with no roll. The rough is thick in spots. Glendale Lakes is a decent course.

Slow Greens

It was a cool day for August, a few raindrops, and a little windy. The greens were much slower than I'm used to so it took an adjustment. The course conditions were excellent. Glendale lakes is a great option if you don't want something too challenging. The starter was very friendly. We played in 3 1/2 hours. A good deal.

Quality course

Very lush well maintained course. The tips are short, but water hazards and placement shots make it feel much longer. A good challenge. Bunkers could use some love.

Perhaps forward, forward tees

For we septuagenarians, our rounds were good. These days good means less than bogie golf.We had fun but it is interesting to note that 15 over translates into a handicap round of about 22+.(forward tees - forget the handicap, I had fun)
