Very Wet

While we have had our share of rain, Glendale Lakes truly was like a lake. The course doesn't drain well and while walking on the fairways, I constantly could hear the plopping of my steps. The course was very wet, which kept ball rolls to a minimum. The course required cart path only. The course also has yet to bring in a kitchen staff so no food is available except some snacks. I hope they resolve this soon although it has been more than eight months since the last time I saw food options.

Major Let Down

Been here multiple times and this was the worst. Players waiting for carts to be pulled up. No distinction for pin placement. 70 degrees and CPO? Even the starter was confused why. Said it was a maintenance call but no rain so why?

Decent shape for winter consitions

Course is now more open after some tree removal, some sand traps also filled in before spring renovations, biggest challenge was the copious amounts of goose droppings on many holes and tee boxes. Overall - good early season price for conditions that were less than ideal.

Windy weather
Used cart

sand traps are dirt

The sand traps are mosly dirt and unexcepable. This has been going on for a few years. They didn't do a good job keeping the leaves clear so it was difficult to find your golfball and it slowed play. It took 3 of us over 4.5 hours to play 18. The fairways and greens were in good shape.

Nice course. Some holes are tight with water where you are likely to miss. The course was in great shape with nice tough greens. We will be back.

Solid course

Played this course during the summer and fall. Both times playing the course was kept in very good shape. Fairways are clean and greens are exceptional for the price of play. They always have online deals so be sure to check for those before booking. Overall, the staff is nice and the starters are considerate people. The course offers many different looks in terms of layout. It’s not that long of a course but does have obstacles that require you to play distance shots. It does get a little backed up at the end of the round due to 2 Par 3 holes being back to back. Outside of that, no complaints here. I’ll be back next year!

Glendale lakes

Nice staff, very easy to walk up as a single. Course was in pretty good shape. Bunkers need work but it looks like they are in progress of doing that for next season. Greens played well. Overall for the prices it is hard to beat.

Good course, no amenities

The course was in great shape! They had cart path only because of heavy rains the last few days, which is understandable, but no prior warning when booking. Just, surprise! But that happens... No concessions. There's a fridge with some drinks, candy and chips. Understandable for a cheaper public course. Could use a hot dog or something. Might be a little picky but compared to most of the public courses in the area they're definitely lacking. The guy in the pro shop and the starter are also a little ornery for having to do so little. Seems like we were being a burdenn just showing up to golf. I try to be fair so three stars. Great course, would love to play it again but probably never will because of everything it's missing. Use this for what it's worth to you :)
