Glendale Lakes Golf Club

I've played Glendale Lakes multiple times over the years and this may have been the best condition it's ever been in. Usually the greens and tee boxes are hard but they were well watered as were the fairways. Biggest issue is clubhouse is closed for unknown reasons. While you can get a beverage at the pro shop , they don't offer any food options (e.g. hotdogs, brats, etc.). There also wasn't a beverage cart, which was tough since it was a very hot day.

The course was surprisingly not packed on Memorial Day and the pace was wonderful. The greens were smooth and fast. The fairways were in great condition and well watered, especially considering other courses I have been to recently were hard snf and brown. The bunkers have a lot of black dirt in them and were a bit crusty, but still very playable. A great day and I will be back.

Nice course lots of water gonna lose some balls if you don’t hit great

It was a great day with friends at a wonderful course with a great layout. Will definitely be back for more play at this course!

Played saturday in a foursome. The course is fine in terms of challenge and teh greens and fairways were in good shape. The bunkers aboslutely need investment and maintenance, they are the worst bunkers we have seen in the west/northwest suburbs. That fact makes it not a great value. Also, we had to deal with very slow play especially on teh back nine, and no rangers were monitoring the course (or if they were, they took no action).

I rate this course just fair.

I HAVE PLAYED MANY DIFFERENT COURSED IN THE PAST , BUT THIS IS THE ONLY COURSE WHICH HAD A RANGER TO KEEP THINGS MOVING ALONG.

PACE OF PLAY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO SPEND 5-WHATEVER HOURS ON THE COURSE.

GOOD WORK GLENDALE LAKES GOLF COURSE!!!!

This was my first return visit in several years, but my memory of the poor bunker conditions remains intact. While I thought the practice green and greens were generally in good shape, the biggest playability issues during my visit were shaggy tee boxes that seemingly hadn’t been mowed recently and bunkers that continue to lack much if any sand. During my round I found myself in 3 bunkers and only one kind of had sand. Many of the bunkers I observed in the fairways or around the greens looked more like rock quarries than sand bunkers. Another golfer in my group commented that he would even attempt playing shots from those bunkers as damaging a $150 wedge wouldn’t be worth it.

To course management I suggest you fill in any bunkers that you are unable or unwilling to take care of as it would make more sense to reduce the number of bunkers to whatever quantity you can take care of as right now your bunkers make for a poor experience.

Course has a very unique, narrow layout. Many blind pin locations and curved fairways. Fun course
