Nice muni

Thought of checking something different, went out of my way to go. Older ladies arent to blame entirely for slow pace

Starter and clubhouse staff were super nice and helful, gave some advice on harder holes.

Might be bc i was there on a random afternoon, but the land crew was out, but all good really.

Course was in very good condition. Statf was very friendly. SLOW round on a Sunday afternoon (5+ hour round) Great value for the money. The course layout (especially on the back nine) had a few holes where we were dodging some errant shots.

Great Bargain

Very enjoyable round the course was in great shape. Greens rolled true. I was concerned that the course would not be in the best of shape only because of the amount of rain the area has received, but that was not the case. The ground crew did a tremendous job

An Oldie but Goody

Overall I would highly recommend this course to anyone. While challenging it's fair. We did encounter the "assistant manager" playing behind us on the course who wanted to impress his friends by telling us we need to pick up the pace even though we had already played the front in two hours and still on track to do the same on the back or better. We held back telling what we really thought and continued on.

Reminds me of Deer Creek Golf Club. Great value for a round. Course was in shape for the time of year. Long rough that was not cut. Fairways and greens were cut and clean w/o any divot marks all over or dead grass. Would come back for value alone.

Grass was too long but fair for the price

Went this past Saturday- $30 with a cart is hard to come by these days. Course was beautiful- lots of challenging holes. Back 9 is a freakin beast! My only complaint is the grass needs to be cut. It was cart path only and our group lost a handful of balls that just missed the fairway because the grass was up to at our ankles. fairways were long too. This slowed our pace of play tremendously but luckily the course was wide open. Ended up being a 4 1/2 hour round but we enjoyed it thoroughly. This place is top 10 in the area if they just get a lawn mower out there lol.

A classic, vintage course in nice shape

Last played Glenwoodie in 1998(!). It has aged quite well. In spite of recent rains that left the course a bit spongy in spots (90-degree rule), it was in fine shape - especially greens and tee-boxes. Layout is a basic down and back on the front nine, with some challenging interaction with a deeply-ravined creek on the back nine. Get your good scores carded on the front if you can, as the back is considerably tougher.

Nice clubhouse, good hot dogs, and friendly staff only added to the experience on a sunny, warm day in Mid-May. All around positive experience, which came about only because our originally booked course (the nearby Balmoral Woods) imposed cart-paths only, which our senior-aged legs can no longer handle. Now that the “Woodie” has been rediscovered by our group (after only a couple decades!) we’ll likely add it to the rotation.

Of course, a par-saving 35-ft big bender putt on #18 sure helped the ol’ attitude! Seriously though, the greens were terrific: consistent, firm and true - the best we’ve played on yet this year.

Good course, questionable organization

Really liked the course. Conditions were good, it's fun, it's scorable, and the people there were very nice.

It's a huge bummer when you get to the first tee box and it's a 40 min delay on a mid-morning Saturday. The Starter said that the first group of the day was late, so THEY HELD THE GROUPS BEHIND THEM UNTIL THE FIRST GROUP BOTHERED TO SHOW UP.

That's insane. Your job as a starter is to get the groups flowing on the course. If someone's late - it's their fault. Get a group that IS THERE on the course and get it going. Or whoever in the late group can skip ahead and join whatever hole that group is on once they get there.

Every following group was ticked off. My group ended up bailing after a near three hour front nine. Probably won't ever come back on a weekend.
