Well maintained course

The course was in fine condition for this time of year.
Some forgiving fairways and large greens.
The back nine is challenging.
Great place to play golf.

long day

Wonderful course found online problem is to many people think they are professional player's. They can barely hit it past the white tee's.when there on there 6 shot and you drive it over there heads your the problem. Maybe if there was a ranger it may be quicker 5 1/2 hours way to long for 18 holes.

$13 for this course is a steal

This time through the course was sooo much better. Some rough was a bit shaggy so thinning but hey it's fall season. Tee boxes weren't torn up fairways were in nice shape for the time of year. Bunkers do need to be raked with the tractor and smoothed more often and those who play out of the bunkers need to rake them when done. Our cart also lasted us the whole round where as last time they didn't charge them enough and went through 3 carts. This time the weather for being overcast and a bit windy didn't really effect the course too much. In the spring it made the course play even harder especially on the uphill holes. Nice undulation on the greens but not so they are tour difficult either. Holes vary nicely in length and many test your skills a lot. They removed the stumps from trees they removed too bad they didn't replace them as with them it was a traditional layout without them it's a wide open parkland or a links style without burm and loads of sand. Glad to see them turn things around a bit for a better time out this fall and for $13-20 it's worth it over say coyote run or joe louis.

This is a very good course for the money....Fairways are tree lined and generous....The back nine is a lot harder than the front in my opinion....Enjoyed my round

Rough is more forgiving than other courses

I was initially skeptical to play here considering I heard the course has very unforgiving rough. I was surprised that not only the pace of play but the ease at witch I found my balls off that tee that drifted into rough areas. The course layout is nice and pace of play was good especially considering the landscapers were moving and tending to the course while we played; they managed to stay out of the way so no complaints,

Easy front; challenging back; very good condition

Perfect weather day on this well-kept course. Rough was a bit longer than the typical municipal course and staying in the fairway is a premium. Iron shots from the rough are difficult. Greens in excellent shape as were the fairways. Easy front nine with straight back-and-forth hole layouts. Nice par 3 at #3 plays longer than it looks. Back nine much more challenging. Expect your score to be at least 5-6 strokes higher. Four holes cross the creek and its surrounding valley. Great last-minute rate thru GolfNow.

Glenwoodie

Excellent Course, wide manicured fairways with lots of hazards. Greens were large, fast, and hole placement challenging. You had to keep the ball in play in order to score well. I will definitely recommend this course. Denny

not bad but could be alot better

Overall not too bad.I have played there a few times but there are a couple of problems as I see it.First there is no second cut in the fairways and the rough is quite heavy,a few times I missed the fairway be afoot or so and then it was almost impossible to reach the green.Also the bunkers are not good,they are very hard underneath with only alittle loose sand on top.Plus there was a leaque going out so we had to play the front 9 twice,and we did run into a couple of numbskulls out there but that can happen anywhere.

A long round

Got an excellent deal on golf now. I figured they'd be slammed on a friday afternoon, and they were. Unfortunately, I was 2nd or 3rd tee time after an outing. Staff seemed confused as to how to get the non-outing players off the first tee. Also, toward end of round, the course decided to put children (lessons) on the course in front of our 4some. I love this course. It's one I've played for almost 20 years now. I just hope they manage the play time better.

Everything was great. The only problem was the pace of play. We had a 4some ahead of us. They played sloooooow. Teeing up extra balls. The group ahead of them was two holes ahead. The ranger didn't say a word.

Bring a hammer

Enjoyed a round of golf with my buddy and another golfer that joined us. Course is in excellent condition except for the tee boxes. They are as hard as concrete. We could barely get our tees in the ground. I joked with my buddy, "Next time we play this course remind me to bring a hammer!". Get some water on those tee boxes! Otherwise, it was a great time.

Nice course, aweful clientele!

I really liked the holes I got to play. We could not finish the round. From what I have noticed some of the people that play here don't care about playing ready golf. It was busy but not that busy that after the four and a half hour mark we were only on the 13th hole. They have a sign posted in the club house stating that you must finish within 4 hours and 40 minutes but no one up holds that policy. Don't waste your time with this place unless you get the first tee time in the morning.
