Sylvan Glen Municipal Golf Course

I knew the weather was going to be record highs for November and could not wait to play golf with my friend.

First off the bar tender was mean to us and the beer selection was garbage. We were in a hurry to get to our tee time and the bar tender snottily told me she would not sell me beer unless both people were present (I've never had a golf course do that before!) I usually buy the beer while I'm waiting for my friend to show up, dress or pay etc.. Then there was a beer limit of 2 cans. Then they only had Coors light and blue light. :( I felt this was bad service.

We are waiting to tee off the first tee. No one seems to be playing even though there is a long line of golf carts waiting! These guys in front of us were so unbelievably slow. I have never seen this rate of play before. I mean we are trying to beat the sunset and these guys won't tee off until the greens are clear on par 4 holes. On the first hole, they are waiting around to hit their second shot, to the point where I keep asking are they shooting on our fair way or are they shooting from a different fairway?

I just really wish the course had a course ranger out so they could kept the pace of play. We skipped ahead of the sunshine bogarts and the guys in front of them kept waiting to hit their second shots which weren't very good. One time they waited for the greens to clear and then started trying to find their ball! My friend and I were in total disbelief.

Bummer that the last golf day of the year is something to complain about.
*Our tee time was 3:40 | sundown was 5:30 | we had to skip 3 holes!

Beautiful, fair and long course with fast greens. Park 3'so are challenging. Excellent experience.

We play here alot and always have enjoyed the layout. Course was in good shape. Greens rolled true considering they had beem aerated a few weeks ago. Decent value. We will return.

went by my self in the rain and still had a blast.
I thought the course was EXCELLENT !. I will be going back four sure, and will bring some people with me next time.

There was no beverages available. No food. No cart. The deal on golf now was the same price. Also they give first come first serve.

Course is always in great shape. Never gimmicky, but a decent challenge nonetheless. Some of the older starters are super cranky, but this is still one of my favorite courses.

I have played here many times. I like the course as it is within the proximity (less than 10 min from my residence). Since, this is within the city, I am aware that the pace of play is a little slow. I played with my teenage son (he is a beginner) and chose this course as there would not be pressure to rush. I could play 18 holes in decent time (I took about 4 hrs to complete). Course maintenance is good and it is challenging for beginners but moderate for the average golfer. My son enjoyed this course, as he could hit without losing the ball. Not much of water and woods.
Overall, I am happy with the course, though the price is slightly higher.

Course was worth it for $17 just give yourself 5+ hours to play 18, pace of play was real slow. Tough to enjoy a round when you have to wait 5 minutes between shots.

My friend and I arrived about 20 minutes early for our tee time to putt and warm up. The starter growled at us, 30 seconds after we arrived, that we should go off 15 minutes early because the group set to tee off in front of us hadn't gathered their third player. We hurried, generally welcoming the chance to tee off early. Meanwhile, the group that was supposed to go off in front of us stood on the tee box while we teed off, with no idea why we were going first. After about 5 holes, the same starter drove a FIFTH, apparently late, player to the 6th tee for the group in front of us. We waited on every. single. shot. When we bought the fivesome to the attention of the starter at the turn (which he was already aware of), he snarled at us that they were keeping up with the group in front of them (they weren't, they were a hole behind and didn't allow us to play through, despite the starter seeing this and us asking). I have never been to ANY course that allowed fivesomes. Most reprimand groups that try to play with 5. Not here. I was actually snapped at for questioning this practice. Over 5 hours later, I'll never go back to this course. Slowest round of my life. Poor quality starter with no clue on how to manage the pace of play. Simply a joke. Worst golf experience in 15 years. This could have been a decent value on a beautiful weather day. It wasn't.

I play here often, I like when I can find deals to play here. The course likes to have 3 groups per hole which usually causes lots of waiting and back-ups on par 3's. This was a perfect time to go, not overly busy!

Good course.
Not too tough but some holes do pose a moderate challenge.

First off, I was forced to play in the rain because I pre paid days in advance and according to the refund policy I was only going to get refunded if the course was closed. Anyway, the course was great and I did enjoy it all while being drenched. I played from the back tees and experienced some challenging holes for sure. Will look forward to playing again in better conditions. I can't comment on pace of play really, because it was me and one other two some on the course.

Got a 4:54 tee time. Showed up 10 minutes early and there were two foursomes in front of me with tee times of 4:52 and 4:50. That's insane to think that 12 people tee off in that time period. The staff had no idea what do say to me either. It's simple, don't waste your time

Had to switch to their other course Sanctuary Lakes because no carts were being let out at Sylvan Glen. They were very accommodating to me and my foursome since I could not walk the course. Sanctuary Lakes golf course is one of the BEST courses I have played in a long time. It is a must at course and the deal through this app is spectacular! Will use this app much more frequently in the near future. Thanks! Pepsi products not my favorite and the course was very wet, but still very enjoyable.

Sylvan Glenn is the closest course to my house so even though it's my least favorite course in the area, I still check it out once in a while because of the convenient location and I end up regretting it every single time. It has very cooperate feel to it. There could be a women's league of walkers only and they will tell you...it's wide open, swing on up. Due to their extreme over booking of golfers the pace of play here is the absolute worst. Plus the starters start harping on you to bring the carts in when there are nearly 2 hours of light left in the evenings! Get there at 4:00 and you'll be lucky to get 12 holes in. If you can find a rare time slot in which the course is wide open, it has a pretty good layout and is pretty well groomed...just understand that you will be dealing with the most uncompassionate workers whose only concerns are to squeeze every penny they can out of you and then hurry you out as quickly as possible.

This course isn't worth more then $20 to play. But they charge almost double that. They have back to back par 3's in the front 9 and back 9. Which really slows the play to a halt. Took forever. Will not go back. Sorry, I wouldn't recommend.

Be prepared to spend an entire day at the course if you are playing on a weekend. We played the front nine in a little over 2:30 and the back wasn't any faster. When we made the turn I complained about the pace of play. The starter said that on the weekends, this was normal. He ended up giving me a voucher for a free round and actually said that he wouldn't play it either at that pace.

Even though the green were beat up from the winter, I've played this course when the green were in tip top shape, and the greens were still like carpet, bumpy, not maintained. I actually hit the green on a par 3 and the ball stuck in the green, the rain was 2 days earlier. The fairways are not short either and the rough looks like my backyard. The tee boxes are not even close to level. The sand traps are dirt traps, not sand. The only nice thing about this course is the layout, but it is not maintained well at all.

I have played Sylvan Glenn hundreds of times as I grew up very close to the course. It is a very playable municipal course which recently underwent private management. This has been both good and bad as new management has done a lot to create promotions and offer specials, but at times, it does not appear as though a lot has gone into course management.

The greens are very slow. One of the reasons that I am reluctant to play the course is the green speeds will affect how I putt next time I play.

The front 9 is more difficult compared to the back 9. The front nine features six holes where water has to be carried, though it only comes into play on 2-3 holes. No. 7 and No. 8 are back-to-back Par 3's which creates backups, as do No. 4 and No. 5 which are back-to-back Par 5's and are frequently filled with golfers who incorrectly think they have the length and accuracy to go for the green in two.

The back 9 is much easier with three Par 3's and the 18th hole which plays as a Par 5 but is really a long Par 4.

The course is generally well maintained and there has been increased ranger presence on the course which helps with pace of play.

Please do not play the back tees unless you are able to shoot par. Too many people think that they have the game to play from the blue tees only to see them shank their tee ball.

Apart from a few quirks in course design, a few areas which need some maintenance, and greens which need to run faster, Sylvan is an enjoyable and playable golf course.

Played here many times before, but this year they lost many of there greens to the very hard winter.
Would not play here until green problem are solved
