Sylvan Glen Municipal Golf Course

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

I have played Sylvan Glen many, many times. I enjoy the course. You can walk and play without long walks to tee boxes or many hills to climb. The front nine is more challenging, as their final 3 holes, 7-9 have two difficult Par 3's and a tough finishing Par 4 in #9. Have played White and Blue Tees. My favorite part of the course are the Par 5's. Each are protected with various obstacles, but all 4 are reachable in two, which I find fun. Not easily done, but Eagles are possible.

Golfnow should of noted 5 greens were unplayable. I would not play here until green conditions are addressed. It's only worth $20.

This course is going on my list of repeat places to play. Our foursome had a great time here. We let one twosome play though and were never pushed. I shot my lowest round of the year!

never play this course unless you have 5 hours or more to waste.

Sylvan Glen is a great golf course, well maintained with a few very challenging holes. Course is always in good condition. Greens are always in good condition with medium speed. My only negative about this course is if you want to play on a weekend and you're in a hurry, go somewhere else. I teed off a half hour after my schedule tee time because it was so backed up. The round took just under 6 hours

Great time! First time at this course. Friendly people. Back nine were less busy.

The facility was bustling when we got there and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was well maintained and wide-open, making it hard to loose that occasionally mishit ball. In general a fun course for a high-handicapper.

This golf course has a unique party feel to it with the well-placed outside deck at the clubhouse. It's fun to sit there after the game and see how about 80% of golfers slice the ball off the first tee into the scattered trees or the adjacent fairway. It made me feel a little better about my golfing abilities, or lack thereof. The food was definitely above average for a public course.

Overall we really enjoyed the day and will be heading back there for more. Recommended.

Great old style course that really tests all facets of your game

All around good quality course. Four holes on the front nine parallel two very busy noisy roads which I find distracting. Greens are excellent despite heavy play,

Due to all of the rain lately, we did not get a gas cart and needed to use a pull cart, therefore, only able to play 9 holes...

Always well maintained and offers a challenge on every hole.

Classic parkland layout reminiscent of another time. An enjoyable course for any level of golfer.

Decent course, well maintained. Not too difficult, but does include some challenging holes.
