Glacier Club

I didn’t play because I was diagnosed with covid the day before and I couldn’t reschedule my date. I lost $70. In todays times this is an issue and will not be using Tee Off any longer or Golf Now.

I have been playing at Glacier for the last 12 years. The golf course condition has improved so much when the new owner bought Glacier sometime ago. If you live around, you have to play here!

I have not been to the course in while. It was in fantastic shape. The course lets me win a few holes but eventually it wins. Staff is very friendly and pace of play has always been great. Not quite as nice as Orchards or Greystone but very close and cost is usually about 30% less. Have already booked another round

1. close to 5 hours on a Tuesday afternoon but it didn't feel overly slow.

2. greens are funt, lots of breaks you don't see.

3. houses only come in to play a few times, don't let the reviews discourage you that claim otherwise.

4. TONS OF TICKS!!! I literally stepped a foot into some brush and had 3 on my right leg... then found another on my left.

4. would I go back? maybe. but it wouldn't be one of top 10 choices.

I understand there are alot of new golfers but also they should not play the tips when they cant even pass the average tee boxes( white) the starter just laughed after the one person hit three balls . On a cold or twilight time, i understand, but not on a 75 abd sunny sunday. The starter cared more about his cigar smoking buddies then the 15 groups behind.

We teed off right on time at 1:30 PM. We shook hands on the 18th green at 6:20 PM.

Simply put, there were too many players on the course at one time with all par fives featuring at least three foursomes and one case there were four. We saw one ranger who drove right past us.

We waited, and sometimes quite a while, on every single shot.

I play here most Sundays from late April thru September and every other Saturday. Entirely different course from the blue or black tees v the whites.

Low spots get water logged after a heavy rain, but the greens are always in good shape & challenging regardless of the weather.

No green is flat and slope as follows:

R - L: 1, 5, 6, 7, 9 , 10, 14,

L - R: 18

B - F: 2, 3, 4, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17

Landing position on your tee shots especially important on 1 (tree in middle of fairway), 5 (pond), 8 (penalty area), 15 (ponds on the left for entire carry), 17 (heavily bunkered on left and pond on right) and 18 (pond on left for entire carry and fairway bunker along right side).

Glaciers is deceptively challenging. It is a true test of golf. It is not tripped up to look difficult and not be. I think it’s the best players course in Macomb county.

Course is immaculate, as always. Only exception is apparently no one fixes ball marks. I must have fixed 4 or 5 on every hole. Second, this is already a tough course, with tricky greens, but nearly every pin today was in what I would call championship location. C'mon, we're amateurs! Last, there was a foursome of residents in front of us that we waited 2-3 minutes on every shot. 5 hours 10 minutes to play today and my group is usually done in just over 4.

Worth the effort! Nice greens and layout! But slow paced.
