True links style golf course

If like links golf this course has it. Excellent greens fairways and tees, the only thing with this course was the club house needs some work and amenities. Pace of play was 4:15 for four players.

Up north look!!

First time playing the course and I was very impressed with the condition of the course due to lack of rain in the area.

The course had an upnorth feel with the layout it had as it was very challenging.

Would definitely play it again!

Challenging Layout

I played this for the first time and I am a 16 handicap and a few holes -- I would have played four holes completely differently because of tight fairways lined with homes. Nice course and staff were wonderful! Went on Fathers day - rangers were extremely helpful.

Course has 6 min. tee times. EXTREMELY SLOW pace, regular occurrence. Fair conditions, bunkers terrible. Management unfriendly. Cheap green fees. Rangers have no authority to move slow groups.

Good day on the golf course

The course was in excellent condition and the pace of play was quick (3 1/2 hrs). There was a beverage cart but she didn't ask if we wanted anything either time she came by. (?). Greens were fast due to lack of rain but they rolled smoothly.

approach shot critical

Caught up to two slow foursomes on the back nine but weather was perfect and the course fun. New condo construction detracts from the view but course layout not negatively impacted. Missing the green on many holes means very difficult wedge shots, so plan your approach shots carefully.

Backup on First Tee

We had a tee time for 7:42 and when we arrived at the first tee at our allotted time there were 3 other groups in front of us. The starter was very apologetic however we did not get off until almost 1/2 hour after our tee time. The entire 18 holes we waited on every tee shot. It was extremely slow. The price was good, but I will definitely think twice before going back there again. The pace of play was just too slow. The course itself was in good shape.

Glacier Great Condition

Played Saturday morning as the first group out, only a twosome as the others did not show up. Course allowed us to go out and course is in excellent shape, greens are smooth and fast and rough is tough. A lot of construction going on around the course but still in great shape

Very Well Kept Course

They do a fantastic job of grooming the course at The Glacier Club. It's kept as good as any course I've been to. It's a pretty challenging course but fair. The pace of play varies but the price always seems to be reasonable which makes it ok if you do fall into a long round filled with waiting.

Classic Arthur Hills Design

Course is in great shape, especially for lye in the season. Greens had just recently been airated but you could tell they have taken the time to roll them and get them back into playable conditions. The course itself is challenging but fair. I am a 4 handicap and shot 79 from the black tees which are second to the back. All par 3s vary in length which is my pet peeve for some courses where you hit 7 iron on the four par 3s. Play this course and you won't be disappointed. Ranger on the course on a Monday means they care about the pace of play. Enjoyable all the way around.

Fun Course

The pace of play was a little on the slow side. However, it was Sunday with great weather late in the season so people were trying to get in their last few rounds.

The course makes you use all the clubs in your bag. The greens were in great shape (aeration had not started yet) and were challenging.

Go play.

Scenic course, good conditions a fun challenge

I thought glacier club was up there with the likes of greystone, not quite as picturesque buy a nice course. I don't love the houses so close but playing early and no one bothers you, and they're beautiful so certainly not complaining. The greens are in ok shape, no fault to the course tho, I didn't see a single person on any green I passed fix a ball mark all day, I was fixing as many as I could within reason but the laziness of other golfers impacts the conditions for everyone. Pace of play was good, I was paired up with a peculiar father son combo but they were friendly enough, a little slow but again not the courses fault. The greens are FAST when it's dry, lots of elevation changes and multi tier greens but it keeps it fun! From the tips it's 7,139 yards but it didn't seem ridiculous, a nice variety of hole shapes, distances, hazards etc. Overall very happy I played here, if you're on the fence at least try it one time and see what you think

Glacier On the Upswing

First, Glacier's new management is doing a really good job of bringing this course back from several years of neglect. Tee to green course condition has dramatically improve...IMO a 4 on a 1 - 5 scale.

Greens are comparable/better to other local public courses...greens roll fast and true - best feature of the course. Fairways in good shape.

Rough and areas off fairway still need attention in certain areas...some bare spots and areas needing TLC (many holes lined by homes relatively close to the course...); however, understand course conditions will continue to improve as management executes their 3-year plan. Traps could also use some additional sand and TLC...several are very thin on the sand quantity).

Friendly employees, driving range significantly improved/upgraded - facility upgrades are looking good. One of the best values available in the area...the weekday Senior special is especially attractive.

# greens

Greens were on poor shape, not so much the fault of greens keeper as it was the fault of lazy golfers who would not repair ball divots.

Fun and challenging course

Lots of elevation changes on this course. Water and hazards are well placed on most holes. Several position-golf holes force you to use most of the clubs in your bag. It was raining in the morning and there was some standing water on the course. But drainage seemed to be reasonable. Greens were in decent shape and fairly quick, even though it was wet. Houses along the fairways are sometimes placed in really precarious positions ( ;-) ). Despite the rain and the fog, this was a fun round.
