Glacier Club

After playing Florida courses for the winter it was great to be back home in Michigan and play on real grass!

Glacier was in really good shape and not overly crowded which made for excellent pace of play.

The course is challenging but Very enjoyable!

A great deal for the price especially for seniors.

Definitely will be back

There werent many leaves on the course and it was in great shape for late october golf. I enjoyed this course and would recommend it.

Very nice course . Some elevation , tight fairways and greens that roll like a pool table make it challenging for a beginner golfer. Also wasnt real fond of all the houses that line the course. But i will say the fairways and greens were top notch. I was also very impressed how few leaves were on the course compared to alot of these other courses ive played.

Tough course for low skill player

Couldn't beat the price to tee off at 3:30 PM on Labor Day. However, there was a member outting finishing up in front of us that made the pace of play extremely slow. I don't think any member in that outting fixed a ball mark all day. I would routinely fix 4-5 on every green, this made for some very poor putting conditions.

Good course but pace of play was brutal.

Course is certainly worth playing.

I booked a twosome tee time for 645 am. 2 foursomes went off before us. The pace was so slow with no monitoring that we did not finish our round until 11:25 or so. We were on the tee box with the foursome in front of us nearly every hole. Otherwise, the course was great and the staff was very friendly. I will go back, but it should not take nearly 5 hours for a twosome that early in the morning, ever. My last experience at this course was much better.

Glacier Club is a course that gives off the impression of an upscale experience but provides almost no enjoyment in the process. More than half of the holes have slopes leading to cart paths which have out of bounds lines on the immediate opposite side of them as the course is densely lined with houses. Several times in my group yesterday, well hit tee shots would hit the fairway, and then catch slopes that would send them into a backyard and out of bounds. Beyond that, the greens are nearly impossible to hold, even with a short iron or wedge. If you are able to keep your ball out of the hundreds of backyards and hold the green, you then have to deal with some of the most ludicrous slopes and hole locations I have ever seen in my life. Several holes were located on top of slopes that looked to mirror a miniature golf course, and would have been physically impossible to hit an approach shot within 15 feet of. Glacier Club has a high slope rating, and it is a difficult course to score on, but not because it's a tough test of golf. It is more so challenging because it penalizes good shots as often as it penalizes bad shots. Additionally, some of the holes (#8 comes to mind) have a layout so contrived that you can really only laugh at what faces you off the tee.

In terms of conditioning, the fairways and tee boxes are in good shape, but the greens are bumpy and the course is very poorly marked. Tee boxes are not marked, very few sprinkler heads are marked in the fairway, and the 100/150/200 plates were often not the correct distance from the green.

Lastly, our 18 hole weekday round took well over 5.5 hours and the rangers absolutely refused to do anything to help out. As other reviews here indicate, pace of play is a serious problem at Glacier Club.

The overall conditioning of Glacier Club is not terrible by any means, but this was my third time playing the course, and in my opinion, it is neither a fun, nor fair, test of golf.

I think we got stuck behind a group headed by someone important because they played a 4 team 4 man scramble at 20 minutes per hole. They were driving the golf cars up on the tees and greens and there was way too much beer involved. The Rangers seemed to ignore them.

Tough course that takes a few times to figure out. Shot 99, 107, 91 then 82 today the first four times I played this course respectively.

Lacking in amenities, example is restaurant food. All that is offered is hot dog/ chips along with a cart girl to provide drinks on the course. They want to be considered as up scale but are far from it. Club house is like a converted barn the so called resturants which is not functional at all with the exception of restrooms.

When I saw men wearing tank tops and groups driving three carts it became clear they only want money. They survive beacause of the residents ,reason being it is in there backyard.

If it wasn't for Hot deals on GolfNow they would be in a bind.

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.

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!

Over 3 hrs. to play 9 holes. Could not even putt on the 18th hole, it was covered in goose feces ! Staff knows & does nothing about it.

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.

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.

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.
