Be straight with your tee shots

Some moderately tight tee shots on the front nine. The course was in generally good shape with nice greens. Pace of play was very bad due to an outing even though the ranger(s) tried to help. Overall worth what I paid.

Great course but small greens

This course is always a good play but the greens are way to fast to be as small as they are. Par 5 greens were smaller than some par 3 greens. Nonetheless its a great place to play but make sure to bring your own drink as there isn't any drinking water available on the course.

6 minute tee times, really?

I'm one of the guys that plays golf early morning to avoid 5 hour rounds and the heat of the summer. So I was very disappointed when I got to the first tee at Glacier Club on Sunday morning for my 7:12 tee time and saw 6 foursomes on the 1st hole. (3 playing the hole and 3 waiting to tee off). Come to find out that their tee times are 6 minutes apart. In 20 years of playing golf I have seen 8 minute tee time but mostly it's 10 minute, never 6 minute. When I questioned the starter his response was it "opens up after 3-4 holes." When I explained that it would take us and hour to play those 3 holes he tells me they put gaps in the tee sheet to make up for it. Of course the gap is at 10 am almost three hours after we tee off only helping the people teeing off AFTER 10am. Then he tells me if everyone plays "proper golf" there would be no back up. What an improper thing to say as I watch the two groups hit balls OB and not take stroke and distance - which would actually take longer.

The only one the benefits from 6 minute tee times is GLACIER CLUB. They overbook the tee sheet assuming that a few people will not show up for their tee times so early and they can maximize their green fee potential. And if everyone shows like they did this past Sunday morning, they take your greens fee for your schedules time BEFORE making you wait a extra 20 minutes to tee off.

The course was in great shape for a $39 on the weekend. Maybe the guy making the tee sheet should take a lesson from the groundskeeper on how to satisfy their customers. Come on Glacier Club Management, you guys are better than this.

Glacier club still delivers!

Glacier Club is still a very well kept nicely manicured golf course. I haven't played there in years and was nearvous it deteriorated. I was pleasantly surprised it hadn't and still delivers a good challenge and well taken care of facility. Service was good also!

Good experience

Played in the hot part of the day and no water coolers on course, only issue. Being water, don't count on a bev cart. Course was in good shape. There were many ball divets on the greens that people should have taken care of but that isn't the fault of the golf course management.

Nice round

This was my second time playing Glacier Club in as many years. The staff was phenomenally welcoming and a joy to talk to. The course was good but not great. Many diviots that were not replaced so the fairways weren't amazing but outside of the diviots the fairways were nice and played well. The greens were extremely quick on 75-80% of the holes. The inconsistency on the few holes that were slower was frustrating. All in all a very good course with a solid pace of play. Great value for the $23 round we got on golfnow.com

Ron The Starter

The starter Ron has some anger issues. While I was Teeing up, he drove his cart in front of me and yelled, "I would have never let you out as a single". What kind of a person would do that? So if you like to go out and have a good time , try and stay away from Ron, he's out of control. This is the only reason I gave the course one star.

Hot and Humid

Played on sunday 7-19-15. Greens do not hold approach shots. Greens are very fast and undulating - can be frustrating. Bring your "A" game. Sand traps are poorly maintained, not raked at all. It is obvious that the mgt. is in a cost cutting mode as far as maintenance goes. No water coolers. Water fountains at the bathroom facilities don't work. No cart girl on a hot Sunday until after 10 am. Thank goodness we brought our own drinks. Pro shop is not a pro shop. More like a place to pay for golf, and nothing else.

Diamond in the rough

Excellent track. Diamond in the rough because I didn't expect the excellent value for the money. Front nine had lots of residential housing and back nine nowhere near being as populated. Starter and ranger kept pace of play consistent.

the difference

Played a few years ago, (old owners) course was really in bad shape and going downhill, and for what they charged did not intend to go back. Amazing what the new owners have done in just 1 year or better.
Course and greens are in really nice shape, give the greens another year, and the traps could be conditioned a little bit more, but playable.

overall ...night and day from 2 years ago....play this course, you'll love it
