Death of Father in Law

My husband was on hole 5 when I called him to tell him my father who has been living with us died. I was an emotional mess. I told him I have to call McLaren Hospice to come in to confirmed my father passed. My husband asked for a rain check or the ability to come back another day. The person working in the pro shop said no rain check or refunds, gave my husband his business card and said call back another time and he'll see if he can do anything. Very disappointing..I used the dad's promotion code on Golfnow, thankfully for that. It's sad to think the Glacier Golf Course valued my 90 year old father's death worth less than $50

Hard but fair.

Glacier is an excellent test of golf, and in great condition. Dollar value here is excellent for the golf. They don’t serve any alcohol nor have an actual restaurant anymore so keep that in mind, but if you’re looking for a challenging well kept golf course for a reasonable price this is it.

Course was in great shape

The course was in great shape. Fairways and greens were well maintained. Pace of play should have been a bit better for a 7:20 Saturday morning tee time, but the course is difficult and the wind picked up.

The course is a very difficult, aurthur hills design. There are not many easy holes, or shots that do not require your full attention. The course is a great test of golf

Points of caution....

Good course.

Two issues -

1. They have signs saying that they will not give a raincheck under any circumstances. So folks booking this course need to be careful.

2. They have lost their liquor license. So not beer on the course.

Challenging but fair

Course never disappoints on being challenging . Expected slower play for a mid morning weekend tee time. Spend the extra time on the practice greens. You will need it.

Waste of money

The greens are the worst that I’ve ever played. No reception whatsoever, my friend and I’s shots would land on the front or middle of the green and rolled off the back nearly every time. Impossible to get any spin whatsoever, the ball bounces off of them. Layout was a bit boring, pace of play was pretty brutal for a Tuesday, with nobody really keeping groups ahead of us moving. Sat at every teebox for ~10 minutes before being able to tee off when we were on the back 9. They also don’t sell booze because their license got revoked apparently. Not worth the money at all.
