Bad Starter

I payed for a twilight round and the starter told us that the course was closed at 7:30 PM even though the signs on the door said “carts in by 8:40PM”. Told the starter that I paid for twilight and he just shook his head no and said we had to leave. Not going to be playing Glacier any time soon.

Slooooow

Way to slow. They send people off too close together. I would hesitate to play it again because it's more than an hour too much time.

Good course

I’ve played many many rounds here…

Pros

-Great course for the $$

-Conditions are typically good. Fairways groomed, roughs kept in check, nice tee boxes, good green complexes, nice sand, etc.

-Enjoyable course design. You will use all the clubs in your bag.

-Outdoor plumbing with restrooms on multiple holes (this is huge for lady golfers)

-Above average practice facilities, including range and putting/chipping green

-Nice golf carts

Cons

-Pace of play can be slow at times. Plan accordingly during peak times.

-Lacks “up north” feeling. It’s built throughout a subdivision, albeit a nice one. Not a problem for me but some people want the up north feeling with elevation changes and tree lined fairways. This isn’t one of those courses. (As a side note, the subdivision houses often create wind tunnels that create predictable wind direction conditions on many holes. Because of this, most of the holes often play down wind, especially the front 9, which can be fun once you catch on to these patterns)

And more recently…

They lost their liquor license (as of this review on 4-10-23) This might not matter to the sober golfer but I certainly enjoy throwing back a cold one while playing. I’m sure they are working to get this back as it’s a huge revenue loss, but it’s worth mentioning as a short term negative. Plan accordingly.

All in all, I enjoy this course. I’ve been playing here for years and I play here multiple times every year.

Good Day

The course was in very good shape for this time of year. The greens rolled nicely even though they had the aerations on them. Piece of clay was a little over 4 hours. Me and my playing Partners did put out a little fire off to the left of the 16th Green in the woods.

Decent course

Decent course with friendly bar tender. Pro shop offers little to no amenities. Maybe 4-5 different shirts with water and pop not much else. Staff is there but not exceptional. You would expect more for a golf club community.

Will keep your money even if there is bad weather

I played here and 2 of the 4 in my group did not show due to bad weather, however they automatically charged me for the other 2 rounds afterwards. They would not overturn this even after multiple phone calls through golfnow and directly to the proshop. Just be wary of that I guess good course otherwise. Definitely wont be playing here again though…..
