Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 03/2019.

Glen Lakes Municipal Golf Course not only provides a good game of golf but also excellent practice facilities and a learning center that offers free lessons. The course features several lengthy par 3s and par 4s. It is beginner friendly but it also offers plenty of challenge to the experienced golfer. Water comes into play on nine holes and the rolling terrain creates tricky uneven lies. There are also strategically placed bunkers protecting the greens to watch out for. Glen Lakes Municipal Golf Course boasts outstanding practice facilities including a lighted driving range that stays open late and in the summer there are misting systems to keep golfers cool.

WHERE IS THE LOVE ???

We played (walked) 9 holes.. It would be a great little walking course if if was kept up. There just doesn't seem to be any maintenance done there. (My yard looks better than the greens and fairways). Course was difficult on the shorter shots because it was so inconsistent. Greens have bare numerous bare spots and no apparent housekeeping. (Twigs and leave son some). Fairways and approaches were not consistent (some mowed, some not so much, with a lot of muddy spots even though they weren't 'green', as in watered. Most ball cleaners were dry. Really confusing in middle holes, crossing back in front of other holes several times. Will not return.

Fun course with good layout. Some sand and water to be aware of. Greens slow with a fair amount of ball chatter.

Please water the course. The gentleman working the pro shop is very cordial. The pace was great on the course. Money and time must be going into the driving range. (The range is fantastic!!)

Quick way to get 9 in

This is a fairly easy course and also a nice walk. The surrounding neighborhood is not that great but the course is safe and in good shape for a nine holer. Paired up with a funny guy who is a regular and that makes it interesting. This has a good mix of par threes fours and one five (as I recall)

Great little course

I was not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. 6 Par 4s put this a notch above most exec courses. Decently maintained and a good layout. Will not win any beauty awards, but a nice course. Spent 20 mins talking to the owner, a super nice guy. Will definitely go back.

TEEMING WITH MOSQUITOES, GRASS NOT MOWED

The person behind the counter was actually sitting on a sofa near the back and talking on his cell phone.

The grass was very long and filled with mosquitoes.
I had eight sucking bugs on my legs on the first fairway!
I walked in after five holes. I could not concentrate for slapping my legs and killing the mosquitoes.
I told the fellow in the shop why I had to quit and he said "Oh, really?'

The mosquitos are wicked bad. The pro shop actually has repellent wipes for you. and they worked. But this guy is right, if you don't use repellent, you'll have dozens on them sucking on you. The course should bleach the lake. But with repellent, they will leave you alone, and you won't notice.

Greens are perfect!

Finally.. after a very long summer, some decent greens to putt on. They are mowed tight, and summer seeding turned out great! The rough is US Open conditions. !!! You will lose balls if you don't hit them straight. I love this lay out! If you play from the tips, I hope you brought all your clubs. You'll need em, and that's all you can ask for from an exec.

My favorite executive course

I've played here quite a few times, and I love this layout. It's a great little practice course. It isn't a pristine facility, but it isn't in terrible shape, either. In fact, I love the fact that there are a lot of risk/reward holes on this course. If you are accurate with your driver, you may just find yourself with an eagle. I prefer to lay up. And it serves me well.

My one beef with this course is that the driving range uses mats instead of grass. Otherwise, I foresee myself playing this course a lot in the future.

This course is a fun layout.

This executive course was fun to play. The greens were a little on the slow side.
