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.

I've played many times because it's close to my house and its very cheap....they could take a little bit of care on the greens. It's pretty bad but great price if you want to get out and play a quick nine holes

Great Value

Overall, the course was in pretty good shape. The greens were very slow and a little bumpy. It’s not especially difficult, but on some holes, the water hazards are not visible from the tees. Six par-4’s is nice for such a small course. It was fairly busy when I played in the afternoon, but it only took me about an hour and a half to finish when walking.

Needs some cleanup

I have played this course scores of times in the past, but this was the first time in about a year. The new management has re-routed holes 4-9, which works out OK for the most part, except it is a bit awkward waiting to cross in front of the 4th hole tee box to get from the 7th green to the 8th tee. The greens and fairways are in decent shape in general, but the rough needs some attention. There are several stacks of dead tree limbs scattered around the course. Most look like they have been there for weeks, maybe months. Still a decent course for a quick practice round.

We had no trouble getting a tee time. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Greens were well maintained.

One can use almost every club in your bag, even though there are no par 5's. Very tight executive course, but fun to golf. Greens were in good shape and not real difficult. Fun course. We walked it as many others did. It is a 9 hole course and we played it in 1hour and 45 minutes. Even waiting for slower players.

Course Staff had no information about my reservation

Although I enjoyed playing golf here, when I arrived the staff had no reservation for me. They spent some time to try and find my reservation, but couldn't find it. I showed my reservation number on my iPhone (I booked it through the golfnow app).
They let me play, but asked me to come back afterwards to talk to the owner/manager.
Afterwards they still couldn't find my reservation.

BEWARE BOOKING ONLINE

I've been playing this course for over 35 years and I frequently book online thru GolfNow. I guess there is new management at this course and they would not honor the details of my online booking claiming GolfNow made a mistake in the deal they posted and the COURSE WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE for it. Quote, "Why should we have to pay if they made a mistake?". It was a simple error as to whether a cart was included. I've grown to trust and appreciate these deals thru GolfNow and I've never had a problem at any other course before today. I'd recommend playing at Desert Mirage or Palo Verde if you want to book online.

this course is a great little test of golf. Nice layout.

If I would have to pick a 9-hole course to play, it would be Glen Lakes. Great short course.
