first time out

The personnel who work there were friendly. The course is in need of work. Some of the greens were half barren and tee boxes had little grass. Pace of play was pretty good. Overall this was my first time playing this year so i just wanted hit some golf balls. I would look elsewhere to play before returning until I get information that conditions have improved .

Good cheap course, clueless players and poor starter

Glades is the value brand golf course. Some of the greens are in decent condition, but most aren't and fairways are lousy. But it's a big open space to test stuff out and the price is right if you can play for under $20.

The starter was clearly overwhelmed when I was there and wasn't signing in people until our tee times came up on the clock, so my round began 20 minutes late. Instead of explaining what he was doing to all the people huddled around him, he was very rude to the golfers that would walk up to try to check in.

Some of the golfers only spoke Spanish, and some only spoke French, so they were confused about what was going on.
The only reason I bring this up is because nobody knew who they were grouped with by the time they got out to the tees. I played as a threesome and we had dummies in front of us playing as 4 pairs instead of two foursomes. The pace was dreadful until we drove up and asked that they play together as four. If the starter can't maintain order, they need a ranger out on the first tee. The course is too easy to be spending 5 hours on 18 holes.

Poor greens / Waited on holes 4-18

Very short course with most blue tee shots being around 300 yards or less. Greens are in poor shape.
Pace of play was really slow.

The Glades course will test your game

I have played this course many times and really enjoy it every time. The layout is nice, fairways are generous for the size of the course, some greens are in rough shape but every hole is a challenge. For a par 64, you will use every club in the bag, especially if it's windy. Playing this course helps me play better golf.

Next puzzle piece?

A lot has been poured into improving amenities around Colony West, now it's time to start improving the golf courses. Many greens were in bad shape, and the fairways were extremely thin. Don't let the golf be an afterthought. This is a good layout, especially if you are trying to get your game back after a long layoff, or just don't want to wrestle with a regulation length course.

A Nice Course for seniors and high handicappers

All I can say is that as most courses one or two slow playing ignorant foursomes can ruin a very nice experience! A Ranger to keep groups close would be nice.
Just a note...tip the poor souls at the cart check in: both we had the pleasure of talking to are subject to ignorant questions and people not knowing the system. They do a great job!
