Pray for the greens!

Played 2 times in last week. Afternoon pace of play: SLOW. 7:15 am pace of play: PERFECT (I played solo).
The condition of the greens is concerning: slow pace (they obviously don't roll them, short of 'wooly'. Several greens have wet spots and disease... about 1/2 of the greens on the Vista 9 were damaged by leaking hydraulic fluid from a mower... ouch. Will take forever to recover. Bring a seat cushion as the cartpaths are in great need of repair. Layout has always been great and condition of fairways and rough is good, although some fairways WAY overwatered.

Fun time

Fairways good for most part, greens slow but true, recovering from some winterkill. Very organized staff as they process lots of play.

Worth playing again

One group of four seniors held up the whole golf course. No marshal to speed up the process. Other than that, course in good shape, especially the greens - slow but true.

Great staff. Course needs some TLC. Gre.

We are vacationing in Gulf Shores. We’re hoping to buy a very friendly staff super nice Marshall. My wife and I played at night here at about five and join them for the remaining of the round. My biggest is in great shape and very bumpy. Very frustrating Also would be nice if it was better description of each hole per tee box.

Classic older course

Glenlakes is a classic older course, front nine especially. Front 9 layout is fairly good with undulating fairways and smaller greens. Back.9 - Vista - is newer and has holes that make you feel your at Augusta! All greens in good shape and out true. Will play this again.

Slow play.

The course allowed a five sum to play in front of our group which backed up the entire course . We waited on every shot of every hole resulting in a 4 hour and 40 minutes round on a wide open course. This should have never been allowed especially with slow players in the five sum.

Pace of play

I’ve played this course often with 5 hour rounds. The marshals are typically nonexistent, but today it didn’t matter because our threesome played on a Tuesday morning in 4 hours annd 10 minutes. Also there was no refreshment cart at all. I will normally avoid this course because of the slow pace of play, but not today!

The course was in excellent shape for early April.

Pace of play was ridiculous. Greens were basically a pool table. Water please. Course is down hill since last fall.

Nice course, greens rolled well, good value

I rated the course 3 becuz it’s not a high end course, however I knew it going in and it was a good test of golf and in good condition. Pace of play was very slow which did take away from my enjoyment. Staff extremely nice and I enjoyed the course layout. Front 9 has a lot of modules that surround the fairways so offline drives may get you uneven stances. Having someone that knows the course, especially on the front 9, is very helpful becuz some blind tee shorts and sneaky hazards. Greens rolled nice and fairways were in really good shape. Back 9 easier than front but some nice hole layouts as well. I’m pretty picky and I will play again, but I may not play if the course is crowded becuz of pace of play. I got a hot deal for $37 and think this is still a good value in the $50’s range.

Great course

....one of the top 5 of our choices in the area. Although I do have some suggestions: they need to put a few ball washers on the course.... they don't have any currently...and have a ranger come out occasionally. Pace of play sometimes is a little slow.
