A course of opposites
An interesting course to challenge all. The first nine holes are flat with some water. The back nine holes very hilly.
Mother’s Day golf outing
Course great condition, wife had great time, pace a little slower than usual, staff friendly and courteous as expected, local resident who enjoys this layout and the team that keeps it immaculate.
Greens were in rough shape - layout was good
My buddies and I just returned home from our annual beach/golf trip. We played Kiva Dunes, Peninsula, GlenLakes and Perdido Bay. Peninsula is at the top of that list. We found the back 9 pin positions at Kiva dunes to be incredibly difficult. One of my buddies friends recommended GlenLakes to us. I am not sure but am guessing the greens were punched recently. The greens were shaggy and very slow. They almost had a sponge like texture under your feet. My buddies frankly did not like the course and don't want to play it again. I reminded them this was the most inexpensive course we played during the week and the layout was pretty good. Had the greens been mowed and had any decent speed to them I think it would be a fine course and I would be happy to play it again. We decided we would put Kiva on the back burner in the future and always play Peninsula and Perdido Bay. Will probably play Craft Farms and Lost Key next year as well. GlenLakes may be on the alternate list if we can't get a tee time at one of the other courses.
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.
Glen lak
Good conditions no gps on carts so u can drive all over course which is likely to wear conditions down. Worth playing
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.
5 hour 25 minutes
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.
I agree with all your comments- played in 4-24
