Glades at Colony West Country Club
Played On 01/15/2018Colony West Glades Course -- Good place to take a kid
Executive Course is cut, maintained, and the greens are decent enough and puttable, but the fairway turf conditions and tee boxes are poor. Fairways and most of the turf through the green on the course is kind of a Floritam/weed mix cut short. However, it was actually playable and there are some par 3's over water to keep it interesting. No sand bunkers makse it easier for beginners. Very windy day so even though most of the holes are easy, scoring was a challenge. Mostly older retired Canadians playing on a Monday Holiday in January. If you are seeking plush fairways and groomed conditions go elsewhere. I took my 10 year old son and we were able to hit multiple practice shots on nearly every hole and stay between the group of retirees in front of us and in back of us. $34 was pretty steep for the course conditions, but GolfNow was running a buy one round & get 2 coupons for future rounds so it was a good deal overall. Nice day for my son to hit quite a few practice balls under playing conditions on a holiday in peak season. Staff was friendly, and we had a great time. I would never recommend the course to competitive golfers comfortable with typical country club conditions. Greens were actually better than some of the cheap munis I've played, but even in season, there are better values with better overall conditions. I would never book our regular golfing group to play this course, but for a fun afternoon with a kid, or for any beginner who is nearby and on a budget it's OK.
