Glenlakes Golf Club

I'm a local here and I've been playing at Glen Lakes for quite a while. I always took the conditions with a grain of salt, because it is about the only affordable round of golf around. But yesterday may have been the last time. $70 for a 4 PM start time was a shocker to start with (I was expecting $35-45 as I remembered). But the greens have genuinely become unplayable. I honestly opted to use a wedge on MULTIPLE greens to work around the conditions. The grass was SO LONG on the greens too, not a "true roll" to be found anywhere. If you just want a cheap'ish round and drink a bunch I guess it works. But if you have any expectation to enjoy the process of "golf," look elsewhere. I'd rather pay $120 and enjoy the round than $70 and not enjoy it.

Went with my son and son in-law. We had a great time. Wasn't too busy so we could take our time. Since walking in the front door, we were treated like PGA pros. Cheaper course but in great shape. A couple of the fairways were messed up in spots but they have had a decent amount of rain lately. We will come back next time we visit Gulf Shores area.

Played Glen Lakes on 5/4 with two buddies of mine. This course is in HORRIBLE shape. The pic I uploaded is only one example, but the vast majority of the greens were exactly like this one. In no universe is the course worth $80. Will be the last time we play here.
