Gleneagle Golf Course

This Is a great track… Staff is awesome, and it has one of the best mens clubs around. Course conditions arent the best in the area, but they are working to improve in that area. Price is Right though! All in all Gleneagle golf course makes for a great experience for the money.

Please read the reviews. Fix this course. Even the house values are going down hill! Do something fast! It’s a mess. 11−13−15

I hate to beat a dead horse since most of the reviews are similar. We golfed up there on 6÷7÷2015, (we bought a KJR golf package and course was included) course was worst I have played in a long time. Guessing nobody really gives a darn what happens to the course except the guy out there pulling weeds in the flower beds. It is really frustrating when you hit in the fairway and you cant find your ball because the grass is so long. The bunkers are supposed to have sand aren’t they? Hire a professional greens keeper, fix your lawn mower, water every once in a while and you can have yourself a golf course people want to play instead of neglecting it and making it so nobody wants to play there.

REALLY wish I didn’t have to write this review…
Gleneagle has been my go to course to play for the last few years, my husband and I even got engaged on the first green. The greens are some of the best in the area and the prices are fantastic ($ 25 for 18 + cart!)…unfortunately that’s about it.
I’ve played this course a few times this year already and it seems to have gone downhill quickly in comparison to years prior. When we arrived, we were told that the driving range was closed in preparation for summer. I’m not quite sure what more they’re waiting for since the weather was gorgeous and it was the last weekend in May… seems like a cover up for something else? There’s a woman in the pro shop who normally very nice and helpful, plus (as others have commented) James is very friendly, and the lady who operates the drink cart is always efficient while doing an excellent job. Unfortunately, the actions of a few tainted the experience for me. A few weeks ago I witnessed a younger man walk up to the bar, ask the bartender for a beer, the bartender then replied «you looking to get ****ed up?», handed him the beer, didn’t ask him to pay for it, then he went back to the proshop, sat behind the desk and drank it. That’s just poor. This guy must be an employee because I’ve seen him sitting behind the desk multiple times.
The course is another story. It’s gotten worse and worse. The fairway hasn’t been mowed or maintained in quite a long time, the tee boxes are difficult to hit off of due to large divots and very little grass, the garbage isn’t picked up, and it’s very obvious that maintenance is severely lacking. The signage on the 17^th tee box clearly was plowed into by a cart and it’s been broken for MONTHS. It’s a shock that it hasn’t been replaced, or at least removed. When a friend and I finished our round this weekend, we went in and inquired about the course condition, and a staff member replied that the ownership in California isn’t allotting any money for maintenance. They stated that «if a part breaks on the mower, they won’t give the manager any money to replace it»…what kind of golf course ownership won’t at least make sure that the MOWER is operating properly? Yikes.
Besides the course itself, the general condition of the grounds is sad. There are old, washed out lanterns from a wedding still hanging from a tent with mounds of dirt underneath it, garbage on the ground in the clubhouse, weeds all over the front landscaping, and what looks like the remnants of an old sign still half stapled to the front of the building.
As sad as it is for me to say, I’d rather pay $ 10-​$ 20 more and play another area course than come back to Gleneagle, especially because (even at the admittance of the staff), the ownership company doesn’t seem to care about its conditions. With a little bit of TLC, it could be back to how it was in years prior, but until then, I won’t be returning.

I have played this course consistently for the last 8+ years and playing it today reminded me of when it was under previous management about 7 years ago and the course was in terrible shape. Last golf season the course was excellent. Very well maintained, friendly staff, and excellent rates. I’m not sure if there is new management or what, but it’s very discouraging because I consider this to be my home course. The only thing positive about this course these days is the awesome rates and very nice greens and that’s about it. The front desk staff is decent, James in particular is always nice and welcoming. However, the bartender, the male who is the son of the owner (s), or the previous owners is honestly an embarrassment to their business who uses profanity while working. Overall the course is not in ideal playing shape as the bunkers are about as hard as concrete with tons or rocks. Tee boxes are terrible on most holes as your hitting off sand and not grass. And the sod containers in our golf cart literally had grass growing in them (see attached photo). It’s clear the management simply doesn’t care which sucks because for the price and great greens I would normally play and recommend to my peers. However, I’ll take my single handicap and play kayak or cedarcrest until they get this course back to acceptable playing shape.

This place is a sad excuse for a golf course. Course is very poorly maintained and service and restaurant prices dont correspond. Its an overpriced junk yard. I’ve played here in previous years and it was far better but I think there must be new ownership or something because it has completely fallen apart.

We had a fundraiser tournament today for Destiny International School of Ministry. 84 people came out and had a blast. The staff is gracious, professional, and was so very helpful for all of the newbies who played. The food was awesome, the course was in great shape and the base price for everything was reasonable. Thank you Gleneagle for making our first tournament such a success!

I really love this course. I am a single digit handicapper, my true handicap is my 3 year stud muffin who takes distractions to a new level. I take him out golfing all the time and they have no problem with it. I have been out about 6 times already this year and the greens are looking awesome. They have been keeping the rough shorter then last year and its been a super awesome place to spend my days off. See you soon guys

Sorry mike but the first thing you said when you rolled up in your golf cart to talk to us is that there was nothing you could do and you had no solution based attitude toward the matter. Your stance was to do nothing in the hopes that everything would resolve itself and then from our conversation on the phone about my credit card it was as if it wasn’t a big deal or that I was inconveniencing you because your golf course had charged my card for someone else’s round of golf. Before my buddy even started getting upset you said several times that there was nothing that you could do… we stated that the group ahead of us was playing at too slow of rate of speed as it had been almost 5 hours since we’d tee’d off and you corrected us by saying, «well it’s only been 4 hours and 20 minutes.» Yeah very sarcastic and we were only on the 16^th hole and had skipped one so it definitely would have taken us 5 hours to do the whole round of golf if we had enough light to finish, which we did not. Also, how can we tell if there was a group ahead of the slow group in front of us if we don’t skip ahead of them? The group in front of us was going so slow that for all we knew there was open playing in front of us. And I can understand my buddy’s frustration, we had all paid good money to be out on the golf course and were having a fun time and then got all amped up because someone was almost trying to get into a fist fight with us on your golf course and then you repeatedly say there’s nothing you can do about it, no mention of comping our round of golf was ever discussed, nothing. The fault lies with the golf course, they should not have overbooked the tee times especially when there was a tournament that day which arguably had every other golfer out there frustrated as the rate of play was almost non existent to begin with. It’s comical because every single group we passed talked about that foursome that was ahead of us and asked if we got stuck behind them because everyone knew that they were going too slow and were NOT keeping up with the group ahead of them. I talked with one gentleman in the parking lot who we had played close to earlier in the day and explained the situation to him and his wife and he just shook his head because he saw each member of their group tee off 2 – 3 times each!
My buddy was right to ask about your general manager position because you definitely did not handle the situation like a general manager should, you were very put off, abrasive and we could tell that you didn’t want to do anything to help out the situation and that you didn’t want to be there. As for hitting into the group ahead of us? We made sure they were out of range before we tee’d off so that we could keep up the rate of play to where it should have been, we weren’t intentionally sending golf balls over their heads or anything. And basically nothing would have been good for them, their group was upset when we were behind them because apparently we were rushing them to play faster and then they were pissed that we cut ahead of them… and no no no they definitely weren’t right behind the group ahead of them… we’d been following them since the 11^th hole and they would wait for the group ahead of them to clear the green before they would tee off, even on holes that were 300 – 400 yards long. As I said before good customer service always puts the customer first and the customer is always right… you still think that you’re right for doing nothing, that’s the type of attitude that kills businesses and that’s the type of attitude my buddy was talking about when wondering how you were a general manager with a «can’t do» attitude as opposed to a «can do» attitude.

PROS:
— The price! Less than $ 30 for cart rental and 18 holes!
— Additionally, it is NEVER busy. I’ve been here several times in the middle of summer, Saturday afternoons and there is barely a wait time at each tee.
— It’s a challenging course — yes the homes are very close on several of the greens, lots of ponds and bunkers. It’s definitely a challenge, but I like a challenge.
— The staff is friendly and I believe it’s under new management. They’re really trying hard to clean-​up the course and it shows.
— Great deals on beer and food — much better price points than neighboring courses.
— The setting is beautiful: views of the foothills and airport from several greens make it a very relaxing «day-​in the country».
Cons:
— No restroom facilities on the course, beside the club house. I think there might be 1 outhouse — but I didn’t want to check it out.
— Some brown patches and marshy greens where the sprinkler run-​off seems to be an issue.
— Cart path is rough in some areas and quite hilly! Take my advice and rent a cart. This is not a course for walking, unless you really want a strong workout!
Overall; The price and convenience of playing through w/​out wait time outweigh all the cons. Additionally, I really have seen an improvement in the last year, and believe the new management is working with all the maintenance issues to get the aesthetics improved.

This was a very difficult course for several reasons. The houses on the sides are incredibly close on almost every hole. There are excessive ravines, water hazards, sand traps, etc. for such a narrow and winding course. The greens were very hard packed and cut too short, which made for terrible putting and approaches. Definitely not a course for anyone not very skilled because there are a lot of opportunities to break windows and lose a number of golf balls. On the upside, the 30.00 price for greens fees and cart together was a pretty great bargain.

We had heard mixed reviews but got a AAA coupon to pay cheaply. The guys in the pro shop were very cordial, and they ran on time which can be unusual on a Saturday.
Our first surprise was how smooth the greens were. Not super fast, but very true. By the end of the 3^rd hole I had lost a couple balls, and was beginning to figure out this course was short but tough, with a premium on accuracy and putting the ball on the correct side of the fairway. The back nine seemed like more fun than the front.
The people we played with said there was new management and the course was much improved. By the end of 18 holes we felt we would come back and try to play a little smarter than we did the first time. A little different, but a fun course.

Ok course layout. Short course. Price is reasonable. Horribly mis-​managed. I played there last Saturday and there were sprinklers flooding 7 greens and one hole even had a hose with a sprinkler going all the way across the middle of the green??? Tough to putt without a hose blocking the hole. I recommend going to Kayak Point or Cedarcrest in Marysville

Not really super well-​kept, some brown patches here and there and some standing water in the bunkers when I played.
It’s not very crowded though (it’s in Arlington, so that’ll happen) and the guy at the front desk was pretty nice. VERY reasonable as well as I played 18 w/​a cart on a Sunday morning for less than $ 35. Shorter course, not too challenging. Again, course is not very well kept, but it’s nice to not have to wait…
