South/West at Glenview Golf Course
About
Golf Digest's Top 75 Public Courses included Glenview Golf Course once upon a time, and the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship was played there once, too. Even if the golf course's prestige has faded a bit - or simply been surpassed by golf courses that were designed more recently - the golf course still offers a test and still draws golfers.
If golfers choose to golf the South and West golf courses in tandem at the Glenview golf club, they'd be looking at a route that would take them 6,843 yards from the Black tees. Teeing off on the South Course, golfers would have to travel 401 yards from the Black tees and do it with a par of 4. Things get long on the South Course's third hole, a par 5 that measures 547 yards from the Black tees and is one of four holes that play to over 500 yards on this route.
The West Course's ninth hole is one of these, requiring golfers who go South Course to West Course at the Glenview Golf Course to close out on a par 5 that measures 541 yards from the Black tees.

Glenview South/West
Played in 3:30 and staff was friendly. Unfortunately the course has seen better days. Fairways are beaten up, rough burned dry, bunkers unraked and greens below average. Layout also impacted by some overgrown trees.
Great course
I havent played here all year and ill for sure be back, the fairways are in great shape and the greens are top notch. I love the different hole layouts. Beautiful course and its worth every penny.
Great course
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The check in/cart process was very organized. The course is in great shape. Saw a ton of wildlife during our round which was a pleasant surprise. I expected the greens to be faster, but with as much rain as we had they weren’t too bad. It was my first time golfing here, definitely on my list to go back.
Condition
Probably the best condition I’ve played at glenview , had a great experience today with a decent round and got to play an extra 9
Really Nice
It was a great day to play golf. The course was in good shape and was well taken care of it was a great time all around.
Getting better and better
Course is in good shape and plays nice. Unfortunately the driving range is closed Tuesday mornings. We'll definitely be back!
Varied terrain and nice conditions.
Better than expected for a busy course. Nice rolling hills;. Keep it in the short grass as the rough was fairly thick and ball sits down. Nice par 3s and holes have some character. You can see staff working to improve conditions on the course. Very playable as well as interesting layout.
Scenic and well maintained course
The weather was perfect for golf!! I enjoyed the round though the pace of play was a bit slow. The course was very scenic with fairways/greens well maintained. Plan to go back soon!!
Pretty nice
Nice course...fairways good, greens and tee boxes in really good shape. Some holes very challenging. Bunkers well placed and in good condition
Great Value, Quality Course
Went on a Friday morning, booked a 7:28 tee time which is great for a hot deal. The course is challenging, and there are some great scoring opportunities even for beginners. The layout provides for a swift pace of play. I would definitely recommend this course for players of all levels.
Yes wish choice
Great course top to bottom greens perfect nice layout I play better when excited about the course yours truly s butler
Fun course to play. If you arent the greatest play it can be forgiving and you wont loose a ton of balls. Was very wet but several clurses were closed for that reason on yhe same day.
Fall golf @ Glenview
Very appealing course with a nice layout on East, West and South. Big greens on a few holes which makes putting hard and fun if not close to pin on approach shots. Tee boxes were in good shape as well as fairways and greens. Challenging course that you will enjoy as a beginner or veteran.
Glenview remains a nice track!
As a City course, Glenview has had it’s share of challenges over the years. The City is apparently funding it properly again. The course was in excellent condition (although the greens on the South course had been recently aerated). Tee boxes were in great shape! Clearly there has been an investment in landscaping and course maintenance.
We had the course essentially to kurselves on a beautiful Saturday afternoon - what’s not to like?
Thanks for your review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your experience! Hope to see you again soon.
