I first knew The Glen Club as an employee and later came back as a patron. In high school, after…read morecaddying at a country club in Northfield, I moved here because the money and culture were better. I worked the bag drop and cart barn while also caddying, which meant long days moving between clubs, carts, and loops around the course. The experience was awesome, and I genuinely liked the people I worked with. Years later, I still think The Glen Club offers one of the best return-on-effort golf experiences in the Chicago suburbs, although I am now a bit removed from the local golf scene. The Tom Fazio course is beautiful, well-maintained, and challenging enough to stay interesting while remaining playable for an ordinary golfer. You can walk with a caddie or take a cart, and both experiences are great. It feels removed from the city even though it is easy to reach from Chicago and close to the major highways. Beyond the course, the entire property works unusually well and is great for events too. Since I left the area, family members have stayed in the guest rooms, and we also held a baby shower here. The driving range is spacious, the food is good, and the staff is friendly and helpful without making the place feel stiff. The terrace overlooking the 18th green is an excellent spot for food and drinks, while the surrounding Glen has plenty of restaurants and bars for before or after a round. Today, the clubhouse still feels sophisticated and has aged remarkably well since I watched the property take shape while living nearby. I have also attended professional tournaments here, and it is a great place to watch golf because the course, terrace, and clubhouse connect so naturally. The Glen Club has the quality of a private country club, the accessibility of a resort course, and more polish than a typical public facility. I play whenever I am home and can make it work, and I highly recommend this place.

The course was nice and well-kept but the service was horrendous. We walked in the afternoon as a…read morefoursome and ON THE FIRST hole told to "speed up play." At that point we decided to play best-ball scramble style. And realized that there were solo players behind us in carts. We let them play through and didn't see a single person until the final hole. During the time when there was nobody in front of us or behind us we were approached 3 more times by the marshal telling us that "people were calling the clubhouse and we needed to speed up." We then couldn't even tee off of another hole because one of the residents decided to have a prom party on the tee box and had hundreds of high schoolers take pictures on the tee box. Until the service gets better I cannot recommend this course. You would be better off playing at just about any other north side course or even a true muni. At greens prices over $200, it just doesn't make sense to have service like this.

Pretty good layout for a municipal course...I have enjoyed playing it during the week when it's not…read moresuper crowded...but if you value your time and the quality of your golf experience, DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE ON THE WEEKEND. At least when I played there was nobody enforcing pace of play, so we were well on track for a five + hour round of golf while the group in front of us was busy plumb bobbing its putts for quadruple bogey ... with an entire hole open in front of them. Could be a lovely round with a little bit of gentle guidance from rangers to keep pace, and some regular reminders to adhere to some of the basic courtesies like raking bunkers, replacing divots, and repairing ball marks (none of which seemed to be being done on a particularly regular basis...).

I am sharing some concerns from our 2025 season outing. Unfortunately, play was significantly…read moreimpacted due to active maintenance on the greens--specifically punching and sanding--during our round. On top of that, the course was cart path only, even though conditions didn't appear wet enough to justify that restriction. A 90-degree rule could have been a more reasonable option. As a result, several players were unable to finish due to the physical strain of walking, especially for those with health issues. Most notably, a man who works as a starter and is still recovering from an illness had to quit mid-round and was understandably frustrated. Do you have any suggestions on how we can better coordinate with Glenview Park staff moving forward? It doesn't feel like our concerns are being acknowledged, and it's affecting participation and enjoyment. Thanks for your time,

I just went here today for the first time. It is nice. I forgot to take photos. I'll take some…read moretomorrow. Any how I spoke to a nice fella at the gift shop. The website doesn't have prices. Just says fees for practice range but doesn't say how much. It is 4 dollars for 30 balls, 7 dollars for 65 balls, and 14 dollars for 150 balls. Cheapest price in town. Harry Semrow in Desplains is 13.25 for an extra large bucket which is 160 balls. So 10 dollars more, but for 75 cents difference. So 150balls is not bad for 14 dollars. 10 balls is nothing and harry semrow is much further drive. So this is apretty good deal. And twin lakes in Palatine is half price on mondays 4 dollars for a large bucket 70 balls. But only mondays. This 150 bucket at wolmette is good all days. No weekend hikes like other places. And they have a place to eat. Haven't tried it yet. But its better then no place. So no driving all over looking for a place to eat. Just hit balls and then eat when you get hungry or thirsty.

This review is for the clubhouse area only. It is a pretty dated facility on the outside, though…read morethe inside must have had some renovations at some point. Outside t may have looked really awesome in the 80s but it looks like they've made no changes or updates since. There is one ramp from the one side of the building, but I'm not totally sure the parking on that side is related to the country club and it's not super close for folks who might need the accessibility accommodations to being with. I've only been to a country club once, so perhaps it's exactly what it's supposed to be, but this seemed to just be a golf course and then their clubhouse, which has a pro shop and I'm not sure if they have anything in there when there's not an event. That's where the event I attended was held. The sound is not good, and I'm not sure if that's due to the sound system or because we were a bit further in the back of the clubhouse on the other side of the bar, with the bar in the way. But we could barely hear a thing when they were using the mics, so it's something to keep in mind if you plan your event here.

The starter was super helpful with tips, and the ranger was out there doing his best to keep things moving along. The pace was a little slow (normally something that drives me crazy ), but honestly, seeing the effort from the staff made all the difference. Easy check-in, fair pricing ($50 twilight rate for 18 with a cart), a beautiful layout, a moderately challenging course, nicely maintained fairways, and excellent greens -- you really can't beat this public/park district gem. Yes, the wait could have been a little painful, but with the weather this gorgeous, I honestly couldn't complain. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the day and take in the views! Definitely coming back. This one is worth the drive!

If I lived in this town and played this course regularly and they spent all the money that they did…read morerehabbing this golf course I'd be really upset. The last time I played here it was cartpath only, why do you ask? Because they didn't fix the drainage problem. That's right, they spent millions of dollars and there is still water sitting on the fairways, ridiculous. Also why didn't they fix the cart paths out on the course? Some of them are so bad you have to drive on the grass. Again, why? Possibly the worse part about this whole mess is they don't tell you it's cartpath only until they take your money to play golf and a cart. What are you supposed to do? Go get your money back, load your clubs back in you're car and say good bye to your foresome? I hate that sh*t! The good part is is that they did a really nice job on the clubhouse, the dining room is much improved and they now actually have a small pro shop. The outdoor Patio is very nice and the grounds around the clubhouse armuch improved.

The holes themselves are visually appealing and everything is in good condition. Pace is an issue, but only on a relative basis, as I finished in 2:10 despite 3 lengthy delays from holes 5-9. There were 2-3 groups waiting, so it's probably possible to finish in 1:30 or less. Bathrooms in the clubhouse and between holes 4-5 are very clean and have requisite items like soap, hand dryers, etc. The beverage cart came around once, which is fine for 9 holes, as you also end up near the clubhouse regularly. Nearly every hole had a ball washer and they were all topped up and had towels. I didn't try the restaurant but it looks like an excellent place to watch a game and likely has the standard pub fare. Overall, it's a good spot to walk a quick 9 that's not too far from downtown and is a high quality option vs other city run courses.
