Have not played Glen Ivy for a few years, so was excited to return. While we had the second time off out at 6:09am, we were able to get out first, which I thought was great ......... until we ran into a reverse shotgun which began on #15, with two groups on each hole, so we bailed and drove in. I just wish someone would have told us about this because we could have made adjustments. So unfair !

Overall I thought the course was in much better condition than when I played here in 2020. While the greens were a bit bumpy and too slow for my taste, they certainly were acceptable. Good coverage in the fairways. The greenside bunkers had plenty of sand, but were compacted, which made getting "through" the sand to flop it out rather difficult.

The staff was really great, except for the fact they failed to advise us of the reverse shotgun. I have very mixed feeling about that.

Monthly golf group made it back down to Glen Ivy this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised with most of the conditions after reading some poor reviews over the long period since the last time I played here. Check-in is very convenient, as is the range adjacent the starter's building. It's a pretty well run operation to get you going. Out on the course may be a slightly different story.

In terms of layout, it's really good and you never have anything but unique holes that never play side by side. Every hole is its own entity and that makes for a very challenging yet fun experience. There are elevations, mature trees and plenty of OB areas on either side of most of the fairways so bringing your A game is a very wise idea.

Conditions are pretty good all over the course but there are a few of the greens that are still showing some patchwork damage. It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle on some of the greens as if they were forced to substitute some new layers to cover up old damaged ones. The ball was still rolling quite fast though despite these factors and held shots pretty well, too.

Fairways were mostly in good shape with just a few thin areas, and there's not a lot of rough out at Glen Ivy but when it was found it was nice and thick but still playable. Tee boxes (we always play the whites with this group) were mostly flat and well-covered, while the bunkers were okay with nice sand but probably not enough of it on the holes where I was beached.

We were the fourth group out for our outing so it's hard to say how much the slow POP was a direct result of some of my friends, but the group behind us was definitely hitting into us a few times too often but they knocked that off once they saw us waiting as well on many of the holes. Still, not ideal to play a five-hour round but at least the scenery, company and the weather was top notch. Cart service was also great with many visits and everything we needed.

I really enjoy playing this course when it's good condition like this and look forward to coming back soon.

It's been over a year since I've played this course due to the price increase and due to the prior reviews. Went out early Wednesday prior to a men's group. POP was just slightly under 4 hours.

It's been over a year since I've played this course due to the price increase and due to the prior reviews. Went out early Wednesday prior to a men's group. POP was just slightly under 4 hours.

So, the course conditions were so-so. Greens have been repaired but some were still thin, and you can see where they repairs were done. The greens that were replaced were different than the original ones and rolled different. Greenside bunkers had sand but were compacted down. The worst part of the course was the fairways. The fairway had splotches of different grasses. Not worth the current rack rates at this time.

Pace of play was slow, waited on almost every shot. Called pro Shop after 2nd hole but never improved. Took 50 minutes to play first two holes
Some picturesque tee shots made it somewhat enjoyable.

Golf course is in terrible shape! Some of the greens were unplayable and looked like they were pieced together. Lots of brown spots in the fairways. There was flooding in several of the tunnels that we had to use to get to several holes. Maybe a water main broke, but there was a lot of water running down the paths. Our cart died on us in the middle of the fairway on hole 8. After switching it out, the next cart kept turning off on us. It was related to issues that they were having with the GPS. GPS needed to be reset in the carts since they reflected old flag positions. The carts were also raggedy and dirty. I was assigned a cart with torn seats and had to request a better one before we started. The signature 18th hole no longer even has the beautiful orchards. This place was not worth the $100 green fee. I was very disappointed. There are way too many beautiful courses to play in the I.E. and they seem to have let this place go.

Another last minute invite today 11/29...I was looking forward to this as it has been about 4 years since I got over to play Glen Ivy...END OF REVIEW, if you cannot say anything nice about the course, don't say any thing at all....Take your money and toss it in the can you will be happier...$25 would be too much for this course....

What used to be one of the gems and premiere courses here in the IE, Glen Ivy Golf Club has taken a turn for the worse. First of all, the course itself has been in HORRIBLE shape!!! The greens has been horrid for about 4 months now. Honestly, I could even say that it is unplayable. But worst of all, some staff members are just running this place into the ground with their attitude. Specially the people running the range. They have it advertised that last bucket could be purchased at 7:30pm and it is open till 8:00pm. But the past few weeks, it’s open until they feel like it. There has been times that we’ve bought a large bucket each golfer at around 6:30pm and they’ve turned the lights off by 7:00pm. Just a couple of days ago, I got there at 4:30pm and they closed the ball dispenser and didn’t even turn the lights on!!! Staff said, no one’s playing the course and they are trying to cut payroll cost. But almost every stall on the range was being used!!! So that really didn’t make sense. Just today I called to see what time they will close the range and they said it’s closed all day because the dispenser was broken. Called again a few minutes later and they said they are closed because the ball picker is out of commission. Netter practice those lines fellas!!! Sucks because a few friends bought memberships to play the course and have range access and discount. With the course the way it is, course is trash and the practice area is only open when they feel like it.
This place needs help. I hope the investors/owners gets to read this so they get the shine and luster back to this gem.

Regrettable that I play this course today 11-16-21. I was wondering why the parking lot looked so empty for my morning tee time and now I know why. The front 9 greens are in almost unplayable condition and serious repair work is continuing as of today. Sad that was not mentioned when Tee time was inquired within the pro shop 1 week ago. The back 9 was in better condition however, this was the first time I left an 11" divots (My Shoe Size) of foot prints while putting. The greens were soaked and we haven't had rain locally in quite some time, like putting on a sponge. Serious, puts up hill or down were so off, very frustrating round. I dont think this course will be in a good playable condition for many many months. Green fee's should be $25.00 at best for this horrible condition. You been advised!!!

Played this course 8-7-21.
It has been 7 or 8 years since I have played here. All I can say is: what happened? about 13-15 greens were badly diseased. I was very disappointed in the whole course. My son worked there about 8 years ago. It was in a lot better shape.
Hopefully they can save the greens.
But it isn't worth the cost in it's current condition.
