Designed by noted Midwestern golf course architect Dick
Nugent, Glendale Lakes Golf Club in suburban Glendale Heights can best be
described as "target golf," a concept that makes each and every shot an
experience. At a modest 6,190 yards from the back blue tees, the layout isn't
overly long, yet it still manages to provide a stern challenge to even the most
accomplished players.
While
the relatively short yardage may fool you at first, there are plenty of
pitfalls littered throughout this layout. Five par 3s shorten the course, but
an abundance of water and sand demands one's complete attention.
Familiarity does not breed contempt in the case of Glendale Lakes. Experience with the course, carry yardages, shot placement and mastery of the large sloping greens will help lower your scores here.
Known as a thinking golfer's course, the golf course at Glendale Lakes features an 18-hole championship design decorated by water which not only adds challenge and intrigue, but beauty. The layout offers Bent grass tees, fairways and greens, and is always manicured to the highest professional standards.
Glendale Lakes offers excellent playing conditions and great customer service. The course is conveniently located near I-355 in Glendale Heights, Ill., just 30 minutes or less from most areas in the Chicagoland region.
