Puts the Wood in Glenwood 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 25, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Plenty of trees, a pond and nice garden areas around the front nine make for a couple of tricky drives on the front nine. The back is a bit more open, with a couple of holes near a large culvert that has tall grass and water that can eat a disc or two.

Every hole plays as a par 3 and there are a couple that are pretty lengthy. Plenty of birdies out there too, most of mine were on the back 9. The standard concrete tee pads are nice, and the baskets are good.

My favorite hole was 10, because it has a window with trouble on both sides and a bit of elevation as you near the pin. Thick woods to the left, and to the right is a drop toward an overgrown ditch with dark water. The toughest tee shot might have been hole 3, due to trees with low, thick branches lined in front of the basket. The tee is on the edge of a pond, but the water carry is not very long.

Cons:

Layout is a bit choppy. I had no map, and started on hole 2. Locals had to point out where the tee for hole 3 was, but after that I was able to follow the route fairly easily. The first tee is next to the park exit on 21st St, across from the 18th basket. A course map or a few prompts to find the next tee could be a helpful addition.

Other Thoughts:

Glenwood is a pretty fun course. Not extremely tough, but has some demanding throws. Windy days will turn up the challenge dial a few clicks. The arboretum is a nice setting, I would like to see it in the spring when the green is coming back around.

I shot a 56 for +2. 5 birdies, 5 bogies, and a double bogey. There was some bad putting, questionable upshots, and definitely lots of room for improvement. Might try to return for another try if I should ever be passing through again.

Nice course for the location 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 26, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Decent use of the terrainGreat variety of shots to try and useWell maintained courseEasily accessible to everyone

Cons:

Some of the pads can be hard to find for new players.Water comes into play,especially more after a good rainstorm

Other Thoughts:

This is the course I have played the most as it's my local course and it's where I learned to play and for what it is it's a great course.The front 9 is a tight,lot of trees technical course as where the back 9 opens up and will let you throw harder.The baskets are in good condition but are nothing great.The signs could use some maintenance but they are there and show you accurate placement.Its a great course for the area and if you ever drive thru stop and give it a shot.

Nice Course in SEK 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Nice tee pads.
- Benches at some tees.
- Very well taken care of.
- Nice hole variety.
- Good shade on a hot, sunny day.
- Fun course to play.
- Friendly locals.
- Some long, some short.
- Good for all skill levels.
- Nice atmosphere.

Cons:

- The creeks come into play on some holes and could be an issue for newer discers or discers who don't have a lot of control.

Other Thoughts:

This was a very fun course to play. The front 9 was a little short compared to the back 9. The front 9 would be good to learn the game on. The course made use of the land very well, and I had to use a variety of shots on different holes. I started by myself behind a group of five other dicers. When I caught up to them, rather than shoo me away, they asked if I would like to play the rest of the course with them. They were nice, and were fun to throw with. This is a really nice course and is one of the better ones I have played recently. I will definitely play here again.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Built near a river and inside an arboretum which can provide for some nice shade in between throws. Decent fairways and the trees don't wreck the holes. Baskets are usually not too hard to see, and the distances are manageable. Is playable by beginners.

Cons:

Two or three of the holes are very difficult on the back nine, but negotiable. Water comes into play on several holes.

Other Thoughts:

If you are a bit of a wild thrower, consider using a floating disc or one you don't mind losing in the water. Played with my left hand as my right hand was fractured from a previous accident.
