The Glades Golf Club

Gold Coast, QLD | User Rating: Rate-4 (4.0) | Add A Review

The Glades is a par 72, 6420 metre championship course that spans 65 hectares of land. Located off the Pacific Highway in Robina (exit 79), The Glades is less than an hour from Brisbane.

The course was designed by Greg Norman and is typical of his trademark aggressive layouts. It rewards aggressive shot making on many holes and along with the picturesque par 3’s, makes the Glades a memorable golfing experience. A feature on the course is the trademark Norman bunkering, with 98 bunkers featured over the layout.

The greens at The Glades consist of a new type of “Creeping Bent Grass” that will ensure a superior putting surface for the entire year.

Course was very wet after a previous night’s storm so this impacted the experience. However, with the exception of the bunkers, the course played pretty well. I don’t know if the condition of the bunkers related to the previous night’s rain or is typical of the usual condition. As other reviewers have noted, the greens had plenty of pitch marks which reflects on players rather than the course staff. Overall, a reasonably enjoyable game

Greens were in the process of coring and sanding. Found this out on book in, and was unable to find reference to it online after the round. Heavily watered greens were super soft so fun when on yardage. Look forward to playing course some time in future when in proper shape.

Thank you for your feedback. If the round was booked via our system here, there was a notation in the rate that stated greens were being renovated and you would have received the special rate. Ill pass the note onto the course as well.

I have played the course many times over the years and i feel that it is the best design and overal maintained course on the gold coast as it is always in great condition. I was pleasantly surprised when we played it again recently, how good of conditon it was still in considering all the rain and 2 floods that they have had to recover from this year already. It is a credit to their maintenance team!!!!! Greens bit soft after over night rain but still played very smooth & true. Clubhouse & maintenance staff very polite & helpful. Service standards have gone down over the past few years but we will still be back for sure.

Course was in reasonable condition. Fairways were excellent, bunkers were poor, greens were average very soft with lots of un repaired pitch marks and spikearks all over

10. stadromana | Rated | 31 Mar 2013 | Add A Review

A very enjoyable layout and not your typical Norman design, as there are not the 200+ meter carries over rough from the black marks. The par 3s are great, but the 5s have a sameness about them. A couple of brutally long 4s which is typical Norman. Putting surfaces are very true but very soft, with copious unprepared / poorly repaired pitch marks. Many bunkers were out of play or in poor condition, assume the recent storms caused this. Overall, a good place on the Gold Coast to play.

Slightly pricey to play regularly, and the soft greens suffer from inconsiderate golfers who do not repair the pitch marks.

Played Glades this week and was absolutely delighted with the entire experience. Manicured fairways, very challenging water hazards and enough bunkers to demand careful course management and approach planning. We played two days after some rain and the bunker sand was a little heavy (shouldn’t have been in there should I) but the rain softened the greens allowing some very direct approach shots. The bent grass greens were every true although sadly they were marked badly by some lazy individuals who failed to use the green forks provided. Friendly staff, excellent lunch and very cold beer at the end. Loved it.

The Glades is a top-tier course with outstanding greens. Sure, there are a few pitchmarks from lazy golfers who don’t repair their damage but no more than usual for bent grass greens. There is no excuse given they provide free pitchmark repair tools in each cart.
The course is challenging but fair, with rewards for good shots and punishment for bad shots, as one would expect.
The back nine is particularly good with two of the longest par fours I have seen (from the black markers).
Greens were the best I have seen on the Gold Coast – true and reasonably quick.
Nice meals at reasonable prices in the clubhouse, with great views out towards the 10th tee.
Hard to rate The Glades highly enough and I will be back.

I have played the Glades many times, and I am usually impressed with the condition of the greens, but unfortunately not on this occasion. The amount of badly repaired pitch marks and unrepaired pitch marks was ridiculous. And the decision not to have the old pin placement maps in the carts I think is a bad one, especially for new guests to the club. Other than that the course was in good condition. And no hot chips available after the game, what the!!!!

Played on Friday morning (29th). Staff were awesome and the course was great. Nice big fairways and challenging layout. Only gripe is the greens. It seems that the people that play there have no respect for the greens, there were pitch marks and scuff marks all over every green. We were repairing 3-4 pitch marks each green, but apart from that it was a great experience. $80 through iseek is a steal and will deffinately be back.

PROS

  • Beautiful surroundings and well manicured fairways and greens. Plenty of bunkers and water hazards to keep you sharp.

Cons

  • One sandwich left on the drinks cart at 11.50am and we were on the 9th green. Could have stocked up before heading out.....

Possibly the best golf course on the Gold Coast. Love the layout, the greens are quite a challenge with some of the slopes (although far too many golfers don’t fix their pitch marks)and the last hole is a real gem. A little expensive but a treat everytime I play there albeit still cheaper than being a member.

43. Germboy | Rated | 03 Nov 2012 | Add A Review

Hi, Third time I have played Glades. A little tired in places. ? maintenance proceedures. Biggest gripe is your organisational skills in basic booking sheet.Yet again you win the prise as the poorest tee time organisers. Including myself, there were 6 groups in front of me making a total of 12 people. This of course causes huge slow play.
12 divide by 4 ( thats 4 people in each group) means 3 groups. Much faster playing speed. I had to wait, not on every hole but EVERY SHOT.
This ofcourse will be a factor in playing Glades again, or in fact recommending it. I have justreturned from England /Ireland and played 14 of the best courses in the world. They have way more traffic than Glades, and they cope WAY better.

My annual game with a Friend from NZ. Played on Sunday, 2 of us. Tee off was 6:28am. Got there about 6:10am. Starter said to us that if we would like to tee off straight away he would put us in front of a group of 4 so we would not be held up. Was a brilliant idea as we were on 18 when the group of 4 was on 13. The course was in perfect conditions. All the Par 4 & 5 holes offer a good mixture of straight shooting or risk and reward. We loved the course, the staff were excellent. All in all a great morning. We normally try and play a different course each year but I think we will be back at The Glades next year when he is over here.

Course flows well and with a couple of elevated tee shots and good placement of hazards this course feels more like a tournament layout than a resort course. Will be back.

Played for the second week in a row after taking up the Ultimate Card membership.
Having played here a number of times in the past the course was playing almost as good as possible on both weekends. From the staff and service to the course and the food the Glades is a great all round package.
The course itself plays really well off the blacks with only a couple of holes really playing long off the blacks. Greens role very true and are soft whether there has been rain or not.
Have played all the top courses on the coast and this is the best of them!!

Glades was an awesome golfing experience. Right from the time you arrive – bag drop point, pro shop staff getting you on your way. Green lush fairways, challenging holes, and lightening fast greens. Played off the back markers yesterday.

There is lots of water including an Island style green for the par 3 17th… 150m but plenty of water to carry into the wind with only the green to land on…. love it … I laid up right.

With all the 89 bunkers – I only found 2 of them for the round !! But I did put 9 balls in the drink.

Love the golf experience at The Glades. Will be back !!

The Glades is a challenging, beautiful course. We played from the black tees, which gave it a bit of length on the longer par 3’ and par 4’s. The course condition was impeccable, especially for all of the rain the Gold Coast has received. The greens rolled true and slick, and some of the positions were like Sunday on the PGA tour. Being a scratch golfer, I found this to be a great thing. If you are a beginner, expect to be frustrated.

We had an early tee time, and the round went smoothly, finishing in just over 3 hours.

There is nothing negative to say about the course. I will definitely be back, and I am looking into becoming a member here as I have just moved to the Gold Coast. 2 thumbs way up!!!

The course was nice enough apart from the numerous pitch marks in the green which not only effects putting but takes away from the aesthetics of the course. What disappointed me and made me angry was the over watering of the greens which made them unplayable. There were at least 4 greens from hole 12 to 15 that were saturated and unplayable. Supposedly some sort of fertiliser had been put on the greens the previous day which meant they had to be watered which I was not made aware of until after the fact.With so many quality courses on the Coast I won’t be rushing back.

Played here on ANZAC day. Got out early at 6:40am, played 18 holes and was never held up and had nobody in front or behind us. Saw the drinks cart 3 times which was pretty good. Finished our 18 holes in 3 hours and 45 mins which was great. On finishing the 1st Tee was pretty full with a group of like 16 old guys arriving.

Now to the course… Definitely not enough bunkers. I only landed in 9 bunkers over the 18 holes. And seriously? Some holes only had a minimum of like 6 bunkers! Not enough! Anyway apart from the huge amount of bunkers, the greens were fast (lots of divot dead grass areas though, course has lots of nice opportunities to drop straight onto the green from 100m out does mean this!) and the fairways were really nice to hit from. A fair bit of water but it wasn’t difficult and I only hit the water twice (once by not seeing the water as it was my first time there).

I will definitely go back and enjoyed my game heaps. Plus it was great bunker practice :)

PROS

  • Lots of Bunker Practice

Second time I’ve played on this course. The staff are fantastic and very helpful – it’s a pity more employees don’t put lots of effort into looking after customers like they do at The Glades. The course was a bit damp after lots of rain, but it really didn’t affect our game. The greens are superb (even after it had bucketed down for two days prior) – the best I’ve played on by a country mile. Lots of water hazards and bunkers, but nice wide fairways that give you a bit of room to miss your target. I haven’t played on any other Gold Coast courses, but I’m not in a hurry to, as I’d happily go back to The Glades again and again. If you are holidaying on the Gold Coast, it is definitely a course you should visit. Excellent.. full stop.

Played the Glades on Sat 17 Mar 2012.
It is a great course, however due to recent rain the course was very wet and carts were resticted to the paths which made the round longer. Some bunkers were full with water and if you landed in one that was not full, the ball plugged.
Greens were also patchy with multiple pitch marks and divots.
All in all the Glades is a very chellenging course that I would love to play in the dry of winter, but probably not again in wet season.

The course is a fantastic design and a great place to donate balls to nature.

I have only one complaint.
I was given a cart with minimal battery which later died at the back of the ninth. fortunately only a short push to the club house to exchange. I probably should have taken note before hand.
A professional course probably wouldnt allow for this mistake to eventuate.
Otherwise helpful staff.
Greens need a lot of maintenance and care to become consistent.

The Glades golf did not inform intending players the state of the course since major flooding 3 days earlier. Definately would not
have played. All bunkers were not in play and 30% of holes were subject to mud silting from floods. Should be entitled to a free round.

Lovely course, greens and fairways all in great shape. Bunkers were a bit grungy but overall would happily play here agian anyday.

Dropping off clubs and set up through the proshop was excellent, good people and cheerful with their service.

Had a great day. The bent grass greens are a priviledge, although I don’t know how they keep them in such good nick as some divot marks left entire flaps of grass to somehow be repaired.

The scenery was very relaxing, we played early and the water features and established trees made it very enjoyable. Might play again this weekend.

PROS

  • Picturesque, greens so much fun to play on.

Cons

  • No food till about 9am.

Played the Glades yesterday and once again cannot fault the course or the staff. There had been a bit of rain in the previous days but the course was in fantastic condition and the greens were brilliant. Had to stop due to rain on the 14th, but the rest of the time more than made up for it.
Will be back again and again, best course I have played in South East Queensland.

Played the plates, there are some great tee shots (6,9, 10, 13, 17 & 18 esp) and some 2nd shots that get you thinking. My wife played the ladies tees at same time and found it enjoyable.

As usual the course was in immaculate condition especially given the fact that a storm had hit the course the previous day. Played off the black makers for the first time which made it a little more challenging but was still able to reach every green in regulation. The greens were very receptive to approach shots as always but found them very quick and hard to read (a real challenge but enjoyable). Will not hesitate to play there again next Christmas break.

Still convinced that it’s the best course on the coast. A close 2nd would be The Grand. Course management is key to playing this effectively and easily. Greens were somewhat fast, but not as fast as they have been in the past. Friendly and helpful staff. One suggestion is to have the service cart be available later in the afternoon for us late starters. This would make my overall experience better and improve customer service. Cleared the course in 3hrs40mins (bar the 8th hole where our group waited on some hackers then decided to bypass and play the 9th)

My only negative comments would be that we had no starter, no course information book which would have helped us out with the layout. The bunkers also need attention. Other than that, we had a most enjoyable game and I would go there again, although it is very expensive for what you get (or don’t get.

Excellent punishment for poor shots and reward for good shots, lots of deep bunkers and water (only lost 2 balls though :-) ), greens played beautifully and true, aesthetically pleasing on many holes, pleasant staff, and a wonderful deck to enjoy a beer after the game.

Teeing off early so had a very good clear courser to play on.

Look quite simply it is an exceptional course and very pleasant to play on and you have several options on each hole, on how to approach/play it so it is great for all levels of golfer.

The Course was in great nick but the greens where a little slower, I think they played a tournament earlier in the week so the greens had not been cut since, possibly a small point but it made the greens not as consistent as normal. The damage as well by no repairing of pitch marks is a problem but more due to the players using the course than the management – shamo on you – repair those pitch marks!!

Bunkers need a consistent amount of sand in them and the green side bunker on the 8th had been damaged by rain

As usual the clubhouse staff excellent and the only exception for morning tee off’s is that you miss out on the drinks cart operation at that time of day; you still get thirsty in the morning.

Very well looked after by the club, and despite a later tee time, was able to get on early thanks to a cancellation, and proceeded to get around the course without any delays from other groups. We were booked to go on after a coprorate group, so it was probably fortunate to get on when we did.

Very impressive course and clubhouse facilities. There are some very attractive-looking holes especially the 9th and 14th and very difficult ones like the 2nd and 18th. I liked the bunkering and the greens ran truly if a little slower than a Melburnian is accustomed to. Many patrons there leave their pitch marks unrepaired and the rakes just inside the lips of bunkers which left me with two near impossible from a steep downslope. The $9.90 voucher for an after-golf snack was a nice touch. The best of the half dozen Gold Coast courses which I have played.

Played 18 holes at the Glades on Friday 15th. The pro shop staff were friendly and even allowed us to bring our tee time (booked through iseekgolf) forward – allowing us to complete the round before the arrival of late afternoon rains.

The course itself is a nice challenging layout and greens / fairways were in good condition.

The only down side was after banging out a 300m drive on the 14th Fairway, watching a person drive back down the fairway and pick up my ProV1x. When we jumped in the cart to give chase, the guy exited the course into a nearby house which fronted the 13th fairway. Really disappointing! (Although hardly under the control of the course management). On the whole, a nice course at $65 a round!

I play at Glades on average once per month throughout the year, and find it to be the best overall course to play on the Gold Coast.
The bentgrass greens are soft, receptive and very true (although this makes them susceptible to damage) and are the best in Queensland. The course is very playable from the Gold tees (public comps), and is a monster from the tips. Plenty of water and Greg Norman risk/reward holes, with the course usually in good condition.
Practise facilities are excellent, and teaching Pro (Gary Edwin) is the best in Queensland, if not the country.

A majestic course. Good use of the natural flow of the land. In great nick but I found the greens somewhat lumpy and ended up repairing quite a few plug marks others should have. Annoying because they give you plug mark tools on the cart. Lots of water and bunkers too, although good planning avoids most. I found myself thinking more on this course than say the colonial and left the driver in the bag on several par 4s. Great staff and a very nice outlook at the restaurant and great food and beer. At the price, gps on the carts would have been nice like hope island. Slow round though, waited on almost all shots, 5.5hrs!! The best part perhaps was visiting Gary edwins golf for a lesson after lunch. Great insightful lesson with video, drills and comparisons to pros.i expect this will change my game forever.

Great day – course in excellent condition – bent greens nice and fast and smooth and very receptable to good shots, best on the coast. The fairway conditions are perfect and generous enabling any level of golfer plenty of room however miss and the rough can be tough and there is enough water and trees in play to punish wayward shots. Most fairway bunkers are a true hazard and if you venture in it si diffiuclt to reach the green. Great risk reward course for the better golfer, take it on and rewards are plenty but miss and your score can quickly mount.

You are looked after from the get go with bag drop off services and friendly willing to help staff in all areas. The club house and practise facilities are first class and the food is good.

At $130.00 standard rate the course is expensive but keep your eyes open, we got a $79.00 deal off Iseek including cart and it is worth every cent.

Thouroughly recommend it you wont be disappointed.

We were very impressed with the condition of the course and the helpful, friendly staff in our first visit to The Glades. Our day was enhanced by the delightful weather and the standard of the greens. They were fast and true. The bunkers were, despite the rain of the previous week, consistently good. It was a credit to the groundstaff that we rarely encountered,or observed, a poor lie in a bunker. The design meant that we were required to think our way around the course, which added to the challenge.
What a pleasure it was to finish off our lovely day with a drink out on the terrace with such a lovely view out over the lagoon and tenth and eighteenth fairways.
When we venture to the Gold Coast from Melbourne again, we will certainly return to The Glades.

We first played at the Glades when it opened and have had many games since. Last week, our overseas guests and ourselves felt that although the field was not busy a 5 hour round was not necessary, tee time planning should be a priority especially when not busy. Asian golfers need to be educated to fix their divots on the greens and slow play – we will not be returning to the Glades. Also staff in the Cafe were surly and not at all friendly.

Beautiful course. Have played many good courses over the years and this rates right up there.

The greens were much more soft friendly than most courses around the Gold Coast and rewarded you for good approach shots.

Was the type of course that would punish you if you found trouble but on the flip side you would get rewarded if you played well (fairly fast rolling fairways and soft greens, off the fairway is a bit tougher)

One of the best courses i have played at. Only thing i found that needed to be on the course were stakes or markers for the 100m and 150m distances instead of the ones on the sprinkler heads.

Great Layout. Played Gold Tees – a bit short for the quality of the course. I have played the Glades before but from black tees, a much better course from black. Condition very good, however greens were a bit slow.

Played here on the 30th January with a social golf day. This is course is an amazing picturesque course. It is a credit to the greenkeepers and staff alike. Beautiful fairway, amazing greens. The marshall wasn’t far away if we encountered slow play. Greens are soft (prone to pitch marks) however played true. Only negative was the rough was quite long and made it difficult to find your balls at times (yes balls). All up this is an amazing course and highly recommend it to anyone who would like to play a premier course.

  • Fairways
  • Ease of playing (No hold ups)

Course in great condition & a pleasure to play, with very challenging holes.

Couple of minor niggly negatives :-
1. Too many staff that overcomplicate things (ie. Bag drop, starter)
2. I played as a single, but would have gladly prefered to be paired up with other games = their was a single directly in front & behind me. This led to very slow play & really could have been avoided (I did ask the 2 games in they would like to join me, but they said no !)
3. Tho’ the course was great & I only paid $69 thru’ iseekgolf, I believe the top rate fee @ The Glades is $130. If that is correct, then that is way over the top…..The Glades is not worth $130 for 18 holes plus cart

But with all that aside would have to say it is the most enjoyable course I have played even if there was surface flooding around some of it. Cosmetically a beautiful course with good challenging holes as we played off the black tees. Especially when it is pooring with rain. But all that said was able to have a hot shower afterwards in the locker rooms as they supply towels. All in all a great set up for a pleasant day of golf. Will make sure next time it is sunny. Personally think it is far superior to Royal Pines.

Our group from the Far North of NSW really enjoyed our day at the Glades.The course was at its usual and unforgiving best. We had a mixture of impressive birdies and the brain explosions of some doubles and triples. Being plugged into the steep face of a bunker in front of the 7th green for two was amusing especially when the third shot had to be played on my knees. Anyway that’s golf. Thanks to the Glades.

AWESOME! Much more enjoyable than the Vinatage. Fantastic service, great design (easiest hole is the 1st, hardest hole is the 18th), perfect lies, true bent greens, 98 manicured bunkers, wicked water hazards, and wide fairways. Good shots get rewarded, and I’ll leave it up to your imagination what happens to bad ones. Got on for $79 with a cart as well. It is hard to fault this course. Enjoy!

Having just gotten a Teeoff Australia membership I made the Glades the first course I played based on reputation and I nust say I am a little disappointed.
While there was nothing majorily wrong with the course (fairways were excellent) I think when charging top dolar for a round ones expectations tend to be quite high and I don’t think it’s up to the standard of the other top flight courses around the area.
As a 1st time player of the course I found the on-course signage very poor – coupled with no GPS in the carts, navigating your way around the course can be a little hit and miss and probably cost a few shots on my scorecard.

played the glades yesterday, 2nd time I have played there. Went to this course,because of bent greens in winter. They were absolutely amazing, they were rolling about 10. pretty quick for queensland, and were rolling very very true. The service was great, a nice Canadian guy served us. Told us there was no food or drink cart out there, but if we wanted anything order it at the bar and they brought it out to us. It is Very Forgiving off the tee. I played very poorly around the greens, Still managed 34 points. My playing partner off 25, had 45 Points. It is a fun course that leaves lots of opportunity for birdies. Could possibly be a bit more challenging, in regards to making you think with risk reward, but just a fun course. Touch expensive.. but Well werth it with those greens.

The weather was perfect, course was good, staff friendly and some good mates to play with. Made it a very enjoyable round of golf. Greens were softer than most courses I’ve played on (could be the type of grass – which I’ve never played on before), putts pulled up quicker, fairways were open and abit generous and I surprisingly never missed. The bunkers and water looked daunting but didn’t really present any real problem. Only lost one ball in water on a par three.
However, at full price I didn’t see the value. First impressions GOOD but not WOW!

OK, have to be honest. Gold tees (equiv of white at other courses) is about 5700m, and was single stableford. Paid $105 each for myself and girlfriend. Gold tees were on average 20-30m up on gold plates so played prob about 5100-5200, why play such a great course where you pay premium so short??? (and on a sunday, to me is blatant rip off of patrons attempting to get rounds on course)

Had 27 points off 6 handicap, drove like a demon and hit irons like a moron!! Greens are not in good condition at moment, especially last 3, looks like heading for refurb on those ones. I love Greg Norman designs but feel like was not given value for money overall. If you never been is fantastic to experience as is visually beautiful and a must see. Greens are bent grass and therefore show every scuff, pitch mark and bump, people who play there do need to learn how to fix pitch marks!!

I’m not a fan of Greg Norman designed courses, as I believe his designs favour pros or elite amateur (single figure handicap) players. That being said I’ve avoided The Glades for a long time having been "beat up" by Brookwater & Club Pelican in the past.

When A friend visiting from WA suggested we play & then walked straight onto the black tee box, I thought it would be a long draining day.

I’m happy to report that The Glades is the best Norman course I’ve ever played & the bent greens are by far the best putting surfaces in Qld.

Immaculately presented with generous landing areas & plenty of ’risk/reward’tee shot options, The Glades is now number one on my list of Gold Coast courses played.

The staff were also brilliant, & the complementary pitch repair tool was a nice touch. (Although it was an unfortunate neccessity as the greens were VERY pockmarked with the remnants from inconsiderate people)

Overall a very enjoyable time & I will be visiting again soon.

Got caught behind slow group for about 3 holes but they let me through on first available par 3 and I flew for rest of the day until near end. Last remnants of previously mentioned troubles on a couple of the greens under the roadway. Most of the greens fairly soft but I tried to repair at least 2 pitch marks each green to help fight the battle against those inconsiderate "golfers" out there. Its a good layout with typical Norman bunkering and green construction. The shark builds a good course.

This is an outstanding course and its clear that Greg Norman likes his bunkers. They are strategically placed so they catch most standards of players.

Very challenging but also very rewarding. I was fortunate enough to play it twice during the two week holiday (along with Robina Woods and the Colonial) and I found it to be the best course I have ever played. Its easy to see why its rated in Australia’s top 50 courses.

I thought booking though iseek was also great and halved the cost of the second round.

I can’t wait to get to play it again. I cherished every birdie and par I scored (along with the many wipes).

Played here on Good Friday morning. As usual the staff are friendly and offered to try and get me through groups in front as I was playing by myself. Only took 3 hrs and didn’t play through the groups in front until the 14th.

The Glades is always and very enjoyable day out. It’s not the hardest course by a long way and you know that going in. If you hit good shots you are rewarded and bad shots penalised.

There are reviews on here slamming the course for being too easy, greens to soft and unrepaired pitch marks. If it’s too easy and you don’t like it, why come back. There are plenty of other courses that may test you more.

It is not the clubs fault that players don’t repair the pitch marks. They give you tools and there is a picture of how to repair the mark on the windscreen. I tried to repair a couple per green. It is the ignorance of those playing in front of you.

I always look forward to playing the Glades.

Was extremely disappointed with the condition of the greens. They were well below standard for a course than charges inexcess of $100- for a round. There are some great holes but it was frustrating attempting to putt on greens that were unplayable.
Would give Glades a miss based on the greens alone until they can be improved as there are plenty of other acceptable options.

Although I was lucky enough to play this course for $75 with a buggy thanks to iseekgolf there were alot of players that day that payed the full rate. Having said this the rest of the course was in good condition but to not be able to putt what’s the point. I could have gone to any good driving range and had the same experience. With greens in this condition the course should be closed until they are repaired. I should have gone Brisbane and played at Northlakes a far superior course at half the price.

The night before playing this course I watched a famous video on the internet known as "Mr Hands". For those not in the know this video involves a man being brutally sodomised by a horse. The feeling of disgust I felt watching this unspeakable act of colonic carnage was exactly mirrored when I arrived at the first green of the Glades golf club.

The green was literally covered with dead pitch marks and it was plainly obvious that this climate cannot support bent grass. The decision to plant this variety was either a cynical marketing ploy or the act of a man afflicted with a particularly severe form of cretinism.

In addition I found the course to be hemmed in by roads on all sides, causing my playing partner to remark that it had the ambience of an upmarket council estate.

Over priced and over rated. Avoid.

I don’t understand why everyone raves about these "bent greens". They are far too soft – I almost got a plug lie with a four iron on one of the par threes. They’re also far too fragile – it’s very difficult not to damage them just standing in the one spot! As such, all of the greens were in terrible condition, not to mention a few of them were cored as well, which didn’t seem to be publicised when booking through this website.
In addition, I found the course far too easy. I played quite poorly, played off the blacks, and still got 35 points. The first hole, for example, is just ridiculously easy. I hit a poor three wood off the tee, and found myself 30 metres out on a par four.

From all the hype about The Glades I expected it to be a very pleasent experience. Wrong. Four greens were recently cored and the other greens all had deep unrepaired pitch marks. Mowers on the fairways while playing are a nice touch. Teeing off early is a no no although only three and a half hours is a good run because every green was soggy from the sprinklers. I found four bunkers during my round and was deeply plugged in three. Notification of courses poor condition would of been helpful. Royal Pines kicks your arse and is much cheaper.

A beautiful place to play golf, staff were friendly and helpful, challenging day off the black tees. Most fairways are wide so some room for a stray shot. Half the greens were still being repaired after heavy rains, but otherwise a test of your putting. Enough water to put you off if you think too much about it. Definitely play there again.

A wonderful course with many challenging and interesting holes. Generally quick greens testing one’s putting accuracy.
Great elevated outlooks from the tee and splendid water hazards along well manicured fairways making this course arguably one of the prettiest on the Gold Coast.
Certainly a course that will present new challenges no matter how long one has played it.

Have always enjoyed playing the Glades layout – however this weekend past the greens were in abominable condition for a $100 course. The pin placements obviously hadn’t been changed in some time given the heavily trampled area around each hole. Pitch marks are becoming a hazard in themselves and the last 3 greens under repair are barely playable. Would have been nice to have been advised before playing.
Will be back but only once I’m confident the greens have improved.

What a course. The best on the coast i have played ( havnt played lakelands or royal pines). The bent greens are without a doubt the best greens on the coast if not in queensland.
A pleasure to play, Typical norman course with big deep bunkers but very rewarding if attacked off the tee.
A must for any serious golfer.
To all golfers out there please repair your pitch marks on the green.

Had a wonderful experience. Condition was excellent and it was one of those days when we got to the 18th tee and felt like we had only just got to the course, such was the feeling of relaxation within the surrounds. Being a higher handicapper I found this course a real thinkers course with room to play safer or times when you can run the gauntlet. Only downside I observed was the way some golfers leave the greens with unrepaired pitch marks. Especially being bent greens, they need special attention. All over a great day.

A nice course on a cracking day meant an all around good experience. Despite the heavy rain the day before the course was in great nick and as others have mentioned the greens are unlike most others on the coast. I like them a lot with the only minor blemish being that they are littered with poorly repaired pitchmarks, not critising the maintenence its more players at fault here.

Beautiful course, great presentation and service.
We started early and ordered some sandwiches after playing nine holes and they delivered freshly made ones as we teed off on the 11th.

The last 3 greens were obviously not the best way to finish such a great course but we knew beforehand that they were under repair and 69 bucks at the earlybird rate was excellent value.

Would definitely play this course again when up back in the Gold Coast!

I teed off at 5.10am on a weekday and was impressed that all greens and holes had been freshly mown and cut. I really enjoyed the course which was in great condition.

I was aware that a green renovation program was in place prior to booking and was pleasantly surprised to find out that 15 greens were in top notch condition and only 3 under repair (I was expecting 18 cored greens – much worse).

They supply pitch mark repairers in the carts but it was obvious that many visitors do not use them. I found the fairways quite generous, however the fairway bunkers were quite deep which made it very difficult to make the greens when you landed in them.

The sand in the bunkers was too fluffy with my golf ball plugging on two separate occasions when may ball landed outside the bunker and bounced in.

PROS

  • Great condition
  • Some really nice holes

Cons

  • Sand in bunkers too fluffy
  • A few too many old pitch marks on greens

Fantastic Course. Lots of challenges with bunkers and water. Lots of water. Fairways and greens were all in top condition except for two temporary greens and one rather poor green that was in play. Highly recommended. I used rental clubs which cost around $50 but having said that, they were a full set of Cleveland Hibore XL’s! They supplied complimentary tees and pitch repairers. The carts lacked a GPS but did have an onboard cooler bin (Esky) complete with ice! Highly recommended challenging course. Play it!

although many recent reviews have been complaining about the state of the last 3 greens, which is completly true, this is only short term. The layout of the course i found was extremly good, and it was a pleasure to play a resort course that use its layout to present a challenge rather than just adding heaps and heaps of length. Most tee shots require decision making, as bombing a driver might not always be the best option. The greens were extremly receptive which made pin huniting a little easier. With the help of fellow players repairing pitch marks and the club itself having good processes in place, pitch marks shouldn’t be a problem. It dosent really affect the putt anyway.

Considering we have had around 200mm of rain since xmas day and apart from the last three greens the course is awesome, three groups had a very testy but enjoyable round!

I share the sentiment of others that the closing 3 holes were a little disappointing given the state of the greens. Although the greens are heavily divoted from the recent rain, the greens presently give great value for attacking shots at the pin. Excuses that it affects putting and the whole game are rubbish…..if you knock it near the pin it matters little. Great value for $69. Those that also whinge about drink carts….my advice considering they give you an esky full of ice is to pre-purchase your drinks before 1 and 10. Very simple.

Played the Glades on the NYE and couldn’t have been more dissappointed with the service.

Faults included being hurried along by marshalls, greens keepers all over the course slowing play down, no drinks cart till the end of the round and 3 holes almost unplayable. Will definatly think twice about choosing this course again at even the discounted price the iseek offers.

After having heard so much about the Glades for the last 7 years I decided to go and play with the ISG discounted voucher. Tell you what, I am happy I only paid 66 dollars, I would have been very angry had I paid the full 130 dollar green fee.
The course in itself is a great layout but the greens were covered in pitch marks, as others have said, HUNDREDS of them, making putting very frustrating. The last 3 greens are under repair with a temporary green (basically a patch of fairway) in place.
If I go back to play there it will be in a few good months when the greens are playable.

First time at The Glades and it is a great course for all standards. As other reviewers have noted, the last 3 greens are in very bad shape with a temporary green in play on 17 so a disappointing way to finish.

Teed off by myself around 5:30am and didn’t have in front or behind me so played 2-3 balls each hole which is a great way to
play.

PROS

This is the 3rd round I’ve played at The Glades. Unfortunately the weather didn’t match the quality of the course so that made it play differently, still a challenge but enjoyable.

The greens staff have been doing it tough with disease outbreaks on the last 3 greens, hope they get ’em back as playing on the Bent greens is such a pleasure.

Didn’t get the little extras in the cart like other rounds so that part of the service was missing, wonder why.
I really enjoy playing this course and the discounted fees will make it more accessible in the future.

Stopped at the pro-shop as instructed before proceeding to first hole.
Told that we would catch the end of competition after 3 to 5 holes.
First tee — group of four overseas players on the green for 15 minutes.
It took 3 hours to do the next nine holes.
Marshall apologized and said we should not have been told to go off the tenth.
Discussed this with the pro-shop manager — his comment was that we had played the first nine too fast !
Have not been back since as The Glades appear to have no focus on customer care and ongoing business.

The Glades is one of the best courses I’ve had the pleasure of playing (and I’ve played most of them), great layout however this time the greens were a little two paced and I found them hard to read. Quite wide fairways however with the right amount of trouble should you play a bad shot.

A must to play.

Played Lakelands the next day and was a little dissapointed – The Glades is in way better condition.

Overall was a truly enjoyable experience to play at the glades, the course staff were helpful and friendly. Playing as a two ball we hit 18 holes in under 4 hours at a relaxed pace with no real pressure from behind or waiting in front. Its a beautiful yet difficult course with plenty of challenging shots, bring plenty of balls (just don’t expect to get cheap ones from the club house!).

Superb course! My playing partners couldn’t beleive the price we got this course for through i-seek. Worth every penny.

The holes were exactly what you would expect from a Norman designed course – risk and reward, there are no free shots here. The last 3 holes have to the best I played with the 16th and 18th tempting you to take on as much water as you dare to reduce your iron into the green.

The greens had been cored less than 2 weeks before we played and we would never have known to look at them. They held when a ball was thrown into them and were true to putt on. Fantastic experience

Can’t ask more from a course.

The last group played in a five the starter told us they were only playing nine holes, you will get a clear run on the second nine, we waited on every tee these guys had no idea of golf.

Three hours later we reached the tenth tee only to find they had let the local residence hit off the tenth it was the the slowest round i have ever played in 30years of golf.

Walked off after 9 holes to sum it up they need a marshal, number 2 dont over book the coarse. be weary of this when your thinking of booking a game.

Had a very enjoyable game here on my first round.
The fairways are generous and it is pretty obvious where you need to hit it. Lots of 3-woods off the teee, except for the par 5s, so you don’t need to be a big hitter. The bunkers are deep and have heavy sand – so try to avoid them at all costs.
And then there are the greens – very difficult. All are raised, so miss and you have a tough chip. All have subtle breaks and are very fast – are real test of how good you are with the putter. If you do play there, please repair your pitch marks!
I’m not a huge fan of resort style courses – but this is one of the best. Play from the blacks for some interesting tees.

Having played the Glades when it first opened a few things caught my eye. The greens were soft, still fast but loaded with pitch marks. Probably the result of the cheaper prices getting a broader range of golfer. The service isn,t as good as it used to be, and you are now paying for range balls,as I think it is probably leased.
The layout though is still one of the best for rewarding good play and punishing bad, and I never tire of it, though to compare it with other courses of this stature on the coast without having GPS is a let down. The course is simply to big not to have it.

Have played the Glades a number of times over about 4 years, and am always pleasantly surprised by how good it is when i come back. Course is always in great nick, with greens fast and challenging. We play from the blacks for some extra length, but always find that it is not a long drive that rewards, but the position for the next shot is more important. You need to play it twice, the first time to remind yourself of the best position for your shot on the hole, and the second to get a good score after learnings from the first time.

The natural beauty of the course, particularly when finished and sitting outside the restaurant with a beer is a great feature. Lastly the staff make for an enjoyable experience from the time you arrive.

Very challenging in that water plays a part in nearly every hole and greens were lightining yet soft. The fairways are some of the best i have ever played and every bunker played the same. The attention to detail aswell was excellent. Only issue i had was that playing on my own i caught up to a group of 4 older golfers who wouldnt let me play through when i caught up to them on the 14th.

The Glades is a formidable challenge from start to finish. While I feel if you have your A game with you a good score is not out of reach, if you however miss your target by a couple of feet you are penalised as in true Greg Norman style. The course and complex are also visually pleasing, and while I have always thought I would never live in a golf course complex, I might reconsider for this one.
All holes were challenging in their own way, with my favourites being the 9th and 17th. The staff were all welcoming and efficient without being over the top which is how I prefer it. If I were to have a grizzle about anything it would be that the bunkers had maybe too much sand which is something I am not used to and that the greens had a large amount of visible damage from plug marks which unfortunately seems to be at all courses.
Overall an extremely good golfing experience which I would have no hesitation in recommending to everyone and yes I will definately be back.

First time player at The Glades. One of the best courses I have played. Quality of the course (greens, bunkers, fairways) was better than I have experienced at any other course to date. Excellent condition and a beautiful looking course. Quite challenging in there being quite a bit of water on the majority of the holes. Helps to hit it straight – not very forgiving. Quick greens and soft sand makes for great experience. Great service from bag drop off to 19th hole. Would play more often if wasn’t so expensive.

We played off the gold tees as 2 of our 4 were part-time golfers and the black tees may have been too challenging. The course was presented in pristine condition. The lnading spots on the fairways were forgiving but the approached to the greens were challenging as they were well bunkered and if you missed the green then you could pay a heavy price. The greens were slick (4 3 putts from under 20 feet!!)with a number of multiple breaks. Having played Hope Island I consider Glades to be not as difficult but still challenging.

Unfortunately it was raining quite heavily when we started our round, as we travelled from Ipswich, we opted against the raincheck option and played. Once the rain had stopped and water drained off,and along with a bit of sunshine, the course revealed itself as the most attractive and exciting course i’ve ever played. We are looking very forward to playing further rounds [with more desirable weather of course]on a regular basis.
As well as the course being second to none, so was the service.

It was a pleasant course, however I wasn’t blown away by it at all, espcially given the outstanding reviews it has received. The course was extremely wet, so much so that the carts were not allowed on the fairways – which was a good thing as they were sopping wet. When we were on the fairways we would probably 95% of the time end up in an extremely wet area and have to take a drop. Looking back, they probably should have closed the course. The greens were ok, but again nothing to write home about – was disappointing to see vast amounts of unrepaired pitch marks which detracted from what could have been OK greens to putt on. Perhaps playing it in drier conditions may have improved my experience, however not enough in my perspective, for me to consider it an outstanding course and justify the green fee of $100+, and definitely not one of the Top 20 public courses in Australia.

Played Hope Is the day before and would say that The Glades is by far the more challenging and also a much better layout and condition.

It has more elevated tees, longer par 4’s, especially off the black markers, and better more truer greens. Would rate it in the top three i have played the other two being Brookwater and Moonah Links in Melb.

From the moment you drop you bag at the bag drop to when you finish, this coarse is great. Challenging with just enough water to keep you honest.

Great staff, great course (although a little dry) and great facilities. This was a good challenge for me and I played to my handicap of 35. Managed to avoid the sand and the water and only lost 1 ball. Play moved very well without too many delays – course marshall kept things moving nicely. Overall a very enjoyable golf experience.

Really enjoyed the game,this was a birthday present from my friends wife which i booked through the net.

Started the game well then by the 3rd we were asked to let a group of 2 pass which was ok then by the 5th we were asked to let another group through for which we couldn’t work out as we had to wait quite a while.

Then on the 7th we were asked to hurry up as there was a group of about 30 playing shotgun through holes 1 to 12 [why weren’t we informed of this ],from then on the marshall was constantly harassing us to be quicker which made us all feel quite uncomfortable to the extent where we were not enjoying ourselves.

PS pissed off, we payed good money to play golf

Played early morning – found the staff obliging and helpful. Course was in very good condition – greens were typical of bent – fast and true. Fairways were a joy to play off. Found the layout challenging with the biggest test the last few holes. A memorable experience!

Regardless of cost there are very few that compare both in service and overall quality of the experience.

Staff are exceptional, Even on a busy day when dual tee times were in effect we were not held up all day and the marshalls did extremely well moving around the course to make sure nobody held up play.

From the challenging bunkers, various water hazards, well designed course layout I have now started going back time and time again and enjoy the course more and more everytime.

The staff are by far the best and genuinely friendliest of all the golf courses we have played at and we play at a lot. If you have not had much experiance with sand bunkers I suggest that you get either lessons on how the best way to get out of them in 1, not 5 :-). just a great enjoyable course.

The back 9 comes into a world of its own with long fairways and very true greens. I also loved the service of the drinks and food van along with the burger and cold beer at the 19th.

We have played many courses on the Gold Coast and were impressed with the staff welcome and their support getting onto the tee. We thought the condition of the course was up to a very good standard.

We played toward the end of a weekend and the greens showed a bit of wear and tear from pitch and spike marks but despite this they were still in reasonable condition.
The Glades is certainly a course we will consider playing again.

Considering the amount of rain seq has endured over the last month the course was extremely playable. The greens were rolling true but a little slow, but still a fantastic putting surface considering the rain. (and the moon walking corporate day before us!)Some strong golf holes typical of Norman’s designs, with the course suiting a drawer of the ball. An enjoyable course that we will definately be playing again,

Nice design and good value at $70 inc cart compared to $130 normally. Nice touch with the bag drop in the car park and a bucket of ice to keep your drinks cool. Might expect GPS in the carts for this level of course. Only downside was the standard of the greens, they looked like a herd of elephants had been running over them with loads of spike marks and unrepaired pitch marks. On closer inspection there was very little root structure, probably caused by neglected maintenance. Surprisingly they played better than they looked.

Being a high B grader I thought I played well to my handicap, was punished (not too badly) for errant shots but was well rewarded when the envisaged madness came off the club face. The greens were as true as I have ever tried to putt on. Thanks to the staff who offered advice and direction to get us on and around the course, we really enjoyed The Glades. See you again.

Excellent golf course, beautiful bent grass greens and overall well manicured.Nice friendly staff,great facilities. It is however a disgrace to see how many pitch marks are not being repaired.Pitch marks show very clearly because of the softness of the greens and I just can’t understand that a golfer can walk of the green, oblivious to the damage he had done to it. Is this the mentality of someone who feels they pay so much that they don’t have to care? Please fellow golfers, those greens deserve better treatment.

Great to return – played in 2001 just after it opened (club was on 12th tee in a house), unfortunately very windy when played Sun Nov 23 which made it a bit tough esp. on some putts & longer water carries (helped on others) & caused a few issues (balls that sink) when water was around. Very friendly on arrival & young asst pro in shop very heplful, was advised to let a social group get clear & surprisingly no one booked for 45 mins after us so had a very clear unrushed venture.

Course has matured well (trees growing etc.) & still a good test & lived up to my memories … loved the greens – still think they are the best on the GC … well they are like Sydney’s and the grain not so influential as the others up there … generally course was in A1 condition … happy to return.

Would rate it in top 3 on GC (excl Arundel private ) but a bit more expensive than others on rack rate

We played Sat 27/9/08. Great service from the staff upon arrival [Adam was great!]. Beautiful facilities and restaurant. We played off the black tees and it was a great challenge. On nearly all of the holes your course management had to be spot on. There were some really long par 3’s and par 4’s and the approach to the greens were always challenge. The fairways were in excellent condition and the bunkers were well cared for. We are all high handicappers and we still enjoyed the challenging course.

My only neutral/negative comment would be that the greens had just been scored and that the pro shop failed to mention that when we made the bookings. This essentially made puttng a lottery.

The staff were great, due to a shotgun start commencing at the similar time to my scheduled tee off, they kindly gave me 2 buckets to hit at the range.

Picturesque and challenging are the two words that spring to mind with this course.

I play the Glades quite often, due to 3 things. The course has a great layout, the fairways and hazards are in great nick and they are by far the best greens on the Coast. I can’t believe that a couple of the reviews listed here state the contrary. I have played the other courses that are mentioned in that review, and loving each one for different reasons, cannot believe that someone would think the Glades is the worst of the 4. I repeat, best greens on the Coast, receptive and run true.

Played the course in early March and was surprised how well the condition of the fairways and greens were after the floods. Got a good morning and a smile from the staff member out front even though we pulled up in a Vic plated Toyota. Staff in the pro-shop were also very curtious and accomadating toward us. Had our hire clubs and cart ready to roll. Enjoyed the golf very much and for a high handicapper scored well. Only time I would play this sort of course is if on holiday, trade day or if someone else shouted.

Played the Glades in mid March 08 and this is by far the best course I have played on the Gold Coast. The condition and speed of the greens where great and from the back tees this golf course is very testing and very enjoyable. The $130 price tag is a bit steep but compared to some of its rivals it seems good value. The staff were very helpful and the food was excellent. The whole environment was relaxed and welcoming and I really enjoyed my day at The Glades.

PROS

  • Great condition and excellent greens
  • Testing layout from the back tees
  • This is what a resort golf club should be like.

Cons

  • $130 is still on the high side

Dear DarenG, I played the Glades today, and lets get one thing straight, the bar staff was awesome. reason for attitude towards you, was probably because you are hard work. your attitude was inappropriate and expect them to slave to you. Time to wake up, get real, live in the 21st century!!F nuckle

Played here on Sunday 24.02.08. Excellent course, especially for my level of experience. Forgiving in parts and merciless at other times. Greens were the highlight of the course. Maintained in excellent condition. Reception was good, pro-shop very good – bar staff need a big attitude adjustment. At 11.30am looking for a drink before play, and you would have thought I asked for her 1st born with attitude I got from her.

Great Golf course staff in golfshop, bagdrop and restaurant great! Walla and BigKev has issues with yardage markers? They are everywhere!

All to the middle of the green!They are on every spinkler head and sand plates on the fairways! Pace of play? was awesome, they had a field of 165, we still got round in 4 hours.

One mention, if you decide to play behind a corporate day!get a life!expect those sorta rounds anywhere, even if its a par 3 course!wake up

all in all, The Glades, AWESOME!

Having played the Glades early in January 08, when SE Qld was under water, I was very pleased with the course and its ability to drain.On the whole the Glades is a fantastic layout with some picture perfect holes.

I play the “Glades” Golf Course on a regular weekly basis and having played most courses on the Gold Coast found the Glades to be an absolute pleasure to play. With fabulous bent grass greens and excellent fairways there are challenges on just about every one of the eighteen holes that will keep the average player to Professionals thinking about their shot making talents. If you are heading to the Coast for a golf break this course should be on your list of things to do.

Couldnt agree more with previous comment by Bigkev. I played Brookwater,Robina Woods, Hope Island and the Glades over the long weekend and this was by far the worst of them.The greens were absolutely sub-standard and the distance markers non-existant. My group based our course selection over the weekend on some of the comments made in these forums and cant believe some of these people played the same course! Course uninspiring – would not go back here again.

532. BIGKEV1 | Rated | 02 Oct 2007 | Add A Review

Very over rated and not value for money. We played 4 courses over the long weekend and this was the poorest of them. The greens were bumpy and slow and the distance markers don’t exist. I think that of the courses I have played up in this area you would be much better off playing Robina Woods or Hope Island for that sort of coin. also 5+ hrs is not much fun….Nothing special about the course in my book.

533. brownie19 | Rated | 30 Sep 2007 | Add A Review

This is a more than memorable course. Fantastic layout that is beautifully presented. Lush fairways. The greens were spectacular – the tropical bent grass is a delight to putt on. The course is 9/10.

Unfortunately the course management was terrible. It took 6 hrs which is unacceptable when you are paying such good money. We did not see a course official until the 17th hole and he really didn’t care how long we had to wait and was more concerned about the corporate day hacks in front of us. Each hole had at least 3 groups waiting to tee up. This needs considerable improvement. With so many good courses on the coast I won’t be back until this improves.

without doubt the best course I have played anywhere .Its layout condition, scenery,and service all excellent.the next time I can afford it Iwill play it again.

Played the course yesterday and I must admit this is really the best course I have played. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the course was magificent.

The course is very challenging with a good mixture of challenging par 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s. It includes various elevation variations and some water carries, some bushland and some very challenging bunkering.

The best aspect of the course though is the magnificent condition. If you are on the fairway you will always have a good lie. The bunkers are in excellent condition and the greens, whilst challenging are in great condition.

I would definitely recommend this course, it is relatively expensive and misses some experiences such as GPS in the carts, but the course is magnificent and well worth the money to play this course. I will definitely play again.

I have played the major courses in Qld including Brookwater, North Lakes, Pacific Harbour, Royal Pines, Palm Meadows. Lakelands, Robina Woods, Hope Island, Sanctuary Cove (the Palms and the Pines) Pelican Waters, Noosa Springs Lugina Keys and many more in this calibre, not to mention Royal Melbourne, Huntingdale and some great courses in the Hunter Valley. The reason I tell you this is so you know I have a good benchmark to rate this course on. I have played it 3 times and I believe it is in the top 5 courses I have ever played in Australia and definitely the best one in Qld. Beautiful bent greens (which kill bermuda greens) great service and fantastic layout and course condition. Do not miss this on a Gold Coast holiday.

Played The Glades Monday 16 Oct had a 9:10am tee off. Turned up no one to collect bags so we had to unload ourselves but as soon as a BMW arrived there was someone to get the bags (not happy). We went into pro shop very helpful service the went out $130 less in the pocket. No gps just a two sided bit of card with the course layout on it (very avarage), proceeded to the first tee and WOW this is awesome wide fairways good bunkers positions and condition front nine greens affected by some bad sand/soil topping and fertilizer burn otherwise good fun. Halfway went to get a bite to eat and got bitten in the pocket again 2 pies 2 udl cans $21 thank you, they didn't have the pies ready we went out back nine and got our food from the food/drink carts on the 13th hole (starving) got 2 more udl cans $14 thanks again. Some very picturesque holes on this course but very playable for high handicappers. Overall cousre 7/10 service 3/10 cost 4/10. Worth playing but save your pennys as it will cost you!!!

I played here a few days ago and it is an absolute gem to play. Wide fairways for the unexperienced golfer. Strategically placed bunkers and trees for the more advanced.

A must play course if you have the time.

540. Tapey | Rated | 18 May 2006 | Add A Review

I've played here a few times now and both my brother-in-law and I just love it! Of all the wonderful courses we have played this is the favourite.

It includes, what I consider signature, Greg Norman bunkers, is nearly always in beautiful condition and the staff are fantastic.

Along with Bonville & Lakelands this one heads them as the top three courses on my list.

I can't wait for my next trip to the Gold Coast to see if I can't get my own hole-in-one as my brother-in-law did last time we were there!

Played at the Glades early last week, and was most impressed with the condition of the course, and the treatment by the staff there. Most enjoyable day. The back nine was the most challenging with several water carries on the last two holes. Best course I played on the Gold Coast.

542. tommo2 | Rated | 04 Nov 2005 | Add A Review

Played 15/02/05

If you want to feel like a millionaire (or you are one) this is for you. Lush fairways, true greens (only ones of their type outside Victoria so I was told) and a challenge around every corner which is what a lot of golfers want. Just a bit daunting for this 20 odd handicapper.

Probably deserving of five stars but cost compared to similar standard courses on the coast plus the lack of a laid back, Aussie feel drops it for me.

One of those "I've played there" boasting courses.

The Relic

543. margaux | Rated | 17 Oct 2005 | Add A Review

Excellent all-round condition makes the course a pleasure to play. Some attractive holes on the front nine (see below) although some fairways are probably too wide to be a good test of golf.

My group presented early in case we could start earlier, but the tee was fully booked. After hitting off about 18 minutes late, we took just on 2 3/4 hours to complete the 1st nine before abandoning the 2nd nine. I recommend playing the course, but in the morning. Would play again sometime.

Well after teeing off at 12:15 and only getting 15 holes in before darkness, I guess disappointment was going to be my reaction to The Glades.

I have noticed Troon golf no longer manage The Glades. So that might be the reason that it was not what I expected after playing The Vintage earlier this year.

The course itself was not that bad with only the greens were not to standard, they were slow and bumpy.

Will have to go back and see if my day was an out of the ordinary one.

545. slats1972 | Rated | 23 Mar 2005 | Add A Review

This is a very good course but lacks some of the user friendly items expected at a course such as this.

The course itself was fantastic in condition and challenge - probably a little too challenging for a high handicapper such as myself. The course was in good condition and layout fantastic.

Where I think the course lets itself down is in the amenities available to visitors such as accurate course guide and distance markers on the fairways.

The only course guide provided was a double sided bit of cardboard with a diagram of each hole and whilst distance were marked on the card, the distances were for the back markers, not the socail markers, leaving you to guess a bit at the distance to the hazards in the driving zones. Whilst the sprinkler heads on the course have distances marked, 150m and 100m would not go astray so you don't have to run over the course looking at sprinkler heads.

Having got used to GPS during the week we were there, it would be nice too considering this is a $150 course, (we paid $70 for after 2pm).

Despite my gripe, I think it is a very good course, very typical of a Greg Norman design.

546. baldie | Rated | 15 Aug 2004 | Add A Review

A very nice Greg Norman design that needs to be played more than once to grasp the concept. A credit to green staff maintaining very good Bent greens when all others have Bermuda 328 hybrid couch. The greens were holding nicely and a good quick pace. Well looked after bunkers and terrific fairways contributed to sub 80 round. Great last 2 holes,17 a water surrounded short par 3 and 18 a long par 4 dogleg with endless oportunities to mess it up depending on the bravery of the player.

I have now played at the Glades (four times), what a course, what service and what a good time! It gets better and better each time: the course; the staff; the greens; everything. It simply gets better and better. Although, I can't say the same thing about my golf on this course.

You can be having a good day and it jumps up and bites you. But if you stay focussed and forget about how close to heaven you are, on this course, you can do well.

If price is a big consideration for you, stay clear of this one. But if price is not an issue, it's worth every cent.

I love the 17th, Par 3 with water to your left and half the way around the green. Don't be just on or you'll be in the water, the left hand side of the 17th green runs to the water!

I love Troon courses, and this one is just another reason to love them.

548. korned108 | Rated | 28 Jan 2003 | Add A Review

For anyone who wants to know what golfing paradise is, look no further then The Glades.

This course is tough, from the back tees, but the beaty of the course makes you forget any bad shots that you have hit.

Holes which stand out would need to be the par 3 17th, which is over water and the second hole.

The club house looks awsome when you are out there on the course.

And all of the staff are very helpful.

Even though the green fees are fairly pricey. You will get every dollar out of it.

A very special golf course. Plenty of water & sand. You will really need to have your game at it's best to score well around here.

What a wonderful course, wow. The first time I played this course was like taking a finely tuned race car out onto a deserted race track.

Each time I have played at the Glades, it's just that much better than the previous game. I will be back again and again and again, though the price tag might dig into your pocket, I would suggest joining golf bank, which does lower the price.

The Glades is another of the Troon stable as most people know. This makes it synonomous with 5 star service and impeccible course grooming and great choice in terms of play.

The Glades, whilst expensive, is indeed a treat giving the golfer an experience unsurpassed by other 'normal' courses.

Free excellent range and short game facilities are available after dropping your bag with the friendly staff and a topnotch locker room for preparation for your round.

Once your set to go the starter informs you and your part of the day's pin placements and any other details you need and you're off! Gift pack includes an excellent yardage book, divot repairer and towel, free tee in the cart. Sweet.

The course's deisgn is interesting and varied with the fairway and greens of fantastic quiality and consistency.

Greens when I played were remarkably soft, making the whole target golf concept more possible than our standard firmer bermuda greens locally. Whilst not all are guarded with bunkers they are quite well featured and contained some excellent undulations of their own making putting a delightful challenge.

The fairways are quite generous and undulating giving a slightly links feel to the course, however the amount of water that comes into play provides a great challenge. Bunkering is great and the signature white silica sand makes them marvellous to play in instead the normal hardpan or packed bunkers I normally have to play out of!

Overall the Glades offers a complete package in terms of both service and a wonderful course. I can't wait to play again!
