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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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.

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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.

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.

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. ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show

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 ... Show
