Played the championship 18 holes this week for the first time in a while. The course was in very good condition and the layout remains a great test of golf. My member friend tells me that Glenmore has always suffered a little from lack of resources in the area of course maintenance and this combined with heavy and often careless social club usage does sometimes lead to a drop in course quality. I didnt see that on this visit. Greens were smooth and true and fairways well grassed. Some really soggy spots just off a couple of the greens would be my only gripe. If you want to really gauge where your game is at on a good quality testing layout I would highly recommend Glenmore.

PROS

• Course condition
• Variety of holes testing all clubs in the bag
• Challenging greens

Cons

• A few soggy patches around greens

I never liked Glemmore in the past because I didn’t know where to place the ball but now it is my 5th time playing and playing with a member has been the best caddie for me :-) I played better this time. I always play from Blue which actually gives correct handicap / course rating from the score perspective.
Two double boggies in front 9 was still due to incorrect amount of fade I put on my drive on 6th and hit the ball straight into water on 9th by having fly getting into my eye at downswing ! other than that just one boggey (3 putting) for the back 9 gives some good news of indication that I can play better as I play more. I had no problem with fairway and green condition – I like fast green. Bunkers now have more sands and so much better than before!
I will play again definately ! $25 including cart on Friday afternoon is something you can’t get elsewhere for sure !! I will try to hit even par next time !!! it is certainly a challanging course !

Some really testing holes on this course. Lots of hazards, bunkers and annoyingly placed trees to make you think about every shot you play. I played about 30 mins after a hail/rainstorm and the course was playing like nothing had happened.
Can’t wait to get back to the course.

ill start by saying, i played Glenmore a few weeks ago and WOW i havent seen the course in that bad condition in a long time. Fairways were cut to short, the greens were slow and bare. let me say i didnt see a greenkeeper all day (which i believe is unusual for a monday morning) until i went into the club house and they were having lunch, maybe they should focus more on the course and not there belly’s.

PS Barry, if its true that green staff were laughing at you during your round after bad shots the green keeper in the kubota hat and his mate should be seriously spoken to. to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

In regards to your comments Barry I know the person in question and find it very hard to believe. You can see a logo on a hat but cant see that the vehicle with two stickers about a metre long say workman not gator. What is the difference who is in a pro shop?, would you have complained if the pro shop was full of australians?

Let me start off as my day started off when i played Glenmore park about a month ago. Was greeted by helpful and friendly pro shop staff, procceded to the course, didnt play at my best but had a great day on the challanging layout and long holes. As my round was coming to a close and was standing on the 18th getting ready to play my tee shot, two of the greenstaff pull up in there gator to watch me tee off before they went to the greenkeepers shed, i teed off and flubed it straight into the water, i look over at the greenkeepers to see them laughing at me and my poor golf shot. this really put a sour note to end my round of golf, i was planing on saying something to the shop staff but they had a shop full of koreans so i just left them alone. overall great course but wont be returning after what the green keeper did to me. i dont know who they were but 1 was wearing a black kubota hat. i really hope this hasnt happened to any other golfers out at this course because its really sad and wrong that they treat golfers this way.

The course is good and the buggy service was nice but that’s where it ends. The golf shop staff are non committed and lazy. The round took 5.5 hours to play due to the greed of the club in allowing groups of five players per tee time, how ridiculous! Finally if you allow players of the caliber of 50plus handicap and no golf etiquette in these groups it only spells disaster for others. What a waste of time!

Played this course two days ago and found it challenging. The fairway grass was cut too short to my liking and the group I played with all agreed that the fairways were hard to hit off and as the previous reviewer said it appears that the frost has had a significant impact as there was a lot of brown on the fairways. The difficult greens were in great condition and played fast. The course is in a great location and it was easy to forget how close it is to Penrith. It felt like I was in the middle of nowhere. I will play this course again in the future, but wouldn’t like to play it in the middle of summer, as I could imagine that the heat would be unbearable. It hasn’t warmed up that much yet, but a red belly black snake payed us a visit on the 12th tee box.

Great course for the price. The fairways were a little brown, but that’s to be expected in the middle of winter with couch. The greens were extremely fast and fairly undulating with a really true roll.
This course has the longest par 5 I have ever played at 589 metres uphill and some of the shortest par 4’s around.
Tee to green is generally not a challenge with generous landing areas for drives. The greens seemed to be the biggest factor with regard to scoring. There were not too many easy two putts out there.

I played Glenmore two weeks back and did enjoy the experience. Definately a challenge for a novice such as myself. Great scenery I must admit. Didn’t get a chance to try the food so can’t review my experience on that front. Was certainly a busy course though.

I have played the Glenmore Hertitage Golf Course on 2 other occasions, and I guess I was lucky not to have experienced players starting their round on the 10th Tee.After having played the first 9 in good time, this can be annoying. I’m not sure, but I believe players are also able to start on the 10th when playing holes 10 through to 27.

Aside from the above, the course (holes 1-18) is in good condition with quite a lot of water to contend with, some of which is not visible until you’ve hit your shot and move forward.The greens were in excellent condition.

Better management of playing groups would go a long way to enhancing the playability of the course. Groups of five and SIX slowed down the play intolerably.

23. PenguinWoods | Rated | 14 Nov 2010 | Add A Review

Not a bad course. There is a lot of water. The course is not paticually long, however its a course where a good long tee shot comes in handy. The front nine goes through hilly countryside. They claim this is "links" course, but nothing about the course reminded me of a links of a course. The back went through more of a bushy valley. The par threes are pretty tough. The course can be quite punishing, but as long as you stay on the fairway, you should be fine. The greens are quite unpredictable, fast one putt then slow the next.
The pro shop was pretty understocked.
Overall 7/10

We played on a Tuesday and zoomed around in 3.45 hours. It was our first time at GH. The tees had been spiked and the greens were long so I guess they were in recovery mode after their spring freshen up. The greens were very slow due to the long grass but it was a very enjoyable day. Slower groups invited us to play through and pro shop, clubhouse and greenkeeping staff were friendly and helpful.

Both of use hit a long ball and it seemed that that course was not particularly long but we found that the layout demands that you use your head every now and then and leave the driver in the bag.

We look forward to returning when the greens are faster – I reckon give it a week or two.

This course is an interesting test of your golfing ability. It is not Riverside Oaks or Twin Creeks but you are not paying those prices either!

Played on 7 Sept. Greens were cored, which was unfortunate. Started of the back nine. Course layout was decent but looking brown with fairways running firm. Front nine was closed, which was disappointing, which meant we had to play the 3rd nine, which was a very basic & boring par 33 nine. More of a beginners nine. Overall experience was average and unlikely to return.

played links course yesterday off the blue tees, which were a little forward on most holes. A testing course with some long holes, hazards on most holes and OB’s coming into play as well. The layout is good and will improve in coming years when trees grow and greens mature. Greens in great condition and fairways were a pleasure to play off. be prepared for a 5hr + round on weekends though as pro shop allows groups of 5! great value with a cart included.

I am a member at Glenmore and would recommend it to anyone. Looking fantastic at present with a lot of bunkers redone. Water on 17 holes (well some should not come into play, but they do!). You must play the 6th hole from the plates. 590 metres, out of bounds on left, dog leg right, hazard all the way up the right hand side with the fairway sloping to the hazard. And once you have negotiated all this, the green is narrow, long and sloped back to front with a step.

Played today from the whites on the Links 18 (1 to 18), and even from there it’s still a reasonably lengthy and challenging course (5941m). The layout means that the longer irons or hybrids will get a bit of work off the tee to ensure good positioning for your second shots.

Fairways were a little dry looking, but the greens were pleasant looking and true, if not a little soft underfoot after probably being watered moderately over the morning. With a couple of pin positions less than 3 or 4 paces off the front, this meant that pins could be attacked on the shorter par 4s. Tightly packed fairway bunkers made approach shots a bit easier, however there were new traps around a couple of the greens where the sand looked a bit softer, which would make sand saves a little less daunting.

Just by looking at 19-27, I could tell that I made the right decision to spend a few $ more and play 1-18. Not many people on course today, so I went around in just under 4 hours with a mate. Well worth the visit IMO.

Not a bad course, however is not worth the money for the front 18 or back 18 as this 27 hole course has not had any money spent on the back 9.

I still play here due to it being close to home

We played here yesterday as a precursor to our social club event next week, and really enjoyed the layout and the golf in general. It was a bit slow (5 1/2 hours) but it was the group in front of us that was the problem. We had to play off the whites which shortened the course especially the par 5’s which were reached in two most times!! The index had us a little stumped as the harder holes by index seemed to play relatively easier then some others (according to us anyway)

The fairways were in great knick, and the greens were true and slick, while still rewarding a well struck approach. All in all a rewarding day out and very cheap. Bring on the Carl Spackler Invitational, I’m ready to win and the boys will enjoy this course, as it suits all golfers.

I played here today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I played from the blues and it was a real test and a course that you have to think on. It starts off with an easy par 4 but it doesnt take long to get tougher. The Par 5’s are the best with all but 1 true par 5’s where you need to think and their length makes them unreachable in 2. All but 1 of the par 3’s require a water carry which always sorts out the players that can carry the ball rather then those that bump and run long irons. The greens are large and very undulating. I think I had one straight putt all day. The fairways were in good nick considering all of the rain and the greens held well and ran true. It is a thinkers course which beats most of the courses around the area which involve bombing a driver and having a 9 or wedge to most of the par 4’s. I also played holes 19-27 which were much easier and are perfect for the learning golfer. These fairways and greens were also of a good standard. If you want a good test though I highly recommend the first 18 holes to anyone. It was only $30 whcih is more than reasonable for what you get. I will be back.

Tough course. Very long and unforgiving in some places. 3 out of 4 par 3’s are over water and the one that isn’t is long. Off the back plates it is a good test of golf and one of the toughest in the west.

Fairways are in good nick as are the greens which do provide some interesting contours. Good value with a cart and even better value in the thursday open comp.

Best hole is the Par 3 9th which boasts a full water carry. Many a ball has found the water there (including mine).

Played the medal day here on saturday morning, Easter long weekend, when rain was pouring down in Sydney City, Mulgoa was beautifully dry and cool with a little breeze. What a find! I had never heard of this place before. It ranks up there, I would say similar to Kogarah for features but much more tight and more water hazards and more undualted. Not flat at all.

Tight course where it is true that you need to think of shot placement from nearly every tee, especially playing from the back tees.

Greens are beautifuly undulating for the money you pay I expected flat greens and council-like features, but this place delivers the goods. The greens however were quite shabby and I’m hoping they are at the end of the season and by the looks of it, works had alreadyt commenced on some of the greens. Not the worst greens mind you, just need to be cored.

Overall, Im very impressed. Will be back for sure. It is only 40 minutes from CBD on a early saturday morning run.

Where do I start ?

PRO SHOP - Our social club ventured to this course recently and were greeted by the most uptight & rude "head pro" (as he kept repeating). Being a rainy day he informed me that I couldnt wear those "tracksuit pants" . This would be fair enough if they were tracksuit pants but they were not ! They were wet weather pants bought from Drummond golf only last week.He wouldnt budge and told me I would have to buy one of their rain suits ($60) They only had XXL and were way too big with the bottoms dragging on the ground, he saw this and with a smile said "make sure you keep them on all round"

Suffice to say I was not in the right frame of mind to play a good round of golf but thought forget about him and just enjoy the day as the sun had come out.

GOLF COURSE - We are a long running social club which plays all number of courses and this would rate as one of the most overated courses we play(10th to 27th). Social clubs start off the 10th, with the first couple of holes in good condition and good variety. The same cant be said for the next holes 13th, 14th 15th.

Good to see some water to contend with around this nine holes and some well placed bunkers in good condition.

18th hole is a tricky little par 3 uphill.

Have to say the half way shop is a very good pit stop with good variety of tucker.

NOW, The next nine holes (19th to 27th) Firstly the positives...THERE ARE NONE !! No creativity, no grass, no distance markers, no effort.We all know why... its only for the social players ! Who of course pay their money to play a good 18 holes. These holes should not be played on so SOCIAL PLAYERS BEWARE. Your better off going somewhere of better quality where once your hard earned money is paid you get a consistant state of play. I suggest Camden Lakeside, Riverside Oaks and even Massey Park and North Ryde rank as a better experience than this place. This tirade sounds harsh but they bring it on themselves with an arrogant Pro and poor service to social players (You shouldnt need to be a member to be treated equally if you have paid your $).

Camden Lakeside here we come !

Payed this course from the plates and was very impressed.You had to think your way around not just blaze driver on each hole. (4's & 5's) The greens were super, although some spot on greens could cause nightmares. Fairways, greens even hazards were perfectly maintained.

Not sure about being the best in the west just yet but most certainly has the potential.

The greens were so pure ie:Fast, no bouncing. Pick your spot, stoke it over the spot & bang it was in.

Over all a very good track.

I played this course yesterday and to me, it compares very favourably with Camden Lakeside and Macquarie Links but longer.

The back tees were in play (last Thurs. of each month) and for $15...the best value anywhere bar none.

Apart from the 1st which is soft, all the other holes with their doglegs and water hazards are just great. Less than 1 hour from Sydney, you MUST get there.

Don't be fooled by the location of this golf course. And despite the effects of past dry seasons, this is a very good course. It has something for every golfer!

Fairways are spacious, especially good for those who like to tee off with a driver on every par 4 or 5 they come across. The length of the course will ensure you'll get a descent workout despite the overall flatness of it all.

A word of warning though, especially when playing during the hotter months. Don't be tempted to want to retrieve your ball (however expensive) if you've hit it deep into the marsh containing bushes. There may be a red-belly black snake or similar waiting for you!

I found playing on windier days made it less straight forward and at times more enjoyable.

This golf course is truly worth a look at. It's got a good mixture of challenging holes and some par 3's require accuracy. It's not Huntingdale, but it will do for most players just wanting to get out there.

This course is the same one as the GLenmore Country Club, it has just changed names. It is actually 27 holes with main 18 being links style.

I am not a particularly seasoned golfer, not having played a lot of exceptional courses, however I can say that this course is good and getting better.

If you had of asked me a year ago I could have come up with a list cons for Glenmore, but today, there are few, and they are far outweighed by the pros.

Glenmore is a 27 hole course, with the main 18 being a par 72 links design, with a rating a little higher, and can be very challenging, especially from the blue markers.

As mentioned in previous reviews about Glenmore, it has some very long, tough par 5's. This is especially true with the 4th and the 6th holes.

Most of the fairways are fairly forgiving, but this course comes into it's own around the greens, most of which don't have a lot of spare real estate around them.

I do also agree with previous reviews, that the back nine is somewhat up and back again, but it is challenging enough to forget this.

Glenmore is set in a valley, about 5 mins south of Penrith and the setting is quite spectacular.

I have played a few courses both in Sydney and throughout New South Wales, but I don't think I have felt as comfortable playing any of them as I do playing Glenmore. Even when I play bad golf, which is more often then not, unfortunately, I still enjoy the walk around Glenmore. And for full membership of $675 and weekday of $440 (which is what I have), without a joining fee at present, it can't be beat for value.

With the ongoing improvements, including work on bunkers, drainage and the greens, this course is set to become exceptional.

Very much worth a round and once you've been here you might even want to stay, if you like a bit of a challenge.

Readers should be aware that this is a winter course review, and my opinion may be different in other weather conditions.

Nevertheless, the condition of the fairways at the moment takes a full ball away from the course rating. The grass cover was thin at best, and soggy in places where cart traffic seems to have taken it's toll.

Design-wise, this course has aspirations to belonging on the top shelf. The front nine in particular is links style, with humps and hollows and fairway bunkers featuring strongly. The par 5's on the front nine are very strong, at 530m plus other off-fairway challenges, but the back nine 5's are weak.

Thankfully, they have eliminated the hazard in front of the 4th green, making it a much fairer hole (its not an 'island' green any more) but the 9th green still has a camel's hump in the middle and the 14th still has a blind hazard at the 230m mark. There is also a sense of 'up and back' about the back nine that might irritate those who like variety.

Having said all that, the greens were very good and the bunkers beautifully maintained.

This course should be better than it is at present. Wait until someone tells you that it's in good condition, then it will be the best round for under $30 in Sydney.

As a member I might be biased but I believe with continued improvment in our courses condition in recent times this course could slip into the top 100 in Aus some time in the future.

From the moment you step into the historic proshop - a converted barn which must be about 150 years old you sense you are playing somewhere special.

The view over the 1st and second holes at any time of the day stirs your senses.

The first is an easy enough a short par 4 uphill to an open green.

The second is a well designed hole with a slight dogleg to the left around a overhanging gumtree and a left to right cambered fairway framed by three bunkers on the left and a huge bunker on the right. The second shot must avoid water on the right and a brook running from beyond the green. A pretty hole.

Thats enough information to wet your appetite.

Glenmore has open days on Thursday with TV's & Video's as prizes on on Thursay each month.

Glenmore has an ACR of 74 which suggests the difficulty here, but a game off the more forward tee's shouldn't provide too many worries for an 18 marker.

All I all, I'm proud to be a member here and always get favourable reviews from visiting players.

Most of the holes run back & forth in the same direction, on what is a poorly routed, poorly designed course by Mr Hak Kil Lee.

The greens have couch & paspalm storks all over them which not only makes putting a lottery, but if your approach shot pitches on one of these the ball will unfairly bounce over the back compared to the rest of the green that palys quite soft. All the greens seem to have this problem.

There are some challenging holes, although the course for the most part is quite open, so if you don't mind poor conditioning you may enjoy yourself.

Be careful of the hidden water hazards on the back.

Fairly open, but with more mounds than you can poke a stick at. A couple of the par 5's are long & quite difficult if you're not thinking.

Another great west Sydney course. Well worth a visit.

From the Blue tees this course can be a real test especially on the back 9 where water comes into play unseen from the tee on a couple of holes namely 14, 16 and 17.

The front 9 begins meekly enough however the Par 5 4th (545m) requires a long iron lay-up and then a precise 3rd shot to a green surrounded by a hazard.

The par 5 6th is a monster (560m) which generally plays into a cross headwind. The green is long and narrow requiring an accurate 3rd shot.

The Par 3 9th (174m) requires a tee shot that needs to carry the large lake in front of the green.

The back 9 has many dog-leg holes where accuracy from the tee is essential, particularly the Par 4 14th (407m) where a long mid iron is required for your 2nd shot.

The Par 3 18th is a great finishing hole as it is uphill and over a large pond.

The greens have improved markedly over the last couple of months and are now getting back to the glassy greens that prevailed when the new "Links" course opened several years ago.
