"Great course"

11/14/23: Review by B-Man

Teed off around 12:40pm but didn't finish until 5:20pm. We had a few slow groups in front of us with no ranger on the course. I don't understand why you have a starter but no on-course marshal to control pace of play. That was really my only issue. The course was in...

Description

Located just off Highway 321 five miles north of Lincolnton and easily accessible from Highway 16, Glen Oaks is a well-established, semi-private course that opened for play in 1967. The Management and Membership take great pride in landscaping, manicuring and maintaining some of the finest fairways, bunkers and greens to be found in the area. The course features a challenging and interesting layout with some severe doglegs and carries over water on 7 holes.

Notes

Claims to have the best junior golf program in the area. It begins in April with an 8-week instruction course and runs thru the summer with matches at Glen Oaks and other courses in the Catawba Valley.

B-Man's Take

I haven't played Glen Oaks yet, but due to regular rave reviews from other players, it's high on my must-play list.

    "Great course"

    Have been playing here on & off for nearly 40 yrs. I’ve found it very hard to top… especially if you like golfing where it’s calm, clean, & neat with decent patrons around you. Much like the town of Maiden itself, Glen Oaks is a nice, relaxed family oriented facility where prices are reasonable. It’s actually a better bargain than all of its neighboring courses.. especially ones in the Statesville direction. The facilities here are top notch.., the clubhouse is relatively brand new as are the Golf Carts which are always spotless! Like many older courses that started small and evolved Glen Oaks has a few odd holes for sure… however I consider that to be ‘character’.

    "Below average"

    Not worth the ~50min drive if you live in Charlotte. While I thought the layout of the course was interesting, the overall conditions weren't great. Beat up tee boxes, some patch rough and fairways, etc. The par 3 8th hole is currently using a temp green cut into an adjacent hill. They recently punched and sanded their greens fwiw. Likely won't be going back anytime soon.

    "Great course"

    Second time playing this course and I like it more and more every time. In my opinion the course offers a great balance of scoring holes with challenging holes. The greens and the fairways are in excellent condition. Pace of play was good, there were groups in front of us but overall we didn't have to wait and pace of play was right on average. Everyone has always been great, pro shop, snack bar, etc. Only issue is since I live on west side of Charlotte it's a 50 minute drive. If it was closer I would play here twice a week!

    "Worth playing"

    A little disappointed in Glen Oaks, but temper that with higher expectations. Probably as in good a shape as most anywhere around, but I can't recall seeming weeds on that course before. Also, the greens were in great shape, but rolled slow for some reason. Didn't look to be shaggy at all, maybe the gravity is different in Lincoln County? Tees traps and fairways all in good shape, except for the afore-mentioned weeds.

    "Great course"

    Found this course on GolfNow, played there relatively cheap, the guy inside asked how I found out and told him Id found it on golf now, he was like they had just started using them in the last little bit and has helped generate traffic to the course which is good to know. The course itself was in great shape, few greens had some isolated issues but most of them were in great shape, fairways were excellent, definitely a course you will want to play a few times to learn the layout and where to hit the ball, plays quirky in the way the holes are laid out, but ill definitely be visiting again to play!

    First Emerald Lake. Now Glen Oaks. What a shame.

    Can't post a review since it is not included in the listing, but everyone should know about Glen Oaks in Maiden, just north of Lincolnton. About 15 minutes further than Verdict Ridge and I rate it over VR in regards to conditions an even layout. A very lush, well established course with lots of water and very well tended traps. A number of holes with a little bit of funky to them, as has VR. Best greens and fairways I have seen in the greater Charlotte area and this has been the case every time I have been there. Greens were a little slow today, but with temps in the 100s, I would rather see a little slow than a little dead.
