glenross golf club

A nice design that gives golfers of all levels a challenge.Course conditions can be a bit spotty at times but pretty typical of a public course.Condition of the greens are very firm but putt true and in good shape for a public course with the usual ball marks to fix.Decent clubhouse and can handle outings. Saw some folks there for wedding so guess you can add special events as well.Can get a bit crowded especially on the weekends but no more so than your usual public course near a large metropolitan area.

Formerly Tanglewood GC, Glen Ross mostly kept and rerouted the holes south of Cheshire Rd. and built 9 new holes (back 9) and a subdivision on the north side of the road. I tried hard to like this course because it has good bent-grass greens, is generally well-maintained, priced competitively and the staff worked hard to accommodate our group of 8, which included 3 young kids, on a fairly busy Sunday afternoon. However, the course suffers from a boring par 70 medium-length (from the blue tees) layout on a flat piece of former farmland with few dog legs. Deep rough, uncut prairie, a few water hazards and plenty of (unraked) traps provide the challenges on this otherwise open track with very wide fairways. One interesting hole... #9. Good place for family golf, especially for beginners, and outings- the new clubhouse has a large indoor banquet area with a big covered patio. Generally in good condition, but the watering on the back 9 left the green-side traps rock hard. The pro shop honored the discounted online pricing when I called. I used to love to walk Tanglewood, but long transits from green to tee, especially on the back 9, pretty much require that you ride. Decent pace of play... just over 4 hours. Convenient location, just east of Rt. 23.
