Overview
The Glen Club, just north of Chicago, is a Tom Fazio design built on land that for over 70 years was a Naval Air Base. Fazio transformed the once flat land into a rolling layout with undulating greens and an abundance of natural vegetation. The scenic course features vistas of the Chicago skyline in the distance.

“A fun course that would not be much a challenge for the good golfer but lots of fun for the average player. Conditioning is good, especially the greens."

“it was good to return to the Glen Club as it has been a long time since I last played it. It is a solid Fazio course and it’s pretty amazing what he did. A former flat Air Force base, Fazio designed a course that had rolling topography and plenty of movement. The front side is probably a few strokes harder than the back. The fairways are enormously wide, but definitely one side of the fairway was better than the other to have an easier approach into the green. The difficulty is length on a few par 4 holes that had elevated greens and the surrounds of the greens provided the difficulty."

“This is a great public golf course. Not often can you play a Fazio design in a public setting. This design is fascinating. Greens are really good. Conditions are great. There are times on this course with the vegetation that I thought of the gorse and the holes in Scotland. If you visit here on a cold, windy day, you may feel like you are playing in Scotland, at least on a couple of par 3s. Love it and it is a must play public course in Chicago."

“A tough course shaped out of former, featureless airstrip. More difficulty than fun here. You'll want to play it once, maybe twice. Many people will feel it's an expensive place to play, with slightly inadequate value."
