Overview
The 27-hole facility at Glen Oaks was originally designed by Joe Finger in 1971, and over the past decade, a significant renovation was overseen by director of grounds Craig Currier, the former superintendent at Bethpage who helped transform the Black before the 2002 U.S. Open, and Joel Weiman of McDonald and Sons. Fairways were significantly widened, creating the ability for shared fairways on hole Nos. 5 and 11, 8 and 13 and 14 and 18. Despite the widening of the golf course, there is still plenty of challenge available for golfers. Several holes have green sites protected by ponds, and the ones that don’t have plenty of bunkers, where balls can easily find their way into.

“Played the White and Blue nines. All fairway bunkering is inside of the dogleg with more left than right ones. Similar distances on pairs of par 3's with ponds being featured similarly on Blue 6 and 8 and all playing downhill. Some terrific risk/reward holes such as White 5 a driveable par 4 with bunkering protecting the green but offering an area of approach and Blue 11 and 18 with water protecting the driving areas to see how much the player wants to try and risk cutting off. The Spieth and DJ scorecards from the Northern Trust 2017 are proudly posted in the locker rooms along with DJ's plaque on 18 where he bombed a drive to set up birdie and the win. There seemed to be a feeling of being too pristine with the course conditioning and lacking character or an identity."

“Glen Oaks is very well maintained course that sits on a very large piece of land outside New York. Many of the holes are fairly similar (especially weak par 3s) and some of the design features of the course are quite curious considering the tee box placement. A really good example of this is the 9th hole on the blue course. 410 yard hole with water left, but the carry over the water with a driver is only ~180, so it really does not make sense for player to do anything other than go over water, especially considering how lengthy of a shot it would be if player laid up to the right. Holes such as these make one wonder what this course could potentially be if there was a bit more thought that went into hole setup and design (Blue #2 is example of hole that has very strong design features, but holes such as these are generally lacking through the course of the 18 hole round)."

“You will not find a better manicured course in better condition than Glen Oaks, which hired the superintendent that oversaw all the work at Bethpage."
