Glendale Golf & Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play a round at Glendale Golf & Country Club if I'm not a member?

Glendale is a private club, so you generally need to be a guest of a member to play. We recommend checking their website for any specific guest days or reciprocal play agreements they might have with other clubs you belong to. It's worth the effort to find a way onto this course.

What's the signature challenge or unique feature of Glendale's course design?

You'll quickly discover Glendale's greens are its true test-they're notoriously quick and feature subtle undulations that demand precision. Pay particular attention to the par-3 14th; its elevated green guarded by bunkers makes for a thrilling, yet frustrating, challenge if you miss your target. It's a hole that will stick with you.

When is the best time of year to experience Glendale Golf & Country Club?

We find late spring, typically May and early June, offers the best experience at Glendale. The course is lush, the fairways are firm, and the Canadian weather is usually ideal for golf without the peak summer crowds. You'll get to enjoy the course in its prime condition.

Beyond the golf, what makes the Glendale experience stand out?

Glendale truly excels in its overall club atmosphere; the clubhouse offers fantastic dining with views of the 18th green, perfect for a post-round meal. Their practice facilities are also top-notch, giving you ample space to warm up or fine-tune your short game. It's a complete package for a day out.

What practical advice do you have for someone playing Glendale for the first time?

Our best advice is to prioritize accuracy over distance off the tee-Glendale's tree-lined fairways can be unforgiving if you stray. Also, consider walking the course if you're able; it's a beautiful, walkable layout that truly lets you appreciate the design and subtle elevation changes. You'll get a better feel for the course this way.
