This well-maintained course features a Scottish influence because of its hilly terrain. The tree-lined fairways are tight and hilly, and the conditions are usually windy. Robert Muir Graves redesigned the course in 1982. Tee times are reserved for weekends only. There are additional tees that can be used when playing an eighteen hole round.

 Gotta get there...:), Oct 28, 2011 |

| I played this course a lot when I got out of High school. It was super exciting then and is the same now.When I come down from Tahoe and visit I always try to play at Glen Eagles. While playing I have never worried about the projects.The course is very challenging and you will have a country club experience at the end of the day. |

 Watch out for projects!, Oct 20, 2010 |
| reviewer: Jack
from TN, USA |
| I played this course only a few times 20 years ago. It is a walking course - very hilly. One time I played with a regular who had a bad limp. He explained to me that while walking next to the projects on the fifth fairway he had been shot. This was the cause for his limp. I have no way of confirming this but I didn't ever feel comfortable playing there again. One of those things you never forget. |

This is a great course, Jul 01, 2005 |
| reviewer: David Waring
from Seattle WA |
| I played this course for 6 years before I left the area. I'm glad to here it is still the same. Bill Young's description is spot on (with the exception of Lee Trevino's scores). He was going after the record that if I remember correctly was 67 at the time. This is a very tough course. You will pay for every mistake. But it is a fun to play and the 19th hole is wonderful. I never thought of it as at nine hole course. It is a great 18 hole course, you just happen to use each green twice. |

Tough course with small greens, Jul 01, 2004 |

| The guy with the Lee Trevino story is a bit off: Trevino did play this course, but shot 70 and 71. |

Satan's Glen: Hardest Golf Course I've Played, Mar 05, 2004 |
| reviewer: Bill Young
from San Francisco, CA |
| Glen Eagles gets a lot of negative press due to the location (in the hood...there are projects off the 5th hole), and the fact that it's 9 holes only (though you can re-play it from different tees to make it 18). But the main reason everyone hates it, is because it's hard as hell. Every shot is a utility shot...there is something in your line, you're on a hill, the angle is impossible, the distance make carrying difficult, etc., etc., etc. With a slope of 139, this is one of the hardest courses you will ever play. And the "roughness" of it is simply part of it's charm. Let me put it to you this way...Lee Trevino played Glen Eagles years back, while practicing for the US Open at the Olympic. He couldn't break 80...in two rounds. This was in his prime. No, this course is not high-class. Actually, if you need an umbrella in your drink or someone to pick you up at your car so you don't have to carry your bags...don't play Glen Eagles. If you're a sportsman, who wants the ultimate golf challenge...come out to Glen Eagles and try to break 80. When you don't - just head into the bar and have one of many beers on tap and a hot dog. Relax, nobody else broke 80 either. |
