If you're thinking of playing there play Heron Lakes or Bryan Muni instead. My son played STPGA Junior Tour there today and it's the worst golf course I can imagine. Very little grass in the fairways, mostly bare dirt. Bunkers are completely unplayable.

They STPGA officials let the kids move the ball to a patch of grass in the fairway and lift balls in the bunker and rake to create a lie.

I can't believe the place is open and I can't believe they charge to play there.

Hmm sad to hear. I play in an annual tournament there every end of July. And it's always pretty good
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

My son went to play a practice round with some friends a week or so ago and told me the fairways were dead but since he's 14 I figured he was exaggerating, but he wasn't.

Sign in the pro shop says it's cart path only until further notice.

There's a lot of nut grass in areas which I think will choke out the bermuda.

They over seeded the fairways this last winter i think....i heard everything was dead out there a couple days ago. I thought the guy was exaggerating as well.....guess not

I wonder if same guy/team takes care of gleannloch. Their greens have too much grass....they are rolling ok now but grainy and will get really slow soon

Overseeding just seems like asking for trouble. I don't mind a dormant; tight lie heavy course in winter.

Overseeding is severely overrated. It ruins the best times to play golf in Texas, October/November and April/may.

STPGA was at Gleannloch today. It's in good shape.

Never played AP but I'm guessing it's bermuda. Why, in Houston, Texas, anyone would feel the need to over-seed that, I do not know.

Shame too. Traditions is my favorite of the courses in my rotation. I've heard AP is similar, if not better.

I've seen this board complain about Gleannloch a lot but I always enjoy it. TA gonna TA, I guess...

I live in Gleannloch but am not a fan of the course, mostly due to heavy play and greens. Yesterday the greens were really slow but the fairways were really good for what I remember them being Compared to Augusta Pines on monday it was like playing Augusta National.

My biggest issue with Gleannloch is the traffic. When I left for work this morning there were 8 foursomes on number 1.
