Golf Course At Glen Mills

Course is in fantastic condition !!!

This course lies up to the hype. By far the best public course in the area. The course is very hard but it is an absolute blast to play. The greens are fast and true and the course is very well maintained. We played after a big 2 day rain in November and the course was dry except for a few holes in the lower areas by the creeks but that is to be expected. The prices are steep but for what your getting it is worth it if you can afford it. I am a 90’s golfer so I probably will never play in season for 100 $ but this is a great off season course for 60 $. The views are awesome and the pace of play was quick until we got behind one group of guys who obviously are not serious golfers. Etiquette would have told them to let my twosome play through their three some but hey you cant win every battle.

This is a fabulous golf course. There are so many gorgeous views out here it’s ridiculous! The course plays wonderfully with blind tee shots, gorgeous elevation changes, un-​even lies and greens that require your attention from all around. You must pick your line off the tee and stick to it. Hole 11, if you’re a long hitter 240 is your max from the tips and you better be accurate!

Beautiful, challenging course. Not cheap but worth the price. Very well maintained. By far my favorite course in the greater Philadelphia area.

This is my favorite public golf course in the Philadelphia area. The course is challenging, dynamic and has some absolutely stunning holes. The course weaves through the hilly countryside and woods and has some great views. In the summer it can be hard to get tee times but thankfully unlike other public courses they are usually on time and space the groups out enough that you can usually finish within 5 hours even on a weekend. They have a range where you can hit some balls before hand and in the fall they have a great Sunday afternoon special when the Eagles are playing which is the best value.

The best public play course in southeastern Pennsylvania, PERIOD! The look, feel and play are that of a private country club (but with absolutely no attitude). The course layout is challenging but fair, The course is always in great condition.

First off this course is more than just about golf for the young men at the Glen Mills School. The Glen Mills School was the nation’s first reform school for boys. The course is a recent addition as a means to both raise revenue and teach job skills to the students in golf course management and maintenance. Some of the students have moved on to college programs in golf course management. The boys here learn not just job skills but life skills.
At $ 105 for a Sunday tee time with cart and range balls, this was the most expensive round of golf I have ever played but this was also the hardest and best kept course that I have ever played. It was well worth it. The greens were fast and rolled true. They were extremely difficult which put a premium on an accurate approach shot. The fairways are tight and require accurate tee shots.
All in all a great experience!

This is a really good and challenging course, one in which you need to hit your shots straight. The myriads of bunkers, deep rough, scattered boulders, and well placed trees, narrow fairways, and several blind tee placements, will keep your head on your game. And the greens — lots of undulation and unpredictable speeds throughout the course. They also have a very friendly and helpful staff. The $ 79 green fee is reasonable for a public course of this scale and shape. The only negative I found is that you’ll need a cart to conquer the hilly landscape, but it’s not a cart friendly course as you won’t be able to gain close access to lots of fairways and greens from the concrete cart paths, so you’ll wind up doing a fair amount of walking and climbing anyway. Having all that said, tee it up and treat yourself to a great round.

Wonderful course. Quite challenging unless you’re scratch or low handicap, but great course layout and immaculate. If you’re in the area, check it out.

I don’t have one bad thing to say about this place. Absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. I can’t even really complain at the cost.

One of the best, if not the best, public golf course in the region. At $ 95 its not cheap, but its a beautiful layout that is impeccably maintained… worth every penny. The 12 minute tee times really give you a chance to play at a good pace, I think we waited on the back 9 once or twice. Its also great that the holes are separated by elevation, trees, etc, so you never feel like you are on top of any other groups. My only complaint is the lack of a layout on the cards or the course, so as a first time player you don’t really get to understand where you should be hitting it on a few of the front 9 tee boxes.
Great, great course.

This might be the best public golf course I’ve ever played. Unfortunately it’s $ 95 a round, so it’s tough to play often.

Best Course Ever,
So Happy my Friend Michael invited me!!!

my favorite golf course in Delco.

I love this course.
I consider myself picky. Very picky in fact… and I love this course. Some Challenging holes. Some holes that are more of a «break.» Beautiful views — especially in the fall.
This is where I take people golfing when I want them to be impressed.
As one reviewer put it — it’s a little pricy — but you get what you pay for.
The practice areas are great and are right there on site (something I’m surprised to find is a minority in this area). The people are friendly. The food is good and not over priced.

So here’s the deal with Glen Mills, the layout is terrific, the course is in terrific shape, the greens are challenging, and the staff is friendly. The downsides are that it is pricey and it’s in the middle of nowhere.
However, the single best part about Glen Mills and the reason why I would choose to play there over just about anywhere else is that it saves me time — and time is my most precious resource. Glen Mills spaces tee times at 12 minutes, not the usual 8 at most courses, and the rangers are diligent about monitoring slow players. This means that it doesn’t get nearly as backed up as most courses and your chances of getting trapped in a 5 hour round are much lower here than other courses. Well worth the investment.

Excellent course. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Great layout. Excellent condition.

This course has been rated one of The Top 100 public courses in the U.S. and I must admit, I’ve played it many times, it is awesome. Interesting variety of holes, always in excellent condition, reasonably priced for this type of course, around $ 79 with cart. I don’t know what they’re thinking. Played it this past Tuesday. Their rough was one as in past U.S. Opens and I don’t mean the one last week. Virtually around almost every trap there was rough so high, if you were lucky enough to find your ball it was virtually impossible to hit out. On many of the holes, just slightly off the second cut of the fairway was just the same. Myself and my fellow golfers that day, enjoy a challenge but seems silly to take much of the enjoyment of a great golf course away by having us trying to hit out of rough between 1 and 2 feet high.

If I could give 10 stars I would. What an amazing golf course. Perfect conditions, excellent staff and just a fun course overall. The front 9 are fairly open. wide to semi-​wide fairways with big greens. The back nine is much narrower and it takes some strategy to attack the hole. Every hole is different and just a complete blast to play. Lots of old trees that really make for a scenic and just peaceful atmosphere. The pace of play was perfect at 4hrs 15min. (for a Saturday morning your really can’t ask for better). At $ 95 a round I don’t think you can get much better. I play a lot of different golf courses in the tri-​state area (Wyncote, Broad Run, White Clay Creek, Lederach, Honeybrook etc.) and Glen Mills just moved into first place in my book. If you love golf and can control where your balls goes make it a point to play Glen Mills you defiantly will not be disappointed.
