The Glades Golf & Country Club: Palmetto

We played the Pines Course at The Glades Golf & Country Club and had a great experience. The course is well-designed with a nice variety of holes — lots of doglegs, some tight fairways, and several water hazards that make each shot feel meaningful. It’s not overly long, but it definitely rewards accuracy and course management. The condition of the course was impressive. Fairways were well-maintained, and the greens were a real highlight — smooth, true, and just tricky enough to make you focus. They rolled great and added a nice challenge without feeling unfair. The whole atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, with a friendly and welcoming staff. You can tell this is a well-run community course with pride in its upkeep. It’s a great spot for golfers looking for a laid-back round on a course that still keeps you thinking. Overall, a great value and a course we’d gladly play again.

I've never played a course with such nice grass. Even during the hot summer months. What about the rough you ask? Can't tell the rough from the fairway! Simply put, the best course I've ever played. And I've played courses all over the country.

Beautiful golf course, friendly staff. Truly a hidden gem in Naples.
