From the Chicago suburbs so the elevation change was fantastic compared to courses at home. Everything about the course was great. Unique back 9 with no two holes being the same. My son and I have played 63 different courses in 6 states. This is easily the most enjoyable.
Probably my favorite course in UT during the fall!! Back 9 is challenging but beautiful and still so fun
This is in my top three courses I’ve ever played! The secluded and beautiful yet accessible mountain golf that you get is incredible! The price is fair, the staff is helpful! And the course is stunning! If you get a chance to play, I recommend playing the back nine! Especially hole 14. In my opinion, it’s the most beautiful hole in Utah. I will always recommend Gladstan and I will be coming back for many years.
It pains me to write this because I love this course, live close by and have been playing it for decades, BUT the 8-minute tee time intervals have destroyed the enjoyment. Hobble Creek is doing it right and is always sold out, but still very enjoyable to play anytime. Beyond the overbooking, the administration is, perhaps, the least customer-friendly in Utah. They continue adding annoying aspects to the experience, like obnoxiously restrictive cart boundaries and simply rude messaging. They also have no course marshals to assist in keeping play moving.
An incredible course! So beautiful! However, a warning to everyone. This course is selling tee times that they know people can’t finish. We tee timed at 5:30 on the back 9 and couldn’t play the last two holes. And there was one group behind us. There were several groups that couldn’t finish either. I tried to talk to management and got absolutely no help from them. Pretty disappointing end to a great evening of golf. So don’t book anywhere near the last hour of the day, hopefully they stop selling those times anyway.
