Glendale at Glendale Golf Course

Glendale Golf Course, a Salt Lake City institution since 1959, stands as a testament to accessible, community-focused golf amid a burgeoning urban landscape. This is a course where generations have learned the game, embracing its quirks and unpretentious charm.

Designed by William "Billy" Bell Jr., Glendale’s parkland layout weaves through mature trees and gently rolling terrain. The course favors a strategic approach rather than raw power; its tree-lined fairways reward thoughtful shot placement, while subtly contoured greens demand a deft touch. While its architectural style isn't lauded, Glendale remains a popular and affordable option for Salt Lake City golfers. It isn't particularly notable, but is known in the valley for its tight lies and demanding green speed, especially for muni players.

Beyond the course itself, Glendale fostered a tight-knit community spirit. Locals speak fondly of the friendly atmosphere and the unwritten rules of the course, particularly on busy weekend mornings. It’s a place where golf is less about competition and more about shared enjoyment of the game. It's a true local hangout where the spirit of the Salt Lake City golfing community lives and breathes.
