Glens Course at Tenison Park Golf Club

White Rock Creek is the predominant feature of the Glens Course, snaking across the route and a providing a haven for stragglers looking to cool off with a dip, bag a few spare balls to sell, or even catch a catfish or two for supper. It’s hard to believe but we’ve seen them, swimming around like it was Caddy Day at Bushwood.

The creek comes into play on the par 5 No. 2, which offers a challenging test of target golf, and is a nice complement to the opening hole--also a par 5 but much easier because it plays straightaway downhill and is void of hazards. This track also finishes with a par 5, a long push up the hill back to the new clubhouse.

For now the Glens, despite its confusing new name, is your chance to relive the old days of Tenison. It still sports the look and feel of the old hustler days while providing a cheaper alternative to the Highlands.

Getting there : From I-30 east, take the Dolphin Rd. exit and turn left. Drive over the highway to Samuel Blvd. and turn right, then make a left into the park/course entrance.
