First time in Iowa and first time in a country club. This restaurant has a great view of the golf course and a wonderful atmosphere. But enough about how beautiful the place is, the food was delicious. Since I was there for dinner I had the pizza.The staff was super polite and easy to talk to. They mentioned the pizza and the best part is that I could order a half a pizza and have as much toppings as I wanted....so I did.I ordered a half pizza with pepperoni, chicken, bacon, mushrooms, and onions. The pizza came out of a stone over and tasted amazing. If I lived near this place I would have lunch here just about every day. The best pizza place that I can relate it to is &pizza. Its a flat crust with fresh toppings. You cant go wrong with the pizza if youre here for lunch.
Glen Oaks was a dream wedding venue! We had our ceremony on the croquet lawn, cocktail hour on the beautiful veranda, and the reception inside. Such a unique and gorgeous venue - I loved having different areas and rooms for our guests to go. It truly felt like we had the entire building. The staff is also amazing! Emily - the event coordinator was absolutely fantastic to work with. We emailed back and fourth through the entire process and met 3+ times and I have to say she is the most organized/professional human being I’ve ever met. I don’t know how she does it! She is truly the BEST at what she does and she made our day exactly what we wanted with the perfect timeline. She handled our wedding so well - we couldn’t have done it without her. I can’t thank her and Glen Oaks enough!
I thought a mistake was made with my order but to reassure me the cook brought in two samples and they tasted the same. He was very patient and very kind. Thank you! Very fancy and classy! Nice people!
This place is amazing and staff was super friendly and courteous. Pro shop was merchandised very well....one of the best I have ever been in.
Greens are tough. Fareways are wide enough. Price for guest seem high but couldnt complain after playing 18 there
Awesome golf course. Was in great shape. Highly recommend.
Beautiful facility and golf course. Amenities galore. Pool with mini water park and slides. Surrounded by million dollar homes. It is a look at how the other half lives. Gated community with 24hr a day guard on duty. If you can afford it, this is where you should be. If you have to ask, you cannot afford this.
A lot harder than Ames GCC...
Friendly, attentive and helpful staff. A very busy venue on the evening we were last there and the restrooms were very well kept up!
Our BNI meets every week at Glen Oaks. I really like Glen Oaks for many reasons including the staff, the breakfast, the business friendly environment etc. I cannot speak about the course since I have never played on it. I have also been to a wedding reception here and it was very well done with great food, great service and great dancing. This photo is me with an original mini Cooper that was parked in the parking lot today. Pretty cool!
A beautiful venue for a wedding. We were here and it was all good times. Their meals were delicious and the staff was super nice.
Imagine this. I go into the Glen Oaks for a nice lunch. I go to my table where my waitress tells me the drinks are complementary. I order a Pepsi feeling fancy. The bill comes and I realize THE DRINKS WERE NOT COMPLEMENTARY. 2.50 PER POP. I feel so cheated. Betrayed. I do not recommend.
Amazing atmosphere, super friendly staff and amazing food. Love this place!
Very nice golf course with fast rolling greens. The staff was very good and accommodating. The bartender was friendly and knew what he was doing. Clean facilities and excellent amenities.
They don’t pay their employees. Beware!
What a beautiful place. Was there for meetings and was completely impressed with the layout and the views from the clubhouse. Service was on point at all times. They kept the tables cleared when food was served. Never missed a step. I look forward to next year and possibly a visit before then.
Levi and logans wedding was absolutely fun and exciting. Congratulations to them both
Very clean nice place. Great food and such a relaxing time by the pool
Disclaimer: I am not a resident or member of Glen Oaks. I have been to the clubhouse as a guest of a friend for a couple events now. I thought it was a very nice place well kept and a very nice atmosphere.
Amazing Staff. Gone out a few times. Love the service for members.
Beautiful place for the outdoor wedding my family had there.
Top notch. The GC looks great. As always the food. And service are wonderful
A very nice place. We go there every year for a Christmas party and the food is always great. Parking can be tight if the place is busy.
Excellent place to get a round of golf in. I tried them for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. Will be back.
Beautiful course and first class staff and dining
Stellar! Superb! Attention to details with excellence..Had the great honor to serve with Mallory for Callie and Bradys wedding. Mallorys help and attention to the little things...priceless. The entire Glen Oaks team was spot on. I caught them having a coaches meeting before dinner, reviewing their game plan and highlights with their team,...to make sure the newlywed’s night was memorable forever!!!
Very nice place and great for events which was the reason I was here.
Elegant setting, friendly staff and the food is divine. We attended a Christmas party for Silvercap Wealth Management at the Country Club. We had a very good time.
Great staff... Good Food... Judge Smails
Wow! Weve spent the last couple of weeks visiting our in-laws who are members of this club so weve been able to go with them to the pool, out golfing and for various meals. We dont live in the area, but if we did I would venture to become a member - the club is amazing. The grounds and surrounding area are very well kept. Weve tried plenty of options - from the more formal restaurant to the more casual fare by the poolside and each time the food was fantastic. Definitely a nice gem in the heart of Des Moines!
Fantastic service and food. Always great to be with the Masters group there for holiday meal.
This is a great country club. We typically visit on special holidays for the brunch buffet (including a massive thanksgiving feast). We also use the swimming pool in the summer and it is perfect for our little kids.
Course is much improved. Great greens. Clubhouse is dated. Pro shop is expensive.
Great venue and wonderful food at the lunch buffet. Highly recommend!!!
25th Anniversary Party was amazing!
Beautiful. Great pool with water play and water slide. Very formal inside and clean but definitely snobby atmosphere. Located inside a gated community with million plus dollar houses. If exclusive, expensive, and stuffy is your thing. Go for it.
Awesome golf as always!
Most racist manager ever I would not recommend working here if you are not white I was the only African American banquet server. I worked my butt off and I called in one time the whole time I was working there call and told the manager I was sick he said that fine. After I called in he took me off the schedule and never told me why. so 2 weeks went by I emailed the manager no response for 3 weeks. called hes boss and told him what happened and how unprofessional the manager was being with taking me off the schedule and never responding back to me. So he to me he would talk to him after that call I got a email that I was let go. I asked what the reason was. he told me I request off to much. I said well you approve my days off so your letting me go for something you approved. Why am I getting treated differently from others and they never even gave me training I just went with the flow of things worst place ever to work if your not white.we live in 2017 they need to get with it their is other races in this world
Great venue for conference! Generous catering!
Went for a wedding, beautiful esthetics.
One of the nicest country clubs in the Midwest. Very tough Golf Course, great service and wonderful food.
Worth the time to play a round here if your lucky enough to get invited. Grounds are well cared for.
Clean quite but dont understand why people pay as much for the houses there behind a metal fence. Its like their house and them are in jail lol
Fabulous Wedding Venue! Staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. The food was amazing!
The course was in great shape as usual. Wish I couldve had the Oreo malt shake!
Great service. The best food.
Great place for a wedding
I dont play golf but my employer lives there and it is incredibly clean
Outstanding. If you ever get the chance play Glen Oaks.
Nice place. Love the club house.
Weve held several events at Glen Oaks over the years. Their team of experts along with the various banquet room options, makes this the perfect setting for your next company or private gathering.
Great place for good food at a cost that you get what you pay for
Loxely facility. I would highly recommend it
Glen Oaks is perfect for the family! Top notch service, great food, and even better people!
