With residential development in progress at the site of the former Glen Lakes Golf Course in Glendale, the future of one final city-owned parcel there remains undecided.
Back in October 2020, the City Council voted to amend the city’s general plan map to redesignate zoning for the golf course from agricultural to planned residential development, which made way for Trevino at Glen Lakes, a 173-home community on the site’s almost 43 acres. Glen Lakes Golf Course opened in 1966 and became public when the city bought the nine-hole course at the northeast corner of 55th and Northern avenues for $1.1 million in 1979.
The course officially closed in May 2019, and Towne Development purchased the land from the city for $6.5 million seven months later.
