Confirmed from Glendoveer Nature Exercise Trails' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Two-mile trail winding around a golf course for walking and jogging.
What runners say about Glendoveer Nature Exercise Trails
“Well maintained and safe.”
“This is my favorite place to walk,its a 2 mile loop covered with cedar chips on the trail so it is never muddy and soft on the joints,also beautiful scenery.”
“This is a great two mile loop for walking or running.”
“Trails are well marked with mile markers.”
Traffic on three of four sides so one cannot avoid all the fumes and street noise, but a nice little trail in the city around a public golf course. The trail is mulched so there are only a few muddy patches even when wet.
This is my new favorite spot to walk. I was nervous going alone but it's so many people there, you won't be scared at all. So please don't let that stop you! It's beautiful here. I was just there yesterday. Will be going again tomorrow.
It's a two-mile walk all the way around the golf course very nice. I have walked around that Golf Course for many years and lost about 50 pounds doing it.
This is a great 2.2 mile walking/running trail around scenic Glendovere golf course. The trail is bark so regular strollers don't work in this trail.
