From Recreation & Parks Fishing Guidelines:

2. Fishermen may fish in any lake, canal or stream, whether natural or man-made, which can be reached without crossing over or trespassing upon any privately owned property or golf courses.

and

FISHABLE POND
Location: Entrance of Glenview Country Club
Where can you fish: Along road (South) side of ponds
Two ponds on golf course cannot be fished


It looks like the Glenview person was correct. The pond next to the green on the north side of the entrance is one of the two ponds that cannot be fished due to being on the golf course.

It is easy to understand why this could be confusing. While "I've done it before and I've seen others doing it" doesn't change the rules, I hope the Glenview person at least tried to appreciate the possibility of a misunderstanding and approached the individual politely.
