Slow, bumpy greens

The greens were slow and bumpy with patches of sand. Tee boxes were also sandy, and fairways were in typical dry Florida winter condition. There was also a threesome in front of us: three 20-somethings, two carts, one bag of clubs (to be fair, only one person actually appeared to be playing golf) and one very loud boombox that could be heard from the green back to the tee box.

Overall great golf course if the greens were in better shape. From the horror story reviews I’ve read online I would say course has come a long way. The dog legs are great for some hero shots.

Greens are unputtable. Weeds were growing in the greens profusely. Ball bounced in the air 1-3 inches instead of rolling. Either sell the course to someone who will take care of it or shut it down it’s a disgrace!

Greens need help

I enjoy playing this course. Diane and Nancy inside the pro shop are great! Other than the greens, conditions are acceptable. Course has an interesting layout. Right now the greens are miserable. You can see that grass is trying to grow in spots but it creates a very bumpy experience on most putts. On some greens I just gave it a 2 putt maximum. Hopefully, as the weather warms, the greenskeeper can straighten this out. I know the greens can be better. I've seen it.

Overall just bad

Only worth playing here if you need to swing the clubs and it is a day that not many are on the course. Terrible shape and pace of play is really really bad. Greens are in terrible shape as well.

Beginner Course

Glenn Abbey is a great course for new golfers or golfers on a budget. It’s very relaxed and stress free. Course is in decent shape. Tee boxes are bad but the fairways are okay along with the greens. Whenever I want a cheap practice round Glenn Abbey is a go to. I wouldn’t spend over $40 to play here.

Works on a pinch

Last second booking. Better than not playing golf but far from good. Recommended for beginner golfers since you won’t be pressured to hurry or worry about minor infractions.

Fairways were acceptable greens decent. Everything outside of that was pretty rough.
