Crepe myrtle, elderberry and oleander plantings are an aesthetic addition to existing magnolia, oak and towering pines which frame most fairways.

There are about 4 or 5 greens that NEED attention. Everything needs rain and fortunately we got a little on Monday.

Better than last time

I was skeptical about playing Glen Abbey again after my last time a couple of months ago. I was pleasantly surprised that the overall condition is a lot better. Fairways and greens are much better than some of the other courses in the Deland/Deltona/Debary area. Worth the money.

We need rain and so does the golf course. They are watering but hard to replace Mother Nature. The greens are much better than they were 2 months ago. I truly enjoyed my last round.

The greens are really getting much better. The fairways are looking better as well and have been cleaned up/out a lot. Definitely a fun and enjoyable day.

The greens are coming along nicely. There is a need for repeating "golf etiquette" to many of the players on this course - they don't seem to have any idea that there even is anything like that. The entire course is much better and will be even better if it would rain.

18 on a Saturday morning

Had a great time. The course would benefit from some rain and a lil tlc...fun layout and challenging holes. Back 9 offers tremendous views. Greens are starting to come back but made rolling the rock a bit challenging...

Like it better than going to driving range

Fairways and greens in need of major work. Lots of bald spots in fairways and lots of those star shaped "weeds" on the greens. When putting the ball can bounce along anywhere. It's a nice layout and the staff is very friendly. 18 holes for $18 around 3pm is a good practice day.

Attempting to improve the course conditions

As a visitor to FL- I get there has been very little rain over the past month or more- and the grass is just germinating this time of year. It was good to see them watering the tees and fairways to improve the course conditions. I played at the more expensive Victoria Hills a few days prior to Glen Abby and did see ANY evidence of any watering going on there.
