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.

Don't play this course

If you read most of the other comments, they say about what I am goiing to say.....At least 12 of the greens are unputtable as they are extremely rough and are covered in weeds. You can not judge break or speed as the weeds impact the ball to extremes. I don't care how cheap the rates are,,,if you can't putt you are not playing golf.

The greens’ are in horrible condition!

Decided to play this course with friends and we all agreed to never play this course again. Staff very friendly and top of the line but the greens need to be completely redone. The grass makes the ball jump and bump around, making it very hard to putt.

challenging fairsways

wow, 4 dog legs left, a good distance. Four dog legs right, and the perfect distance to make the turn, but have someone position (with golf cart) on the top of the bend, FYI able the hit the ball at unseen players. Glen Abby a fun course, if you want to practice on your draw and fade.

The greens are "Bump - Bump - Bump. Very difficult to putt on. They have cleaned up a lot of the course and removed a lot of the excess growth along the edges of the fairways. Still some problems with water in low lying areas.

Cheap course, bad greens.

I don’t need anything fancy, and this course is right on budget at $25 for 18 holes.

But the greens had no consistency. One of the groups i played through on even joked about practicing for the course by “Putting on a wood floor”. Lots of grassy lumps and bare spots on the greens.

I don’t need a perfect green, but some consistency would def improve the experience.

The staff are always friendly and super chill. One of the reasons I like this course is because of how casual the whole vibe is. It’s just a place that people go to swing a club and hang out. Maybe have a few beers and enjoy yourself. I’d love to see the conditions meet the friendly vibe of the staff.
