Still a problem with lack of grass on greens and tee boxes.

Few low spots in fairways but mostly dry and playable. Really enjoy dealing with the employees and the golf carts are better equipped than other courses. The carts may be older and are not electric but the design and configuration is very good. They seem to be working on it constantly so there is hope that it will get better.

The greens are pretty good but need trimming around them. Tee boxes are getting better with more grass on them. Thought should be given to putting water stations around on the course with paper cups and Igloo coolers full of ice water. As hot as it has been, that would be a welcome addition.

There is little or no grass on the tee boxes on many holes and the greens are vey bumpy. Grass needs to be mowed. Looks like it has been neglected a little too long. It needs help.

Absolutely zero maintenance, tee boxes are a joke, fairways are worse than most courses rough. Greens have weeds on them. Not worth it at all. Won’t be back

Dog track

It’s not an even good course it’s the worse course I’ve played. The tee boxes are trashed. The greens are not kept full of crab grass. Can’t make a 3 ft putt because of it. Pace of play is horrible. It took an hour to get to the 5th hole just to tee up. Will never step foot back here again

The fairways are still rough but the greens are improving. Now they have to work on Tee Boxes - they are terrible.

Slow play but it is Saturday and a lot of beginners were out accounting for the backups.

Great little neighborhood course

Glenn Abbey and the staff are great! The course was in rough shape early in the year but I’ve been golfing here weekly since April and in a month and a half they’ve really shaped the course up nicely. It truly gets better every week. The greens were kind of rough and the whole course was hard as a rock. They've worked on the greens that are coming along great and they’ve just core aerated to help with the hard ground and compaction problems. Can’t wait to get out after it’s rained a few times to see how much softer it’s gotten. For the price, the condition they’ve brought the course back too, as well as the friendly staff you can’t beat it!!

While it is obvious that current management is working hard to bring this facility back, it has seen some neglect.. the layout was interesting and it had some challenging holes. I hope to return when it is again in too shape.
