Greens had disease

Couldnt hole out. Automatic 2 putt. Ball bounced off line. Greens are horrible. Confronted staff about the issue became defensive and gave excuses and alibis. Course will go out of business sometime this year for good.

Diseased greens

Couldnt even putt out on the greens due to patches of crab grass or disease? Horrible value. Workers know it act defensive about conditions. No point in wasting your money. Place will permanently close soon. I would say 3 months.

Glen Abbey -Florida

I thought I would play this course that has the same name as the iconic home of the Canadian Open in Oakville,Ontario, which I have also played years ago for probable $200 CDN.

It was okay to fill in time before an appt I had in the area today,but I have crossed this one off my "return to play list".

Course needs work.

The course is in poor condition and not being cared for. There was a fully decayed dead possum carcass laying beside the green by the car path on the front nine. It was very apparent that no staff had been by the green in at least a month.

The weather warmed up nicely and the sun was out so all in all it was a beautiful day. The course is coming around. The greens are the biggest problem now. They are definitely making every effort to improve them but Mother Nature does things at her own speed and it's hard to rush her. It is a very enjoyable round of golf at a very reasonable price. Ryan is still there working very hard at getting it up to snuff.

Mark this on off the list.

Had a good day with my brother. But all previous reviews I've read are spot on.

It appears from a distance to be a nice course. But once your on the course all expectations are dashed.

Fairways are like a cow pasture. There were a few decent fairway approaches but that was about it.. mole holes/ trails.. tee boxes were basically nicely mowed rectangles..

Now the greens..... inconsistent patchy, don't count on your ball rolling the line you putt.. a 3 at best out of 10.

But last of all the cart patches SUCK!

The course is being worked on and improvements are being made A new member of the staff - Ryan - is doing

an unbelievable job of cleaning up and cleaning out

the entire course of over growth, dead trees and removing dead branches and palm fronds. The difference is amazing. Good Job Ryan!
