Needs Help

Its a very old horse, most likely loved by locals. Greens, tee boxes, fairways all in bad shape. Time to put out to pasture, won't be back.

We had a blast, we are novice golfers and did 9 holes. Definitely worth the money if you are golfing for fun and not seriously.

Course features some challenge

There are some very scenic and challenging holes which make for exciting play. Greens do need some more attention with seeding.

Solid course. Good value.

Staff was super helpful and friendly. Holiday weekend, so we played pretty slow.

Greens are decent. A little patchy in places, but not awful. The whole course is pretty low lying, so it's generally squishy/wet on fairways and greens.

Set a new best 18 hole score, so this course ranks high on my list at the moment. Ha.

Needs work - help is on the way.

The greens are terrible. They are being worked on but right now they are terrible. They are working on cleaning up the course -getting rid of old dead tress and brush and seemingly doing a great job of it. In time, this should be an interesting course to play.

Very enjoyable

First I thought to write a really bad review to keep this little gem of a course from being run over by the crowd. But that would be unfair. After a few hectic and unpleasant rounds of golf on crowded courses on our ten day vacation here in FL, Glen Abbey was a great pleasure to play. From the relaxed friendliness of the staff, the lack of red tape to the layout of the fairways, everything was enjoyable. Of course there is room for improvement: The greens could use a little TLC, the fairways are currently dry (Yeah, that is nature), the carts could be electric and the restaurant could use a Michelin-Star chef, and so on. But what a nice course this is overall. We will come again, that's for sure.

Glen Abbey

A low end course at a cheap price. No complaint about that. The reason I can not come back soon: No mask on the club house lady, otherwise a nice lady, and two older gentlemen also inside the pro sho shop with no mask. Being in the high risk group for COVID I must follow the advice of doctors and stay out of this place.

Too bad. I had a good round and an otherwise enjoyable day.

Off Road

Horrible Tee boxes, fairways are so-so. Terrain around the greens is ridiculous. Would be easier to play in a cow pasture. Spend a few more $$ and play on the west side of 17&92!!!!

For a high handicapper this course isn’t bad for the fee - really interesting layout, but course conditions are suspect.

Another enjoyable afternoon out doors

The course was quite busy but the faster players went ahead and we passed the slower ones. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and was very friendly. The course was pretty dry and except for the wind it was a great round. I'll have to play this course again - soon.

The course is mostly in pretty good shape. There are still a few places that haven't dried out and there are a couple places where they are working on the course. The weather was a factor again - cool and windy. A wind breaker jacket was the item of the day to wear. I had a good time and enjoyed myself. Got some fresh air and a little exercise. All in all it has been a good day.

Play Glen Abbey for a comfortable and relaxing round of golf

Glen Abbey allowed me to have a vert relaxing afternoon. The course is being worked on in a few different areas and there is a minor problem with a few low areas that had not totally dried out yet. I enjoyed playing this course and will undoubtedly play here again - many times.

Don’t go

This course was in terrible condition and the customer service wasn’t much better. The course is very old and hasn’t been updated in years. I don’t recommend.
