Fall from grace

This course has a great layout. It's fun, challenging, but not too hard. I've been playing here since last winter and it was great. Since then the course conditions have sharply declined. The rough looks like a goat field, and the fairways are full of sand patches. The place needs some serious TLC. I only golf here now when it's really cheap. Many nearby courses have recovered from our rain, draught, rain phases. But Glen Abbey is in need of better maintenance. I would love to see this course come back to its former glory.

Should sell to owner who cares

Fairways are just weeds. Second hole green is mostly pieces of sod layed down not even rolled. Worse condition course that I have been in the area. At lot of rust, no maintenance being done. Going out of business is not to far away..

Under water

While the greens were in the best shape I have seen them in the driving range was an abomination. The edges of the Fairway were more like the rough and the rough was so rough that you needed a weedeater to find your ball. Half of the holes we're under water around the edges and you had to track through mud to get to the Tee Box. For the price it wasn't bad but I would rather pay a little more and play somewhere that takes care of the property better. We went in to get a hot dog at the turn and it was Serve Yourself and the tongs for the hot dogs were sitting in some nasty water. Beer was cold though.

Needs some TLC

Course is really burned up as you might expect for this time of year. If you could keep the golf carts from riding all over the place and leaving ruts in wet spots,

That would help !! Nice layout but needs some work. It was worth the fee

And I played in just over three hours.

Old course

Played for the first time. Staff was very friendly and kind. Played as a single and very fast play. Conditions were rough, but paid $10 for 18 with a cart , so I won’t complain ..just state truth, and layout had it challenges to any skill level. Had a fun day with wife , even played two rounds of pool in bar at turn then completed round. Been in Florida a month and would play again. Not so much for course conditions as for the friendly staff and very quick and not busy course.

Great place to play

The staff was as good as it gets. The course is self was in very good condition. And the layout was somewhat tricky. We live 85 miles away I might go again someday. Mostly because the staff were so nice.

Glen Abbey, aka "The Swallows"

I played this course a long time ago before the houses were built alongside it. With the exception of a couple holes (#15 comes to mind), the greens were in excellent shape. The fairway grass was thin, as is to be expected at winter's end, so the lies were pretty tight.

I had to skip a hole to get around a very slow foursome, so I only got in 17 holes before darkness. Other than that one encounter, the pace of play was very good.

Only allowed 11 holes as shotgun league took over course

Was told to play front nine by 9am to avoid league. Ran around in under 1 hour to ensure back nine play.

However, league started on back and inserted themselves ahead of 18 hole players.

What a joke!

Nice course

Recent rain has 'greened' up the course. Fairways and greens in good shape. A couple challenging holes. Played at 4pm and got in 17 holes with a partner by 6:15. Very reasonable rates. Enjoy golfing here.
