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.

Perfect weather
Used cart

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.

Nice AM @ Glen Abbey

Had a 7:28 tee time @ Glen Abbey ....

We arrived right on the dot as GPS from GolfNow misguided us. Pro shop personnel was understanding and pleasant. Brand new carts-nice!... We thouroghly enjoyed our time. Glen Abbey has a lot of doglegs and we had some trouble with lines off the tee etc. Af few greens were struggling but overall decent shape considering it’s off season. Bunkers were nice and we sped around in under 4hrs as a threesome . We will be back next time we vacation here . Thanks for a great day !

Great easy

This place is a great place and easy to get to by far the best bang for the buck ! Greens and fairways are coming back from being dormant another couple weeks back to normal . Bunkers are soft which is what they are suppose to be . The amenities are priced perfect .Go back here quite often after playing other more overpriced local courses .guess our group isn't upity enough. Lol

Good Value

Glen Abbey is a very nice course that is a great value for the money. The course is not as plush as some courses, but it has plenty of grass and you can find decent lies anywhere. The greens are fast and put true. I would recommend this course to anyone and especially for those who are looking for more for their buck.

Fair to Bad

Played here a month ago and decided to give it another chance. There was improvement around the greens with grass filling in the bare spots. The greens were brown and some sort of weeds popping all over. If you hit one on your putt you didn't know where the ball would be going. The t boxes were ok. A course for beginners and families. For the $29 i payed it wasn't worth it. They spent more money doubling the size of the bar than taking care of the course. I feel bad for all of the staff because they are extremely nice. I would have rather paid an extra $10 and played another course. You can get a golf now deal and play it for $16 which is what it's worth. Alot of potential out there.
