Great course, always a challenge

The layout at Glen Abbey is great, especially the back 9. The fairways are in good shape, but you will have a variety of conditions when you miss the fairway. The front 9 is quite easy compared with the back, and many a round has been deraiked by hole 9 10 and 11, however it is a great challenge.

The greens can be super fast and hard to read, i personally love them. Lastly, the staff in the pro shop are extremely friendly, and helpful, I wish other courses would take note of this sometimes.

My friends and I play here regularly, and with very reasonable pricing is one of our favorites to play.

Saturday Speed Round

Teed off at 7:30, done and in the car at 10 am-- played alone, worst hole when the single in front of me said "please, play through . . ." All downhill from there. Not the course's fault- mine. Had a good time anyway (always do). Early in the season, expect I'll play better as the year wears on. Was gratified to come home and watch Tiger . . . at least somebody's getting better . . .

Good course for the money

My buddy and I are average golfers. We both agreed the layout of the course is very good, the cost of drinks and food at the turn were reasonable, the greens are in excellent shape for a public course, and we felt we more than got our money’s worth for the round. We will definitely go back and play again. Give it a shot... I think you will like it.

Nice course

Nice well maintained course

Pace slow

Very poor golf etiquette by those behind us

Probably snowbirds with lack of simple courtesy and very loud

S-L-O-W

Its that time of year when we are besieged by northerners and its a different kind of play. People on a 450 yard par 5 wait until the green is cleared before they tee off. They drive the carts right up to and practically on the green itself. There are no rules as to where to keep the cart off of. There is no such thing as "keep pace with the group in front of you", or "allow faster players to play through". Can't wait for spring!

Plenty of twists and turns at Glen Abbey.

We had a great round. The course could use a little upkeep/maintenance but over all very playable and still challenging.

This course needs some TLC.

Maybe in the spring when the grass grows in the spring the course could be a lot better.

Payed $16 so i could not complain

Happy i just paid $16. My wife's first 18 holes of golf so the course was sufficient for that. However, if i had been with my regular foursome i would have been totally disappointed no matter the price. Fairways and rough were very poorlly maintained and scrubby looking. Not one ah ha moment on the course. Greens were just ok. Puttable but not pretty if you know what that means. I would recommend this course if green fees are your only concern.

Solid 3 stars

Greens and fairways were ok. The bunkers were better than the last time I played here. They are making some improvements, but still have a ways to go to get in back into our regular rotation. The course layout is very good. It is not a bad value for what they are charging. I give it a good solid 3 stars. Will play here a few times a year to keep checking progress. Would love to see it get back to the condition it was 10 years ago.
