Gem of a Course

Great course with some elevation changes and challenging holes. Great pace of play and people that were sensible about allowing faster player through.

Greens consistent and the course in good condition after a heavy frost.

Why in the World would you let 2 groups of 5 tee off before a twosome!

the club allowing 2 fivesomes tee off before us 2 was totally unacceptable. Waiting on every shot over the span of 4 1/2 hours for 2 people to play was horrible. This club obviously has no control.

Glen Abbey is one of my favs

Looking to golf on my day off and booked a round at Glen Abbey - 745 tee time - arrived at 730 and the ever friendly staff greeted me by name and told me I was all set and could head to the tee box. Got to the tee box and a 2some was there, they were friendly and asked what my tee time was and then invited me to play with them (bonus as I hate playing alone) - had a truly awesome round - the 2 gents were gregarious and we had a blast. Since I had played here before, they were quick to ask me about trouble areas and what to avoid - we played in just under 3 1/2 hours. Course was in excellent shape, the greens ran to the fast side this time out even though it was early. The fairways were green and firm. All in all another great round at a great local course

Hidden Gem

This course has a great layout front is a little more open than the back. Greens were in great shape. Tee boxes are in process and all the sand traps have good sand in them. I highly recommend this course.

Hidden Gem in volusia County

Pleasantly surprised on the layout of the course. They staff was very friendly and helpful. You can tell that they are working hard to get the course into shape( older reviews were very suspect of course conditions) tee boxes, fairways and greens have been maintained and seem to be continuing to work in the course. Pricing is very fair and I think it can become a great destination affordable ,golf course.

Good Deal for Price

Very good layout and the greens are in very good condition, but tee boxes are in rough shape and fairways need some TLC...lotsa weeds and bare areas. I played this course years ago when it was in much better shape. But for the price it's not bad. And the folks there were extremely pleasant, friendly and seemed genuinely glad we were there...no qualms recommending this course.,

First and last time

This was the first time I have played this course. I was very disappointed. The course condition was not good. Too many weeds and not enough grass in the fairways. The course could have used some water on most holes. The back side was very wet on some holes. Overall this might be a course for people learning or starting to play only. Was very disappointed to say the least and will never play again. Other courses in area that are in better shape.

nice variety

This course has a variety of features. Some very wide fareways some narrow. Some water, some elevation changes, some easy holes and some very challenging holes. Greens are fast and are generally in good shape. Very friendly club house staff.

Fun course, good value

Greens can be quite fast and challenging, and fairways are also generally in good shape.

The layout is quite varied and fun, good combination of some long holes and short.

We enjoyed our round.

Nothing to complain about!

Have been playing this course for years! It has been up and down for quite some time but overall it looks pretty good! Fairways are playable, greens roll true with a some fairway spots being a bit wet, but you learn to play around them. Course plays short so there are lots of chances for low scores! A good practice course with plenty of fun and trouble to be had, best to leave the driver in the bag on some holes. Its not TPC but it is a fun track with good staff and pace of play! If you have some time to kill, this isn't a bad way to do it!

Decent for the price

First time playing this course. It has had some damage from the hurricane which has been pretty well cleaned up, but lots of rain in the weeks following the hurricane have made this course very soft and muddy in a lot of areas. If you can avoid the soft wet spots, it's a decent challenge for the money. Greens are a little patchy in places but certainly useable. If the weather clears up it should be in good shape in a couple weeks.
