Glen Abbey Golf Club
About
The 18-hole Glen Abbey Golf Club in Debary, FL is a semi-private golf course that opened in 1974. Designed by Dominic Palombo, Glen Abbey Golf Club measures 6661 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 137 and a 72.9 USGA rating. The course features 3 sets of tees for different skill levels. The greens are bermuda grass and the fairways are winter rye.
The Glen Abbey course winds through gently rolling landscapes of sylvan splendor and a 60-acre body of water known as “No-Name” Lake. There are no parallel fairways and all fairways are tree-lined. Water comes into play on eight holes. There are 80 strategically placed bunkers. Crepe myrtle, elderberry and oleander plantings are an aesthetic addition to existing magnolia, oak and towering pines which frame most fairways.

Variety
A good variety of holes,there some short and easy holes and some holes that require good shot making.
Enjoyed the course,we played one day after a rain so the greens were a little slow,but most times they are quick but true to read. Enjoy the course and play at least once, sometimes twice a week there.
Great value course
I have played this course several times and enjoyed it each time.
They are a great value for the money, the course is in good condition and the greens roll well. We had a lot of rain and the course drained very well.
With all the highly priced courses in the area, it is wonderful to have a nice course at a reasonable price. The front 9 is easier, the back 9 holes are more challenging also some very pretty holes.
I have given 5 stars as it is one of the best courses for the price in Seminole County.
Good value
This course is a great value for anyone looking to play a decent course for a great price. It's not the best maintained course you will find, but it's mostly in good shape. Most of the greens could use some work. There are weeds on most greens that make it hard to put with precision. Overall, a good course if you just want to get out and play.
Well worth it. Greens very good. Fairways excellent they have some fluff to them. It was a pleasure hitting off them. Rough was fair
Well worth playing great value for the money. Play lift clean and place to avoid some bad spots in the rough
Love the Course
I played the course on Monday, had a great time, the staff is excellent especially the Cart Guy, very professional. Will play the course again.
Nice course
Read other reviews and must agree with the cart paths need to be repaired and it is bumpy. Other than that, the course is in beautiful condition. The layout is nice and the greens foll fast. Sometimes the pin placements are in tough spots with alot of break. If you don't drive the ball over 230 yds., you should play the senior tees. The staff is great. Some times the play is slow because alot of seniors play there. It is well worth the money and cheaper than alot of other courses. Off course amenities could be better. If you are a senior, you will enjoy the course.
Odd but true
Played the course for the first time a week ago. Course was awesome and pace of play was good. After my round I noticed a flyer on their board indicating they was having a 4 man night golf scramble. I notified a couple buddies and decided to enter. Well one team member ended up having a last minute emergency and couldn't play. So the three of us decided to play even though we was a guy down. Can you imagine we won, but here's the kicker. We was the last group to finish and prior to us turning our card in they had already awarded the prize to another team. Kinda bummed but for what it's worth the course and staff are 2 thumbs up.
Great day w Friends!
Good fun course with friends for the money.
very good layout fairways too bumpy...
I enjoyed the layout. My only issues with the course is the fairways are to bumpy people with back problems i dont suggest you play here. Also the cart paths are breaking down and they have alot of dirt paths. If they could fix these 2 issues the course would be as good as surrounding course..Like De Bary CC 1 mile from this course if i am going to travel 50 miles to Debary i will play the golf club and c.c. of Debary.
Rough Ride
Some cart paths are in need of repair so be careful. There are some areas that drop off from pavement to dirt/sand drastically. There were areas of the fairway and greens that are over watered and mushy.
Nice course for he money
fairways are pretty good, the greens are very fast, took some getting used to. however the rest of the rough is lumpy and bumpy. had to drive slow so I wouldn't injure my back. All in all though a good time and bargain.
Fun, but different
Course was fun to play, though the back nine was totally different than the front nine. The back. I need has a totally different design and is a lot tougher. The greens were nice, but the rough needed some improvement. I'll definitely be back, because it was still a fun round
Nice course in good shape and easy to play
I'm not great golfer who needs resort style courses to challenge me... I just like to play golf. This course was a nice, easy and open course to play. I really enjoyed my round.
GN gave me a good price. I like playing different courses in the area. This is a nice fairly easy course to play. it is in pretty nice shape overall.
The tee boxes were in good shape, the fairways were well manicured with a few rough spots or hazards around, and the greens were really nice and very fast and not too challenging. The rough was cut to a length where you could find the ball easily.
This is not a very challenging course, but if you want to just go out for a nice easy relaxing round of golf, this is the place.
I liked it because it was not crowded, I could take my time and just enjoy the game and nature and relax and not get frustrated or upset with some poorly placed shots that were easy to advance.
Lots of birds and nice scenery. I will play this course again. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed my round here.
Best it has been in years
I haven't played this course in over 5 years mainly because it had been in such bad shape.
I read a few recent positive reviews and decided to give it a try. What a nice surprise. Fairways are good especially for summer time in Florida. Greens were some of best I've played anywhere recently. Smooth, fast with lots of undulation.
Only cons are not much rough just loose sand and spotty grass and the cart paths are pretty broken down.
Very happy with this course though. I will definitely be back.
Hidden Gem
This is the first time I have ever bothered to write a review, but I liked this course so much I felt I had to...now, first, the cons:
1. Cart paths are old and cracked and the drop offs can be ugly (but if there is one spot I don't care about excellence it would be there)
....ummm, that's about it.
This course is so well blended into the neighborhood you wouldn't even know it was there, yet you never feel like you are playing in someone's yard....phenomenal greens, some of the best in the area...solid fairways and forgiving tough...the layout is where it really shines to me...at least 2 yard Doyle's in each direction...water is in play (my nemesis) but not enough to be a constant dark shadow....I played by myself and only saw one other person out on the course all day....I am actually thinking about signing up for their tournament league, which plays every Thursday morning.
long time not played
greens good shape, fairways a bit rough but no worse than some, cart paths like going off road in great need of repair watch what you're your doing or bang!
Heartily Recommend this GEM
I was looking for a quick tee time and found this hidden gem - great price. I arrived 15 minutes before my tee time and was greeted by a friendly staff. I was able to get right out no waiting for 7am - the course was in fantastic condition. Fairways are perfect, rough in good shape as well, The greens were beautiful and had enough undulations to make for a good judge of the the putting surface - I hit 10 fairways and when I was not on the fairway the rough was a test but fair. 32 putts on the round - green speeds fairly quick but firm and fair - I definitely will play here again and again - give this one a try the owner has really put money into it and is well worth the drive and the cost
Fun course, great greens
Love this course! While the staff is a bit skeptical of players who book on Golf Now, don't let that deter you. It's a challenging well-maintained course. The greens are supper fast. Many holes play near water. Love it!
