Enjoyable course, mediocre conditions

I had a fun playing here this past weekend. Like many courses in the area, the conditions are worse for wear and many holes are in need of attention. Most tee boxes and greens are in pretty poor condition, but still playable. The fairways are solid on the majority of holes with no major issues. The layout is very interesting and not boring, just need the conditions to improve to match. I look forward to seeing how this course shapes up in the coming months.

Terrible course, not worth, will not be back

I understand a hurricane hit two weeks and the course only had the front 9 open but this rating is because the course was in terrible condition and should be considered unplayable. On top of having the sprinklers running 24/7 on not only the green but the tee box. Couldn’t even play where we needed to. And having them randomly going off and getting completely wet 2-3 times while we tried to play at least 9 holes. Left after that and paid for 18. Wasn’t even worth it to stay

Very poor

While I understand this course has changed ownership a number of times in the last 20+ years, it seems like this course is stuck in a rut. I didn’t expect it to be in great shape but didn’t expect it to be so poor. Hole 2, a par 5, used to drive over a swampy pond and now, because it’s overgrown and under kept, they’ve moved the tees to what would be the first landing area. Most tee boxes are weed ridden with deep ruts to stand in. It’s like they’re not even trying. I want it to be good again, I really do. Crazy prices for the dismal shape of the course. Shouldn’t be more than $15 for 18 in this shape. Bummed because it’s 5 minutes from my house and because I remember when it was lush and beautiful 30 years ago.

Cow pasture

I would rather dog a couple of holes in a cow pasture and play. The course was in horrible shape.

I can’t believe they even charge as bad as it is. It has a great layout just needs an owner willing to take care of it

The staff and course layout are great!

The staff are great! The lady in the Pro Shop is by far the best asset in the course!!

The course layout is challenging and fun to play.

The condition of the tee boxes is by far the worst that I have been playing. Some areas of the fairways are decent, but maybe just the 15-20% of the fairway.

The greens are in bad condition, and the roads for the cart is like driving in a safari!

With some money in the maintenance this course would be great.

Great Course

Always enjoy playing at Glen Abbey.

Course is moderately difficult but fun to play.

Hole 17 & 18 are tough when you are playing after 5, the sun is directly in your eyes and 18 is right beside the driving range. Other than that good course and great prices.

Glen Abbey - 7.24.24

I played my first ever solo round here and it was a blast. (Achieved my first ever par)

The greens were not too bad, some sandy spots around the edge but nothing atrocious.

Fairways were pretty dry but it certainly helped my drives.

The worst part were the tee box’s - concrete sand shelves. It was really hard to keep your footing while trying to bomb drives.

The staff was super friendly and I picked up another single to play with on a few holes, that is until I left my wedge 3 holes behind….

Overall a great course for beginners because the price is justifiable.

Looking Greener

Glen Shabby is greening up… the greens are puttable and you’re never too far from a nice lie in the fairway. Tee boxe are a bit scruffy and bunkers are weed free and raked. Golf cart are looking upgraded since the last time I tried Glen Abby. The 4 star review is based on past conditions not a comparison to other tracks that get 4 stars. Played in 2.5 hours and didn’t pay very much thanks to golf now… hot deal + discount. Will definitely go back.
