First round for the season at the Abbey

Course is in decent condition aside from some of the bunkers and the first few feet around them.

Overall I’m always left with a feeling a bit underwhelmed when I play Glen Abbey, whilst the back 9 through the valley has some picturesque holes some of the front 9 holes are average. Is it worth a. $100 on golf now ? Yes probably but If it was not so close to home I would likely choose other courses that are priced the same.

Great round

This was the second time I've played here. The first was 2017 right after the Canadian Open weekend and this time was a Spring round. The Course was in great shape for spring conditions and the for the price it was well worth the money. A national treasure.

It was nice - not as amazing as I likely imagined it to be

Thought it would be in nicer condition

Shocked to see big patches of dandelions and yellowing grass

Course was nice but not as challenging as I thought it would be - don’t get me wrong though some greens and some holes presented some challenges

Overall nice but thank god I paid $100 and not $260

If the grass was greener and no obvious weed issue then I’d give it higher rating of course

Darn Arthritis

First, I have to say that the price I payed, I had to play Glen Abby.

I met up with 3 very friendly people and we all had fun. I only gave the course conditions a star because all courses are still a bit rough from all the rain we have had. The greens were slower than normal most likely due to what I mentioned above. Due to my arthritis, I went downhill after hole #11. Bad hip, back, shoulder started to wreak havoc. I thought about just picking up. That, is on me though.

I know the course conditions will improve immensely and very quickly. Remember, we are only 2 weeks into May.
