Good condition.

Course was in good condition. Pace of play was fantastic. 4 hours on the dot in a foursome of random singles that got paired up together.

Predictable Quailty

I rarely have a negative round at the Glen Abbey. Some tee boxes were not up to Abbey quality, the greens were a little slower than normal yet still a great outing.

It has been a dry summer and you notice a few hard patches of earth, but this is everywhere this summer.

Fairways in excellent condition, greens in excellent condition, if a little slow (was a hot day and late in the afternoon).

Driving range facilities very good, and staff friendly, if not a little bit less outwardly friendly to the GolfNow crowd as opposed to the regular members, nothing major though.

course and facilities need urgent update, disappointing to see how a former fine course looks today.

Not worth the money

Played in early August 2022. Surprised at how poor some of the course conditioning was for an allegedly top tier course - crab grass infested tee boxes littered with divots, unkempt bunker margins and some bunkers with not much more than a veneer of sand. $260 green fee is vastly overpriced. Drive up to Osprey Valley instead - Golf Canada did!

First time there

Went for the first time with my son. Challenging but not overly difficult. Obviously approach shots need to be accurate or you will find yourself in one of many bunkers. Greens were frustrating with what felt like Sunday pins. Played with another twosome and were the only ones on the course. No one behind or in front but the Marshall pressured us to pick our pace up which really took some of the enjoyable moments out of the day. Great day with my son overall.

Good conditions. Amazing practice area.

Course is in good condition unlike about 10 years ago.

Nice to see they have put it back into prime condition.

Amazing practice area built for the PGA tour players.

Staff was very nice.

Very much enjoyed my day.

Beautiful scenery

Not only was the course spectacularly beautiful, we had the place to ourselves. This was particularly important to me as I was taking a couple of my best clients.
