Glen Abbey Golf Club

We found good deal on the course website and it was a good value.

Enjoyed the round and a beautiful day to be out.

I am not a Club Link member, but I try to play the Abbey at least 1-2 times per year. I love the course !!! But…pace of play always seems to be an issue, never saw a marshal once. Simply put, the group ahead of us was playing from the gold tees and they had no business doing so, this slowed things down immensely.

Having said that, I do expect slow play at the Abbey. What I didn’t expect was “disrespectful “ maintenance staff. On the 9th hole, our group was preparing to take our approach shot, when we noticed the maintenance guy watering the green. He then waved at us to hit our shots…with him standing just off the green and the hose draped across the back of the entire green…Really???

On some other holes, the “crew” driving their carts, didn’t even stop to wait for us to hit, and continued driving as we teed off. Unacceptable for a course like Glen Abbey.

Thankfully, the course is so nice and the rest of the staff was professional and courteous.

Course was brown in many areas

Tons of ball marks on the par 3’s

Minimal sand in the bunkers

Cart paths are getting bumpy

Glen Abbey has always had challenges in course conditioning except for the one week a year they have intermittently hosted the Canadian Open but it’s quite clear that Clublink has stopped putting any funding into course or infrastructure improvements. While greens were good on July 10, the rest of the course was baked out and quite rough in many spots. And the cart paths and other infrastructure of the course are decidedly poor. Even though I got a “good” deal on GolfNow for this round, I’m pretty sure I won’t pay to play at GA again. And I’ve got a sneaky suspicion this is what Clublink wants to see happen so they can justify their push to have the golf course land converted to residential and commercial uses.

Glen Abbey is a one of a kind challenge. There are so many excellent holes. Played off the blue tees, and even in a best ball format we felt pushed by two-somes. That would be my only concern.

I've played Abbey about 50 times over the past 35 years and this time was extremely disappointing at the conditions of the course. It looked like it hadn't been watered all year. I was planning on booking multiple times this year but now I'll be looking elsewhere.

Was only worth it because I paid 100$ and practiced for 1.5 hour on their great range. Do not pay full price for this place. Not worth it.

I don’t find this course to be nearly as good as some of the other Clublink properties like Greystone or Glencairn. I also think it’s overpriced. Some of the greens were in poor condition and they don’t have any beverage carts only the halfway house to get drinks. Overall it really isn’t worth the money.

Having played Glen Abbey a number of times and attended the RBC Canadian Open on this sit e I always had high praise for it. Until now, course conditions have rapidly deteriorated with an obvious budget cut. Bunkers are not raked properly And the green surrounds are mediocre at best. A surprise to me but maybe a sign of the times

A restoration or renovation is required and soon!

it s a nice course pretty wide open i guess i was expecting more wow but its not there i would play it again if the price was right

The course could be even better if the lazy ones to a second to fix their ball marks on the greens ( and do it properly)
