A treat to play

Heard a lot about the course from TV. As being a past PGA tour stop and with the pricey fees [though I saved a bundle using Golf Now] I expected trimmed pathways, cart service, etc. Certainly the course lacked compared to the many othes in the area. You can feel ClubLink's future development plans due to the lack of attention to details. That said, though, and removing my preconceived expectations, the course itself was in terrific shape. Watered and lush fairways [dry at most other courses due to lack of rain], beautifully rolled and true greens, plus awesome vistas. And of course, it's all about the company you keep that makes the day - so the "experience" was awesome!. :-)

Glen Abbey

This course is still a pleasure to play when it is in prime condition, as it was on this day. It is criminal to consider bulldozing it for real estate!

Maintenance crew

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.
