Glen Abbey Golf Club

We are a bunch of beginners and felt very welcome with no pressure

( Helps that we made sure we were last teeming off as we took 20 min per hole )

A little slow but it was Father’s Day, so that was to be expected.

Some of the tee decks were in poor shape, but other than that it was great. Nice bunkers, quick, tough greens. Beautiful layout.

Staff didn't seem interested in being there. No GPS in the golf cart which should be standard when paying $250 per round.

We were originally supposed to tee off on back nine then changed to front nine. The group ahead was 2 holes ahead. After 8th hole, the marshall told us to catch up to group ahead - despite being 2h and 7 min on front nine - paired up with two golfers who were not playing well - especially with many bunkers. Felt rushed for the entire round despite booking a 3:30 on a Monday. We did catch up to group ahead of us. Total round time was 4:13 mins. This took away ability to fully enjoy course - especially back nine surroundings.

Very disappointed, no longer the Glenn Abbey I once knew...in short someone knowledgeable needs to spend the day there , seems the service offered and level is that of a farmers course

I would say Glenn Abbey management wake up

Glenn Abbey is an amazing course that everyone should try to play a few times but do it when conditions are soft because they don’t tend to water the fairways and the greens get very hard. Balls don’t tend to stick on the greens. This is true of the greens when the pros play it too so it’s just the way it plays but the fairways could be better maintained. Same for the bunkers. The bunkers can be without enough sand and your club can bounce off the hard dirt underneath skulling the ball no matter how hard you hit down and it just depends on which bunker you’re in. It happened to a pro leading the Open a few years ago and he lost because of it.

Driving range could be better. They don’t move the area enough and sometimes there can be almost no grass to hit off.

Lol. Other than that I do really like playing the course because the design is amazing and it’s a beautiful picturesque amazing place to play.

PS: Better know how to play out of bunkers. There’s millions of them.

The course was fantastic as expected and so was the staff, all so helpful and cordial at all ends!

I e played this course several times over the last 5 or 6 years and I have to say that the facilities are looking “tired”

I’ve volunteered at the open here many times so I’ve seen the course at it’s finest, but I’ve played here enough to know when it is being neglected.

Fairways and greens were poorly manicured for a course of this stature.

The few staff that they seemed to have there were somewhat friendly but seemed kind of “indifferent” towards my wife and I.

We came here to celebrate our Anniversary, it certainly have no intentions of playing there again.

There’s a lot of much nicer courses in the GTA, for a lot less money!

The first hole par 5 the flag was 50 yards in front of the green? No communication from the starter, none from the pro shop and none at time of booking.

The greens were terrible. They were not terrible due to too dressing or air rating the greens they were simply not cut, ants everywhere, no ball mark repairs, so slow. I had clients with me and it was extremely embarrassing.

No beverage cart on the course

I love this course; however as of late the conditions are not ideal. The greens were not cut or rolled, still have a temporary green, the pace of play was very slow, there were no marshalls keeping the pace moving, one group had a five someone in front of us, etc etc. A beautiful course that clearly needs some attention and work to make it where it should be.
