Late may

The good: pace of play, fast greens, conditions considering there was a storm the 2 days before.

The bad. Temp greens, 1 make shift hile, tee boxes were brought forward max length 6600, and a few tee boxes were beat up badly.

At 119 for the round I can't really complain. At a summer rate of 250 I would be mad

Should not have to pay full price when temporary greens and substitute holes are in play.

Greens were not in very good condition and there was debris on most of the fairways.

Club link needs to pick up their game at the Abbey

Temporary greens on 1 and 4. 15 closed.

No GPS???? One of Canadas top courses and no GPS.they haven’t had it in four years because their supplier went under - then get a new one. Now that Clublink has lost their battle to develop it, it’s time to put some money back in it

Course not quite ready

Great course. However, temporary greens and one temporary hole made it a bit less enjoyable than normal. It is a great course.

Great summer weather, not all greens were in the best shape but overall this course is a gem. Nothing not to love about it. Can't wait to play it again.

Temporary greens on a championship course? Surely not.

No indication that temporary greens were being used. No communication from Golf Now nor the club when checking in.

The foursome felt cheated by the obvious hiding of this fact until it was too late.

Glen Abby is a gem

The only reason it does not get 5 stars is because there were 2 temporary greens in the fairway and one hole was closed.

Experience

Didn’t know holes were closed and 2 holes were pins in the fairway. It is a great course but wasn’t worth what I paid when you didn’t get to experience a lot of the course. Should of been told before booking

Left Disappointed

It was the first time I had played there in 15 plus years and I was really looking forward to the round. and I ended up leaving there disappointed.

To play a course that hosts PGA events is always something any golfer would look forward to as I did. What I did not expect was to get there and see temporary greens/flags set up on the fairways for two of the holes. On top of that we also did not get to play the Par 3 15th hole as they said it hasn't come back to form as of yet and had set up another temporary par 3 for golfers to play.

I understand reasons why greens are closed but it is hard to buy into when you walk buy and see them in mint condition.

I played a public course north of the city the day before which was in much better condition.

Just thought I would share my experience.

Carries the Glen Abbey name but not the same old coarse it once was...

I understand it's early in the season, not questioning that part the coarse was actually in decent shape considering a beat up as the greens looked they putted at a decent pace, coarse was relatively dry and playable, nice to see quality sandin the bunkers and rakes back on the coarse my only complaint was as for what price I paid It would of been nice to know that a few greens weren't in play regardless of there attempts to replace them with temporary greens, its always great to play here but definitely disappointed about the current price for the conditions...

Safe choice

I've played this course alot, I think if you like it you really like it. The layout suits my game, right hand draw.

Greens are super fast and smooth so the ball rolls true, even though the Greens don't look as nice as they play.

Biggest complaint was the super slow group in front that created 3 empty holes in front of them. Second biggest complaint was some of the tee boxes were in rough shape.
