Reasonable value

Should be notified about the temporary greens when booking. Staff was great. Always fun to walk in the footsteps of some great PGA players.

Two temporary fairway greens and hole 15 closed, I guess the price reflects that but should be mentioned when booking….

Early season conditions

The greens that were open were in good shape (two temporary greens) the bunkers were a huge disappointment, it looked as though they were not touched since last year

Over-priced. Especially for the current condition

I have played here many times and usually the course is in fantastic condition. I know it’s still early in the season, but the course is undergoing some maintenance right now, and that information wasn’t provided before booking. Currently there are 2 temporary greens and one practice hole (instead of hole #15). Bunkers are hard and full of leaves and there aren’t any rakes. Glen Abbey is overpriced at the best of times. But given it’s current state I would recommend anyone paying more than $100 to play it.

The season is still early, but the bunkers have had no appeciable maintenance since the start of covid. While rakes are still not out it is no excuse for leaves to be piled in the bunkers or to have small trees growing. Unbecoming of a course as prestigious as Glen Abbey.

First round of the season

Glen Abbey had opened on the 11th, and I was there on the 12th. Was disappointed that the range was closed despite the fact it was advertised as included on the rate charged by GOLFNOW. . Conditions were pretty dry, and carts were permitted at 90degrees. Greens were scored and holes were still evident from the fall punch. A makeshift par 3 replaced the closed 12th hole. Two other greens were temps. Its still a great layout...will be more enjoyable once we get some warm weather growth.

Underwhelming

Understand that it is early season. Offer said range included - nope, it’s closed - it was dry but closed. Overall conditioning of the course was very poor - greens were plugged (price was discounted but no up front comment about plugging) - two temporary greens - one hole completely replaced with a practice hole. Pace of place was great. Underwhelming.

Over priced right now for the conditions.

I love Glen Abbey but right now they are way over priced for the course conditions. There were temp greens on 1 & 4. Hole 15 wasn’t even open so we had to play a par 3 that’s been added for that reason I guess. Greens were aerated and not too dressed so short putts were tough to make. Bunkers were either full of water or hard packed and no rakes. But I said I love this track and I know what it plays like in the summer so I’m not going to complain too much.

Oh that valley!

Absolutely amazing. NOVEMBER 7TH course is still in great shape and couldnt be more beautiful than it is at this time of year.

The group in front of us was super slow so we didn't get the whole round in. Oh well. That's fall golf for ya.
