Disappointed

We’ve been here before but after this round won’t return. For $200 I can go to Wooden Sticks and get meals included. Glen Abbey didn’t even have a drink/ snack cart go around during the day. Played numerous courses a lot cheaper and they had drink cart. Staff in pro shop not that friendly, won’t be returning.

Absolutely awesome

This course has been on my wish list for 25 years and all I can say is wow, it is one of the best courses I have played anywhere.

The fairways and greens were in excellent condition.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

We will definitely play here again.

Play somewhere else

5 hour round. If you want to play a round of engaging uninterrupted golf play anywhere else. Very long delays and no Marshalls to monitor pace of play Will never play there again. $150 for a round on freshly aerated greens (not disclosed upon booking). Can’t use Covid as excuse. Many other golf courses managing pace of play far better

Punched Greens

The course was great however the greens had been recently punched and I would have not booked the course and paid the price I paid had I known the greens would be in those conditions. It was disappointing considering the cost.

Aeration

Nothing is more disappointing than showing up for an early tee time as aeration begins on a historic and expensive course.. thats what i saw driving in. the price doesn't reflect this.... at almost 200 per person.(and I am a clublink member not being able to get a tee time).... having the option I would not book here knowing those details prior...or if they are offering a discount i would consider it. between tee times and drinks we dropped $1000.00. I expect top notch for that price. please if possible notify people prior to booking.

The Abbey still has it

Great shape. Great check in. Only complaint was the cancellation policy. Nowhere else that we play only issues rainchecks within 72 hours of booking. You need to be more flexible when there are thunderstorms in the forecast.
