First round at Glen Abbey

Front 9 was nice and open with a number of challenging bunkers. All 18 greens were is fantastic condition and were challenging. The back 9 through the valley was a thing of beauty I really enjoyed even if I did donate a few balls to the course.

Great day

First time playing the Glenn Abbey and wasn’t disappointed. Amazing property. First class staff and amenitiites. Fairways were amazing. Greens were in fairly great shape. Little bit of brown and stuff here and there but expected with a course that gets as much traffic as this one does.

Overall 9/10. Amazing. Day.

Great Memories

The course is the closest thing to tour conditions I have ever played. The greens were cut low but they were firm, the fairways tight, the rough was a little bit too forgiving but still not easy by any means. My only criticism is that there were many divots in some fairways that are not repaired and some greens had a lot of marks that have also not been addressed or repaired but to be fair we did play later in the day so could have been damage throughout the day. Overall I would rate it an 8/10.

PS. I did take the right of passage and try the tiger bunker shot.... I did not make it

An old favourite

Great to be back at the Abbey for the first time in more than 10 years. Conditions were outstanding and pace of play, which gets criticized here frequently, was not an issue, as we played in 4:10 with a 1024 tee time. Could have used some rakes as I see they are now out at some clubs. Be careful on 11 as the new green to the right did not measure properly on my Garmin GPS. Its about 20 yards closer than the old green so get yardage from someone in your group with a range finder. Enjoy!

A fair golf course off the tee, but the green side bunkers and challenging greens require precise approach shots. Great design.

Challenging Canadian golf

Apart from poor signage we found the amenities to be good, but the course is worth playing unless you don't like a challenge!
