The Abbey saved

Happy to know that Glen Abbey wont be homes anytime soon. Pricing for this course is crazy. Anywhere from $110 to $240 depending in there dynamic pricing. Most courses have decided to put it to the customer because of demand and travel restrictions. Still a treat to play a tournament course. Lots of room for error.

A fantastic view

First time playing and was a birthday present to my father. To say that you’ve touched history is great but it’s a bit expensive for the novelty. Still glad I did it!

Professional

Course is unreal. Every shot you take makes you feel like your at the Canadian open Sunday final group. Best course I’ve played in my short 10 year career

Clumpy chunks of grass

The grass was horribly maintained on the first 9 holes. Literally clumpy chunks of grass in the rough. The maintenance of the grass was a topic of conversation with my foursome and not in a way. I took our clients to Glen Abbey,, with the expectations that I get what I paid for. I definitely did not appreciate the presentation of your course today.
