Not work the money - very disappointing

Having played Glen Abby many times ( first time in 2021) this was very disappointing for several reasons;

- Staff seemed very junior and disinterested and poorly managed.

- When we arrived to the parking lot there were four young attendees all sitting, eating, telling stories and swearing. They were not interested in servicing us at all.

- no drink cart on the course

- course was full of litter at every tee box

- no marshal and very slow pace of play

- Restaurant menu for diner was minimal and very disappointing

- During round of play in hole #18 my shot flew to the left of the green. I yelled four and it hit a golf cart which turned out to be 2 golf carts with 4 Glen Abbby young employees. They approached my girlfriend and I to give us a lecture and to advise to be more careful in the future or we could be sued. The most unprofessional discussion ever.

Not sure if the change is due to the sale of Glen Abby but the course was in great shape the experience was not worth the money spent and overall disappointing. Will not be back again unless there is improvements.

Play it once per year

Love this course for its wide open fairways, classic holes and ease of play for most handicaps. It is a Canadian icon and and worth playing while we can.

The GREAT Glen Abbey

One of the most spectacular courses I've played. Challenging, but not gimmicky. Difficult, but not impossible. You can score well, if you can master the quick greens. A truly picturesque, immaculately kept course. It was my first time out and it will definitely not be my last.
