We had a great time anyway!

I was a little disappointed at the condition of some of the tee blocks and fairways. They were very damaged and not what I was expecting for a course of this caliber.

We decided to play this course because of the history which did not disappoint. The wall of Champions was a great addition to the course.

We had a great time anyway, regardless of the conditions.

I hope to return one day.

If you are going to charge top dollar, you have to control the pace of play. You cannot simply say “we don’t have course Marshalls during covid”.

Almost ... Everything was perfect

Post Labour Day play ... Maybe that explains why there wasn't a refreshment cart out nor was the patio open for beverages and food afterwards.

The conditions and course were otherwise amazing.

long day at the Abbey

Staff and check in was great.

Tee boxes were bare and tattered on many holes.

Greens and fairways were nice. Greens rolled true.

2-3 groups on every tee box most holes. (3rd hole, a group ahead dead cart was replaced but still did not help.) 4 open holes ahead of them for the next 14 holes. we were a 4some.

Overall it was an acceptable course but extremely overpriced for condition and pace of play.
