As expected for the abbey

Tight well manicured fairways Riddled with bunkers. Strategically placed trees made approach shots difficult. Checked my approach shot onto the green and back into the water on 18 making me feel one with the legends who have done this before me.

Nice layout, but overpriced for what you get

First time playing Glen Abbey and was very excited for the experience. Very disappointed in what was offered. Despite the area being in Phase 3 of the COVID reopening, we were told we could not enter the property until 10 minutes before tee time. That is simply not enough time to warmup properly on the range,, buy some drinks and hit a few practice putts. For the cost, you’d expect gps in the carts, but not provided. Pro shop had hardly any merchandise and no women’s shirts whatsoever which was disappointing. Overall seemed to be paying for the history rather than what it is now. Layout is nice, just overpriced for the quality.

It’s the Abbey. It’s a good track

I like the layout of the course and always have. We’ve had a dry, hot summer but Club Link is a joke - they don’t take care of their courses. The course is yellow and any grass off the green or fairway is hard pan. Water the course, man. Greens are full of ball marks - that’s from the ignoramuses who don’t repair their ball marks. Staff is very friendly and helpful. No complaints there. But the course needs to be in better shape for the prices they charge. It’s not good value for the money.

Great course

Let’s face it Glen Abbey is an awesome Goff course and the layout is fantastic. Unfortunately we are playing in a COVID world right now so the overall experience was not what it would and should be normally. I was a little dissatisfied with the fact that we only had about 20 minutes before the round to hit some balls and really that’s not enough time. I didn’t like the fact that we were told to start on the 10 tee and there was no staff no starter and then when we came back around to the first tee there was a little confusion and again no stall and no starter to guide us.

Incredibly Overpriced - Poor Conditions

$250 per person is far too much. Amenities are limited, course is in terrible condition (mostly brown), no beverage carts (or water stations), and they aren't raking the bunkers.

Every other course around has figured out how to operate under COVID conditions, Clublink has seriously dropped the ball. I won't be returning.

Greens were nice and soft, fairways were really hard and the ruff has not been watered, so it was like hitting a cart path the ball bounced so high. Lost 4 balls off the ruff into the woods ? not nice. to hard, was not fair.

Well worth the price

Decided to play here with the rumours it could be shut down, figured I needed to play it once in my life and was not disappointed. The staffs friendliness was absolutely incredible, everything was so well put together and organized, multiple people set up to help you from the moment you arrive to the moment your round is over. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this to anyone wondering about whether or not to spend the money.

Great to be back

I once set up the Canadian Open for about a decade. What a thrill to play it once again. COVID of course left most of the traps unraked and amenities were hard to find but the staff was beyond courteous and friendly. I'll be back.

Bucket List

I always wanted the opportunity to play Glen Abby and it definitely did not disappoint! A PGA stop that was as difficult as it was beautiful!!!

I gave me a whole new appreciation of how good the players on tour really are!!

I would not have been able to play the course without using Golf Now, I have been really happy with the website and the app.
