This course is iconic.

I played where the pros have played.

The course is beautiful and well kept.

I hope the course is not developed into housing.

Excellent Golf outing in these times

Course was in excellent condition with the greens running fast and true. Nice to play fairways that had some run out

on them. My best round of the year which was certainly helped by a hole in one on #7

Fantastic

The course was amazing and the weather co-operated. a beautiful day out for Fathers day. I really liked the lifter they had built on the flag stick to get your ball. The ball actually falls in the hole so there is no doubt when it's in. The staff was friendly and just getting going in the new Covid environment and the other stuff was limited due to that also. The abbey is always a challenge but a beautiful track to be on.

Course was a shadow of former self

Can't help but feel that they've waved the white flag to development. Conditions were drab. Not well manicured. Had us feel off the 10rh hole first. what a shame as it's the better nine. Up top is boring and lacks character.

Glen Abbey

Decent twilight fee. Covid protocol adhered to with no difficulties with staff checkin. Course was in fairly good shape with moderately slow greens. I would definitely recommend this course especially at twilight for the $79 fee.

Based on price and expectations it is such a poor course

I’ve played the Abbey a few times now and today will be my last. For a championship course it’s just so very, very poor. We tee’d off on 10. The washroom was an grotesque dump in a building that needs to be torn down. So embarrassing. The course itself was ok. But so many unkept, dry and tired looking spots all over the course. Tee boxes chewed up. Weeds in a lot of places. If I was a Clublink member and this was my main course I’d be furious. I normally play Piper’s Heath and by comparison it is just beautiful. From tee box to greens so much better and way, way better value for money. Glen Abbey is a place you go to play to say you did and never go back. There are lots of better places to play. I’m from Oakville, I want the Abbey to remain a golf course. We don’t need more homes but it is clear to everyone ClubLink are dying to sell it and have stopped all investment. It’s a real shame.
