Glen Abbey Golf Club

Played just three days after DJ won Canadian Open here. A great course, very fair to play (played from blue tees), with interesting green complexes to challenge you. Rough around the greens was very long and lush, perhaps still not cut back from tournament. Course was a little busy and loud with deconstruction of spectator stands and such, but this had no impact on play. It was a treat to play a course that you just spent hours watching on tv.

One negative was pace of play. Course used split tees for afternoon tee times, which was no issue.

We teed off on number 10. Starter there was friendly and welcoming. Group immediately in front of us was painfully slow, leaving a large gap between them and groups ahead. My specific complaint was that there was never an on course marshal to help move play along at a respectable pace. Even if the starter at number one had still been in place as groups made the turn, some of this could have been mitigated.

Overall round took well over 5 hours to play. (Unacceptable anywhere) So word to the wise for booking late afternoon times, there would be a great chance of not completing your round.

I have played this course many many times. This is absolutely the worst experience with slow play i have ever had. 6 HOURS!!!! Pathetic!!!!

The course is always fun to play but I don't like small tyne holes in the greens without notification. This is not fair. We pay top dollar to play on maintenance greens? C'mon nowwww.

i was surrended by the fine view of 11th hole.

the course had its own fascinating value.

I had read some recent reviews online about the 11th and twelfth holes. Eleven having a temporary green, and twelve a temporary hole. So I called Golfnow and asked them to call the course to check on the status of those two holes before booking. We were assured that was no longer the case. So we booked and headed to the course with much anticipation. We arrived early enjoyed the range, a drink overlooking 18, a cheeseburger that wasn't worth the price. Once we got on to the first green we realized that it had been very recently top dressed. So not as smooth or fast as normal, but oh well. Then we get to #11. It is a strangely shaped green. Almost U shaped. Only one small part of one side was open. Then we got to # 12. Not playing the real hole but a temporary hole that was a joke. Needless to say we weren't pleased being lied to by Clublink / Glen Abbey. We had a beautiful day of weather and otherwise the course was in nice condition.

Its always a great day at GA

They are starting to get the course ready for the open and it is in great shape

This had to be the calmest day I have ever played here. What a gorgeous day to play here. Always a pleasure. The greens were not great but it is only May 26th. It can only get better. We played the tips. I hit driver 6 iron pin high on 18. We had a blast of a day.....

I live in Oakville and always wanted to play Glen Abbey.

I know there is work to do at the course until the Open but if I was a paying Clublink member I’d be really upset at the course conditions. And especially the first 5 holes which may as well have been on a public municipal course. Weeds everywhere, bunkers with a lack of sand and rakes, bone hard fairways, general aspects like paths as one example of what should be a premium course looking very poor. Certainly relative to expectations. The back nine better than the front the only consolation.

Still the staff were nice, but overall my first and likely now my only edpeience was a very big let down.

Course is in good condition. Temporary green on 11, and temporary hole on 12 as they are repairing greens on those holes. Does not take away from playing a round at the Abbey.

Amazing time playing this course. Pretty wide open front which helps you score well. The back Valley is one of the most scenic views in golf.

Greens have wild slopes and tiers but playing slow at this point in the season (early May). I would have scored much worse if the greens were up to speed. I can’t wait to come back

Course was in great shape. Staff was great. Tee time delayed by frost. Greens were fast and true. Only one complaint, yardage from the green was very hard to find. Last played here in 1978.

It is always fun to play the Abbey but this was a tough day. Winds up to 45km/hr, course was drenched and standing water all over, cart path only.

I met up with some very nice people which helped. This was the wettest course I have ever played. Balls plugging all over plus the wind. I know the course can't control the weather but man, it was soaked.

I was on 16 in two, lagged it down for the birdie.
