Glen Abbey Golf Club

Was a little intimidated at first but settled in nicely .Group in front studied every shot a little long and really slowed down the pace .Our group and two foursomes behind were all trying to get the 18 in but ,you know the guys who think there playing the open ,nothing quick about there game .

Course was in very nice shape. Greens were excellent. Bunkers were average. Fun course to play. Rough still manageable this far before the open.

Fabulous weather coupled with a beautiful course made for a great afternoon of golf. Only got 16 holes completed before sunset. Challenging course with lots of nice scenary. We did see a coyote in the trees close to hole 13 but it didn't approach us. Would definately book again.

Typical Nicklaus course with bunkering used to crush you at every swing.
Greens had been aerated several weeks ago; but were ok. Speed was OK. Just a tiny bit rough.
Bunkers were being prepared for the Open so were messy.
Speed of play was 4.5 hours...OK

Ontario's most famous Golf Course, Tiger Woods won here the Canadian Open 2006 and it was a real pleasure to play here. It was a tournament and that day, there were three tournaments, but we had the feeling to be alone on the course. Never hold up, never someone was pushing from behind, only us and some maintainer. We enjoyed to be out there and while we were still gaping hole by hole, the play was over... Of course it is very expensive compared to other high class golf courses. But to be hones - we can be glad it is open to the public and so if you have the possibility to play there - do it.

My father retired this year and I could think of no better present than a round at the fabled Glen Abbey. We were not dissapointed. From the parking lot to the 18th green we encountered fantastic service from the staff (on 14 one of the maintenance workers found and flagged one of my wayward drives!), impecible facilites, and a challenging and rewarding golf experience. That being said, the price tag puts it out of reach for anything but an extravagent, once-in-a-lifetime trip. There are many golf courses that, in my opinion, are close to the same quality but are half the price of a green fee at Glen Abbey. I would definitely recommend playing Glen Abbey at least once in your life as it is not only a historic center of Canadian golf history, but one of most beautiful tracks in North America.
