Glen Abbey

The Abbey is not in as prestine condition as you would see before our Canadian Open but still enjoyable treat now and then. Sandra's dont seem to be as well taken care of as usual. Lots of hard areas less sand. Makes for a difficult day if you cant avoid them. Everything else just seemed regular and not extra special.

A true premium course

Great course and friendly staff! I've never been disappointed whenever I play here. Kudos to the groundskeepers and maintenance team for keeping this course in top shape. While the price is a bit on the higher side, it's definitely worth playing at least once a year. Though I've never managed to par #18, it's my favorite hole thanks to the unforgettable Tiger Woods moment from the bunker at the 2000 Canadian Open. Keep up the great work, Clublink!

Great Course - but lacking basic golf course services.

I love Glen Abbey because of its history and Canadian open events. But I will only play it once per year as a novelty experience. The golf is great but for the price, you would expect better on-course services. There is no marshall on the course to ensure pace of play. And what course of this calibre has no food and beverage carts? I guess they figure a halfway house is all that’s needed.

Ridiculous pace of play

It took 2 hours and 20 minutes to pay the front 9 and 2 hours and 10 minutes play6 holes on the back. That is 4 1/2 hours for 15 holes.

I had to leave after 15 holes and missed completing my round !

Ridiculous pace of play for "supposedly" one Canada's top golf courses and Club Links flagship.

The starter was tremendous.

Just love this course. From the starter to the greens crew I saw on the course, everyone was so friendly.

The greens were rolling so nice, all greens in play.

The course was in excellent shape.

Highly recommend.

Just nice

Very nicely maintained. Great driving range and putting green. Greens aren’t particularly tough to putt on BUT very difficult to stick your approach shots, especially if you’re coming out of the rough.

Great course

You can go through all the history of canadian open. Especially appreciate how hard it was what Tiger Wood did in last 4 holes to win the championship.
