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.

For a premium course was in poor condition and no gps on carts. Greens were bumpy and patchy.

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.

In its glory

Played off and on for ten years. It went downhill but it’s back and better. Everything from staff to greens are a 10/10. Nice to see it back in its glory.

Course used to be in mint condition, now, it is very questionable. Especially around the greens and some tee off. Maintenance budget likely went significantly down

Best course in GTA

The golf course offers a picturesque setting with well-maintained fairways and challenging holes, providing an enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels. I had a fantastic time on the course yesterday, the serene atmosphere and lush surroundings made it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a round of golf.

Best value in the Oakville/Burlington/Hamilton region

$90 dollar twilight rate for a course with so much history is a steal. Most courses say it’s 50-70 dollars twilight rate but if you take a cart it’s incomparable to what you get at Glen Abbey. Course is in incredible shape.
