Glen Abbey Golf Club

This was the second time I've played here. The first was 2017 right after the Canadian Open weekend and this time was a Spring round. The Course was in great shape for spring conditions and the for the price it was well worth the money. A national treasure.

First, I have to say that the price I payed, I had to play Glen Abby.
I met up with 3 very friendly people and we all had fun. I only gave the course conditions a star because all courses are still a bit rough from all the rain we have had. The greens were slower than normal most likely due to what I mentioned above. Due to my arthritis, I went downhill after hole #11. Bad hip, back, shoulder started to wreak havoc. I thought about just picking up. That, is on me though.
I know the course conditions will improve immensely and very quickly. Remember, we are only 2 weeks into May.

My wife and myself are very excited to have a chance to play this golf course and we were not disappointed had a great day and will always remember this day.

Wry good course. Played early in the season and the greens were punched. The bunkers were under construction and were impossible to play out of. Should not have paid 161 for those deficiencies

My wife and myself played for the first time .had a fantastic day and enjoyed every minute of the day thanks to glen Abby .

It’s a great getaway from greater Toronto metropolitan. Good food at club house. Friendly staff

It was a joy and privilege to play Glen Abbey on Nov. 6, 2022. This was my first time on the course. Having seen the holes on TV over the years helped. Obviously, the course history, the dozens of PGA tournaments, the champions that walked and played there, the shots are legendary, all added to the excitement of playing there. This, couple with fact that I had a hole-in-one on number 12, made for a memory that is difficult to equal or surpass. The course was in good shape and we played off of the blue tees, which played slightly under 6,300 yards. I played with Harold (from Vancouver), Adam and Zak (both from the Toronto area). We had a wonderful round! Although the course was not set up for PGA play (with exceedingly deep and nasty roughs, meticulously prepared sand traps, treacherous pin placements, lightning fast greens and the PGA layout) – it was truly pleasant, fun and exciting to play. The course was in good shape and set up for “daily play” that was fair and yet challenging. The fairways had generous landing zones. The water hazards (some full carries (with tight landing opportunities), ponds, crossing creeks), all provided challenging risk-reward scenarios that required commitment and execution. In my opinion the real work, at this course, occurs on the greens. They are uniquely shaped, often heavily undulated with pin placements were generally in comfortable locations. The green vary in sizes and odd shapes make the landing of your iron shots key. The very distinctly shaped greens add to the demanding accuracy needed if you want a bird or par. If you land in a remote spot on the green you could easily 4-putt or the horrible option of considering a chip over intruding “peninsula ruff or sand traps” that protrude directly into your putting line or the desired ball path. I could see where the grounds crew could select some potential pin placements that would be very diabolical. The ball rolls were fast and smooth, which allowed the putting of lines as you read them. These sand traps are numerous, well-placed and I believe were specifically designed to be where your ball wants to lands. Fairway or green-side bunkers are protective, deep or friendly depending on which one and where your shot lands. I am an upper 80’s, low 90’s golfer. Playing and par-ing holes such as the wonderful #11 and the famous 18th hole were fantastic. The round was a total joy and I look forward to playing it again. Thank you. ED
