Glen Abbey prime time rate is listed as $165 including range and cart which is mandatory. This price range falls into the C rating category however considering this course has hosted 25 Canadian Open PGA tournaments, I don't think it is too bad of a value. I would suggest trying to go during the "opportunity" times since rates are less.

The difficulty for this course was difficult but fair mainly since the course was fairly wet which made the greens not too fast and receptive to long iron shots. Keep in mind this course won't be set up like it would for an open so the rough was cut down a fair bit and the pin placements were reasonable.   An "A" rating is right for this area given the current set up.

Being situated in Southern Ontario, Glen Abbey Golf Club really doesn't have a lot of mountainous scenery to work around but I'd have to say that the course itself is a work of art. Decorated beautifully with well shaped bunkers and some water, the trees and elevation here and there make the course flow perfectly together.  This course is deserving of an A+ rating for scenery.


The green conditions were excellent. They were smooth and true and very receptive to short and long shots. I have to give the greens an A+ rating as they were the definition of my A+ rating system.

Fairway conditions were also excellent. I don't think I've seen fairways as consistently cut as the fairways at Glen Abbey, they were terrific. I think a A+ rating for these fairways is appropriate.

The clubhouse had everything that Station Creek and Bond Head courses have however Glen Abbey Golf did provide that wow factor I had complained was lack in the other courses. This clubhouse is an A+ in my opinion.


The restaurant was very nice and the staff were very friendly. The only thing I didn't really like  was the menu was that was probably since it had so many fish and seafood dishes without my pub classics. A+ rating it is.


The layout was simply awesome. I wouldn't change a thing about this course layout however I think the course needs to be played from the tips (back tees) to get the full effect.

As mentioned early this course was well put together with great flow. The course designer, some guy named Jack Nicklaus, really did a great job working with the natural lay of the land. Of course the rating for this course is an A+.

Glen Abbey Golf Course is a Club Link course found in Oakville Ontario, just west of Toronto.
