I am not a Club Link member, but I try to play the Abbey at least 1-2 times per year. I love the course !!! But…pace of play always seems to be an issue, never saw a marshal once. Simply put, the group ahead of us was playing from the gold tees and they had no business doing so, this slowed things down immensely.

Having said that, I do expect slow play at the Abbey. What I didn’t expect was “disrespectful “ maintenance staff. On the 9th hole, our group was preparing to take our approach shot, when we noticed the maintenance guy watering the green. He then waved at us to hit our shots…with him standing just off the green and the hose draped across the back of the entire green…Really???

On some other holes, the “crew” driving their carts, didn’t even stop to wait for us to hit, and continued driving as we teed off. Unacceptable for a course like Glen Abbey.

Thankfully, the course is so nice and the rest of the staff was professional and courteous.

First time playing here, course was in excellent condition, challenging but fair. Will definitely be back

I have played Battlefield several times over the years and I’m never disappointed. The course just opened and the conditions were great considering it’s early April. Although I live far from Niagara Falls, the course and the staff makes the drive worthwhile!

I have played this course several times since it went semi-private a few years ago, and I’m still amazed that they don’t have a starter or someone to tell you when it’s time to head up to the tee. I have found myself organizing folks at the first tee and trying to figure out tee times, very disorganized in that respect.

Love the course, the layout, and it’s challenging enough for my game. Overall, course condition is just okay, some fairways, greens etc... need some work.

This was my first time ever ending a round before it was over,

I decided to go play Turnberry spontaneously, there were plenty of late afternoon tee time showing on GN, so I went. It was a nice afternoon, and I thought I would go and work on my par 3 game.

I teed off as a single, and caught up to a couple of groups that graciously allowed me to play through, proper golf etiquette.

I was moving along very nicely and finished 10, and walked up the hill to the 11th. When I arrived I found a 4 some on the tee, young guys, who had obviously jumped in on that hole. It was the first time I saw these guys. Because the jumped in, they were waiting to tee off. I held off saying anything (in hindsight I should of) and decided to wait.

They were decent golfers and were playing from the tips. A few times they decided to reload off the tee, which was adding fuel to my fire. I waited every hole thereafter and this caused a backlog behind me. Another single behind me decided to bail on the 14th.

By the time we got to 16, I had enough! 2 of them teed off and put balls in the water, and decided to reload!! One of these young man finally looked at me and asked me if I wanted to play through. That’s when I lost it, and told all 4 of them that what they did was wrong and that they not only slowed down and messed up my round, but also everyone behind me. I walked off the course at that point and complained to the pro shop.

I never saw a Marshall once during my round! I’m certain this happens at Turnberry regularly. I caution all of you to save your $50 for a course that has Marshall’s .

This was my first and last time playing Turnberry, and that’s a shame because if this hadn’t happened I would have played there again.

A true shame.
