Maintenance

I’ve played this course since I started golfing. The course in the past was maintained consistently, but since the new owners have taken over course, maintenance has declined. t boxes are in poor shape. And some greens are in very poor shape. not to mention the price has doubled since the new owners took over, double the price less maintenance. (come on owner have some pride in your course.!)

Extortion

The T time was a hot deal with (cart), Arrived at the proshop only to be told that I would have to pay $45.20 additional, thats full price not even 1/2 for the cart, despite a cart was included in the hot deal, I showed the girl at the deck my phone conformation , where it showed the round with cart. She did not know what to say at that moment, paused and came up with the excuse that it was golfnow's fault (what I call bifubule talk) and if I wanted to share the cart with another person, that person could give me half, $20...I said "your carts are not Covid ready" (barrier between the two golfers) she shrugged her shoulders and said "you can walk instead." I had no choice but to pay what ever the course wanted. Two things here that are very DISTURBING.. 1- that Glen Eagle EXTORTED money from me as well as the other in my group. (THIS IS ILLEGAL). ...as well as a violation of the Covid guidelines, suggesting 2 people (strangers) share the same cart with no protection. I cannot emphasize more strongly how (DISHONEST) this hole ordeal at Glen Eagle was, and goes against everything that golf stands for (INTEGRITY, HONESTY, FAIR PLAY and MORALS....) They really should be ashamed of them selves !!!

I respectfully disagree... the error, yours or theirs is not my fault, why should the costumer pay for a mistake that they did not create..my phone conformation as well as the others in the group (showed hot deal with cart...) there is no getting around that. G.E. should have called G.N. to clarify any misunderstandings at that time, not make one pay for a full cart, and go through the hassle of getting refund as well as dealing with visa and the wait.... As far as, I could have walked like you say..sure I suppose but I paid for a cart to be included. Despite everything I still (strongly recommend) Glen Eagle golf course!!!! to any one wanting a fun round of golf.

All our advertised tee times were clearly marked as "Walking only" and that limited power carts may be available. Golf Now, on their HOT DEAL included a power which WAS NOT at all authorized for inclusion by Glen Eagle. We did nothing illegal or extort money as you claimed. It is your option if you wanted to take a power cart or not, no one forced you. I have also been advised that Golf Now has refunded you some money due to their error.

COVID update from oct 2

Just to add to my review earlier, if you read the courses on Covid guidelines it says right there one player per cart. So two strangers in one cart is a clear violation of the guidelines… ...So I cannot recommend this course as long as they’re not following the guidelines. This we all should be taking very seriously!

Covid

Got there, was told I would be hooking up with somebody else on the same cart, there are plastic barriers separating the two players but with the fear of Covid two strangers on the same cart is not good heath practice Despite the fact of plastic barrier this is absolutely unsafe and unhealthy and not good customer service I was willing to pay for a cart myself but was refused and was told that they were too busy to give carts out as a single, before teeing off I looked around and there were at least two dozen+ extra carts When I finished there were still two dozen carts extra they could’ve given me my own cart no problem. It wasn’t that busy.It turned out lucky enough that the guy I was playing with was walking. As long as they offer carts with plastic barrier for two strangers I would not play this course.. One’s health is far too important than one golf course

Maintenance

Bunkers are hard as a rock they need to be tilled not just raked, T boxes need repair, As well as greens need to be aerated to fix all the ball marks from golfers not repairing

frozen snow

came all the way from toronto to play only to see frozen snow covering the course, did not even go into the pro shop i was so angry i turned around and went home. Not a call from the course saying there was snow.. funny though, i played a few days prior at 2pm only to get a call from the course asking if i wanted to play earlier, i could come up because the tee sheet was empty. poor customer service not to call about the snow!!!! waist of my time and gas!!!

cart covers

I have played here on numerous occasions over the years, yet still the carts have no bag covers in case of bad weather, like it was when I've played.(everything gets soaked). One accepts the fact that if playing in the rain, you'll get wet. I'm sure the covers aren't cheap.. but purchasing some at a time, (over the years) all the carts would have had them by now. After all die hard golfers will golf in the rain, and the course should try to make the golfing experience as pleasurable as possible under not so pristine conditions .

practice green needs to be rolled

The practice green next to the mini put needs attention...way to bumpy, every putt i took was deflected by bumps..(every putt)... the practice green needs to be rolled out. Other then that the round was good. The course is in good shape and the greens running true.

clear the greens & T boxes

This course is 1 of 2 that are open for winter golf near the G.T.A. which is great but...golfing in the winter is fine depending on 3 things, 1- the temp, 2- the snow(how much), 3- if the greens & T boxes have been cleared of snow & ice. The fairways, the times I've played there were manageable in terms of snow and ice (after all it's winter). BUT THE GREENS, & T BOXES NEED TO BE CLEARED OF SNOW & ICE!!! what good is winter golfing, when putting is 50% or so of the game. I've played there many times over the years and still the management has yet to clear the greens & boxes. If you are going to open for winter golf, then at least clear the greens..& T boxes. They would receive more business in winter if the greens were cleared (golfers would have more fun which translates to more business) no matter what all golfers want the feel of value for their money. So please clear the GREENS & BOXES!

It was potential scattered rain..at times hard that day, fortunately it did not rain but if it had, everything would have been soaked. "Please get covers for your carts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

cut the grass!!! (maintenance)

I have played this track many times and I have seen this course deteriorate slowly over time. The greens need to be cut and rolled, the fairways need cutting and maybe even the rough and the bunkers need to be tilled, for the money you pay with cart ; the course maintenance does not reflect the fee, especially when this course has 5 other sister courses under the same management. This track is definitely the bottom of rung.

Carts need attention

Great track...Quite challenging but the carts need a few improvements. all I heard was the sound of squeaking from around the course, including my cart. the belts are very loose, so the sound they make is, (very much annoying !) It started to rain quite hard for a short time, the carts have no covers on the back, so EVERYTHING GOT WET, a resort of this calibre should have better carts.

this course needs attention !

It's in the worst condition in years, Tee boxes are very uneven and in bad shape, bunkers very hard, less then 1/4 '' of sand (need to be tilled) , some greens need grass in spots and the pace of play for a course less then 5000yds from the back tees was atrocious .

Nice Track

I have played this track many times, the ground is hard.... but the course is nice one...(wow! hole 13...be prepared ! that's all i have to say about that) Greens are relatively quick and ungulate so good putting is a must. Depending on what tee you choose can make all the difference in the world, when it come to difficulty of the holes.
