Glen Abbey Golf Club - Photo Tour

The Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario is arguably the most famous course in Canada. Over the past number of years it has been the home of the Bell Canadian Open and has attracted golfers from all around the world. It is one of the few courses in the world to host a PGA Tour event, that is still open for public play. Located just outside of Canada's biggest city - Toronto- it is a short drive from most centres in Southern Ontario.

Originally designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, Glen Abbey is known for its wide fairways and wicked undulating greens. This is very much in keeping with the Nicklaus style of course design. Its section of 'Valley Holes', 11 through 15 are a remarkable example of using the local surroundings to their fullest advantage.

The interesting Par 3 3rd. Depending on the pin location
the pond or the front bunker come into play.

 

The Signature 11th hole. Players hit their tee shots down
into the valley toward 16 Mile Creek.
A truly gorgeous golf hole.

 

At the bottom of the valley we find the Par 5 13th green.
The wildly undulating green is protected by water on the front edge
making for a challenging approach.

 

A view of the 16th fairway. Long hitters can reach in two but the
massive green can leave you a massive putt.

 

The famous 'Cloverleaf Green' on 17.

 

The 18th hole tempts players to have a go for the green
but water looms short and large bunkers in behind the green.
