Abbey View Golf Course & Track

Golf course were okay good for a quick round of golf practice swings and a short game. Worries about the car park run out of time when the course are busy.

Nice leafy and very quiet course with a real mix of hole lengths. 7 par 3s and 2 par 4s. The location is great for St Albans as otherwise you are having to go to Redbourn for 9 holes and that is a 30 minute round trip. 2 hours of free parking covers the whole round. Greens are generally pretty good condition. There are a few issues. The fairways are narrow and there isn't much of a rough to speak of. If you don't hit it straight it's a lost ball or you might even hit it onto a neighbouring hole. You need to keep your wits about you to if people are playing the other way (hole 2&3 and hole 1&9 are most at risk for this). There are a lot of walkers and dog walkers about. Moreso than other golfers. There are no tee areas, just tee mats and they are really not in great condition. A practice swing and the clubhead comes away covered in mud. The round is cheap if you can wait for a PM tee time. I wouldn't do an early morning time as it costs the same as Redbourn which is a better maintained and landscaped course and also has better practice facilities (driving range, chipping area and full clubhouse).
