Glen Abbey Oakville flood golf

Golfers who attempted to play Oakville’s Glen Abbey Golf Club yesterday would have needed scuba equipment.

The torrential rainfall and flooding Monday and Tuesday had several holes of the world-famous courses under water as 16-Mile Creek overflowed its banks.

Despite what looked like a long-term issues, the course’s director of operation, Allan Huibers, confirmed the intent is to open back up on Friday.

The course, which has hosted the Canadian Open a record 30 times, was nearly turned into a housing development several years ago.

Instead, it continues on as one of the most prestigious public courses in the country.
