Our club is playing senior intersectional at royal Ottawa. Usually there is a practice round. Not this year at royal Ottawa. Anyone knows if other private clubs are not allowing practice round. Not sure if the regular intersectional in july had the same issues.It seems none private clubs are...

Hi guys---can't get on the handicap page---is there a problem ? :-)

My dad stopped at Golftown in Mtl on his way to ottawa yesterday and ended up talking to the future manager of the golftown in Kanata. They are coming (finally) and should be opened by March. This should be a reliable source as like I said he is going to be the manager here in Ottawa. Finally a...

Is it me or are there a lot more specials going on right now than normal? Are they hurting for cash?

I played the Predator course at Grehawk last night and when I arrived at the 8th Hole (Par 3) they actually had cut three different holes in the green and had a different colour flag at each. I didn't know which hole to shoot at so I just took a shot at the green and decided to putt to the hole...

Has anyone played Royal Laurentian this year? I have tried to get condition reports but only found so-so on Trip Advisor and Expedia.

Hey everyone, I'm new to the Ottawa scene probably have played 4-5 courses, which would you say are the best values within a 45 mins radius of Ottawa?

Ok boys and girls.......... I heard Calabogie will be open before the end of the month. All fairways are snow free and waiting for the frost to come out. Only a couple weeks to go. :-) Time to make some goals for the year. 1) I do hope to bring that index down a notch this year. Playing a...

As you know this rumour has been around for 3 years (it seems like it's been around before they even opened). As you can imagine it gets a little frustrating for all involved at Stonebridge (staff and customers) regarding this persistent rumour. A year or so ago I posted saying that I was...

The Buckingham golf course is opening on Monday April 29th. This is according to their website

I was using the new City of Ottawa eMap for a work project last week, and noticed it has a great application for us golfers. They have the entire region on air photos (2002 & 2005) which you can zoom in on. Here is the link. http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/emaps/index_en.html (i) Click eMap....

For those that don't get ScoreGolf magazine, the May 06 issue had this to say about Anderson Links: "Near Ottawa, Cooke will also unveil Anderson Links in July. It's the first of two championship courses to be built for the Patterson family-the owners of nearby Emerald Links and Cloverdale golf...

So my folks moved here last year to be closer to me and the family. They bought a condo in Orleans and became members of Outaouais, but as much as they like it, they find the drive to the course to be a bit much and have decided to move to a different are of Ottawa, closer to a golf club, yet...

I emailed the Citizen organizers from last year to ask which courses would be in the mix in 2012 and got this: "The Ottawa Citizen is no longer facilitating the golf championship. The future status is up in the air at the moment as there is some outside interest in keeping it going. Stay tuned...

Just wondering if anyone could shed any light for me - when you book online through golf now or directly through the course website and it only offers 1 or 2 golfers, I assume that means you will be added alongside someone else who already has that tee time booked (a twoball with two spare spaces...

Looking at getting some pre-season instruction. Can anyone who has actually used this golf school comment on your level of satisfaction vs money outlaid? Thanks!

Hey all, I definitely don't want to start an open thread about where to play golf around Toronto. But, I am travelling for work in a few weeks and am going to play a round at either Black Diamond or Oakridge. Has anyone played both, either? Trying to decide between the two. Thanks in...

I don’t get around to many courses anymore but here is the review of what I’ve played this season; Ottawa Hunt is in excellent condition. Layout has improved with the recent renovations but there are only a couple truly memorable holes. But the conditions are top 10 in the country equivalent to...

I played re-designed Gatineau for the first time and really like it. Does it have a slope/rating ? i can`t seem it find this info on their site.

Just saw this tweet from Kevin Haime posted 3 days ago: "Kevin Haime Golf Centre opening next Saturday!!! 21 new personal 3000 watt infrared heaters. Hit outside in Feb.! Golf season just got long!"

Hi all... played Le Sorcier for the first time yesterday based on the great reviews people have given it here... I loved the layout and pretty much everything about it, aside from the fact that our round took 5 hours and 30 minutes. Wondering if this is standard for Le Sorcier, or did we just...

Hi all If any of you are the Kingston area. Get a tee off for Glen Lawrence GC. A great track to play. If you like elevation changes and some interesting holes, you'll love this one. You might want to take a cart as some holes are hilly. :-) We played there last summer in our inaugural OG...

Feedback anyone?

I'm just starting out and looking for a driver and fairway wood. Does anyone know when I can get reasonably priced, good quality clubs?

Just a quick question about bringing your kids with you to the golf course. Do courses typically allow you to bring your kids onto the course for free? I'd like to bring my 8 and 5 year olds with me a few times but I'd think twice if I have to pay two extra green fees. Obviously I would go when...

i know le vieux moulins has some 2 for 1 still. but anywhere else in the gatineau aylmer surronding have good green fees. thanls guys

Evening all! Moved to Ottawa from the UK in May and have only just received my golf clubs from the shippers. I'm now itching to play after 4 months without a game. This is after playing most weekends for the last 6 or 7 years! I know it's all relative, but I find the cost of a round here to be...

I would have to say it's #13 on the Talon course at Greyhawk. If memory serves my right it's over 430 yards and always straight into the wind. The green is elevated and the bunker in front is a real biatch. I think I parred that hole once last year and shot 10 or worse 5-6 times... After...

I have a tournament there tomorrow but I've never played the course. Is there anything I should watch out for that I can't see on the tee? Any advice would be appreciated.

One word to describe this course:Wow.If ever I needed incentive to leave La Belle Province this would be it.Gorgeous old style course with lush fairways,wonderfull greens,and what a layout.Every hole is an adventure.Just cant believe my wife and I did not play here before.And as a bonus if you get...

I usually play mornings, but last 2 "rounds" I had to play in the afternoon due to my schedule. 2 weekends in a row, different courses. First course had a tee off at 4:45 pm last Saturday as a single. Starter tells me a foursome teed off about 20 mins before me and it was clear. Nice start 1st 3...

I just finnsihed my last exam, coming to ottawa!!!! WOOOHOOO Anyone have any cheat sheets they've made for glenmar, greensmere, irish hills, meadows and of course loc march? Why don't they provide yardage books if they don't have GPS? Anyway, thanks in advance. Depe150@Hotmail.com

Well what started off with promise ended with bitter disappointment. Although I reached my goal of finishing in the top ten (tie for 7th) I feel like I should have placed much higher. Saturday started out real good, a 3 over 39 to start and I felt real good about myself. But after tripling the...

i will be in the area for May long weekend and decided to participate in an OGA tourney. Any insight into playing this course? is practice round allowed for nonmember? any help is greatly appreciated. thx. Manny

when the "live" part says "blackout". Is there anywhere on the internet that will take my money to stream PGA Tour events to Canada? sheesh...

Hey guys, I figured that I played about $600 worth of golf last year and would have played much more 9 hole rounds after work if I didn't think paying for 9 holes was a bit of a rip. So I'm looking into a membership this year so if I do want to go play 9 holes on a thursday evening I wont have...

We just added The Marshes, Stonebridge and Outaouais to the lineup of courses available at a discount through ReservationMasters OttawaGolf Club
