We are undertaking a series of projects this summer to further enhance the golf course. All of the bunkers on the Executive Course are being reworked and filled in with new sand. Several new fairway bunkers are being added as well. We are also building a series of new tee decks on both courses to...

I played Edelweiss today. This is only the second time that I play there so I really don't know much about the course. The greens were crazy fast. I really mean "crazy". Every time I tried to chip and roll on to a green my ball rolled off the other side. On 18 I was 12 feet below the hole, I putted...

Its been years since I've played Canadian and looking to go back this year. Play with a bunch of guys in a semi/not so competitive comp each year. Looking to take the group there, but we want to look over a scorecard first to pick an appropriate set of tees. The club website is full of info,...

Women's shoes. I prefer to try on because online returns are a pain. Looking to spend around $50 max new simply because I don't know if I'll like the game yet. I live west of the city, close to Pembroke but come to Ottawa often enough.

Seriously. I know it's gonna pour rain tomorrow, but I just can't deal with this snow. What's within 3 hours driving distance where I can enjoy non-winter conditions?

I was wondering if I could get some help here. I have been playing the PGA golf pool for 3 years now. When I registered 3 years ago I did not fill in my address and phone number etc. Thus when I won the pool 3 weeks ago I was deemed ineligible.I have emailed the guy who runs the pool several times...

Prescott Golf Club facebook page The first tee of the Prescott Golf Club will be open Easter Sunday. No carts available at this time. Please book your tee times online.

Any thoughts on the course? They have a cheapish intermediate membership. 8 mins from my work for $1035 tax in.

Saw this a few weeks ago. They have a membership drive on for 799.00 and couples for 1399.00 i believe. I think its Thunderbird Co. that has taken over.

Hey again all, Thanks a ton for all the input when it came to Cartier. I actually will not be getting a membership. My wife and I have recently won a bid for a home on the first tee of Carleton golf and yacht club. Hopefully the home inspections go well.. I will be talking to Kyle (assistant GM)...

Hylands has its intermediate membership (29-35) on for an absolutely ridiculous price. There has to be a catch - right? 36 holes, good enough to host a can tour event (even if it's not stellar, it can't be bad).... I've heard that it's tough to get a tee time, and their booking procedure, i.e.,...

Any suggestions for a club fitting. I am a senior male and 22 handicap.

On Friday March 4th and Saturday March 5th!?!?!? Who came up with this bright idea???? Why not have it during the weekend like they did before, Saturday, Sunday. They only good thing for people who can free themselves Friday is that the parking is free! Not impress with the date...

Our club currently has its club championship over the 3 days on Labour Day Weekend. Typically the OVGA Seniors' Intersectional falls on the Tuesday following Labour Day, which causes some guys to save themselves for Intersectionals by not playing the final round. Consequently, there's been some...

Hello all, I am moving to the Ottawa/Gatineau area in April for work. I'm an avid golfer and enjoy competitive play, as well as good social play. I have done some research on the "top courses" in Ottawa/Gatineau but was curious to hear any and all advice. I'm looking for suggestions regarding...

We are repaving the parking lot in front of the club house this week. Please park in the south lot. The proshop is now operating out of the pub and golfers will be teeing off on number 10.

I keep seeing posts about slow play and the frustration is causes... But does anyone really have a true definition of "slow play"? Is anything more than 4 hour rounds slow play? or 4:15? or 4:30? I am sure that most courses would be very happy with 4h30m rounds, but I am betting many people...

I was playing this afternoon and found a TaylorMade 6 iron with a Medallist grip near the 17th tee. I turned it in, so if you are missing it, please ask at the pro-shop. I hope you can avoid having a gap in your set.
