Driving through Belleville/Kingston next weekend and was wondering which track would be more worthwhile playing the Saturday morning after a Senators game 5 win...

Question for golfers. Would an indoor Golf Driving range at March rd/417 to far away from the rest of Ottawa. Would you personaly go visit or get a membership. Now when I say March rd I mean the section of March rd that passes Carp airport. So again is this location to far for your convenience or...

I used to have a velcro strap thingy that goes around the forearm to help with golfer's elbow and can't remember where I bought it. Does anyone know where I can buy one? Thanks.

Being a Soutside Kinda guy I rarely get out west due to traffic. I need to go to golftown this weekend. I've played Arnprior once, my question is this whats better in your opinion Arnprior or Mtn Creek. Probably only game I"ll play out that way this year so just curious your thoughts. ...

Metcalfe today, 6 over with three wholes left, bogey 16, three putt 17 & 18; 82. I'm depressed, closest I will ever get to shooting in the 70's. All downhill from here on. Got to find a new hobby.

It was a year ago yesterday and today that we played our final rounds of 2006:thumbsup Many forum members were there and were caught on The A Channel news at 6:-) A few flags solidly stuck in the holes for the first few holes but then a rather nice day for golf.:lmfao ...

What was your last game/course of 2007? How did you do, any memorable shots, which hole? (It looks like we'll be thinking/dreaming about those for some time yet!!)

Hey all. I'm in Ottawa next Monday to Wednesday. It's my first visit to your fine city, and of course, i'm looking to play some golf (Monday as a single) I have been told by a few people that Eagle Creek is the place to play, but it looks as though you need a membership as of this year....

Playing Sand point Friday and someone told a buddy of mine that it was in terrible shape. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone have the dates for the local annual golf show?

My baby got the first birdie of is career on Sunday on # 3 at Madawaska's Sumack course !!:thumbsup:thumbsup . He followed it up with another on #8 !!! :thumbsup:thumbsup . Par is 61, 3015 yrds. from the yellows. He shot 87, ball down ! He's 6 yrs. old :eek: . #3 is a par 3, 87 yrds., 5W,...

Is there a website or forum page that posts local golf tournaments (Ottawa area)? Often when I'm in clubs I see signs for tournaments but I can never find announcements online. Yesterday I played Glengarry and they have a tournament coming up on a Saturday in September. You think they'd post...

did a search and not much discussion about driving ranges. Capital Golf is very poorly maintained, but very cheap if you get a membership. $100 for season and large buckets are only 3$. Conley Rd Driving Range i heard is beautiful, but 30 km's from me in Nepean. 19th tee has no...

I had a unique experience last night at the Marshes. I'm wondering if anyone else has ever run into anything like this... Our foursome teed off at 3:30 knowing that sunset was just before 7:30 and that we'd be pretty tight for time in order to complete our round. Around 6:30, a message showed...

Just got an e-mail from the Royal Laurentian saying that they will be at the Ottawa show on the 27th and 28th of March.Can anyone confirm the dates?

Hello All, I am looking to get lessons here in Ottawa. If you know of a great instructor or company can you please post it. I would prefer something on the cheaper end. Thanks,

They are touring once again this year to different courses in the area and at your local GT stores,mostly in early June. Apparently they will be able to fit left handers this year. I have sent them an email for confirmation of this and when I get the answer I will edit this thread.:thumbsup

A buddy of mine is coming up to Ottawa and want to take him to a nice course in the area. Looking to spend about 45-50. What would you recommend for a good time, yet challenging course. He wants to be 'wowed'

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

Anyone play it recently, going to go cheap this weekend with the impending weather and trying to decide on VM or Prior.

I was wondering what the membership is like at the Outaouais Golf course. Is is weird with it being a semi-private? Are there many tournaments? Weekly? Monthly? Are there many members or is it mostly the public that fill the tee times. How is the members atmosphere? I dont really have the...

Guys, just got word back from a reliable source one of the Ottawa valleys best amateur players Dwight Reinhart has relocated to Arnprior Gc from Renfrew Gc. This should give Arnprior a boost in regular intersectionals and Gordon cup. Kudos to Arnprior. Headcase, Deep River.:thumbsup

Anyone knows when the '' fall closings calendar'' will be up?? :-)

Supposed to play Manderlay on Sunday. Never been before. What are the conditions like?

Please answer Yes or No! Does having a driving range play a part in where you green fee? Does having a driving range play a part in where you join? If paying a green fee that is on the high side, should range balls be included? Do you spend at a half way house if its close to the...

Just throwing a discussion topic out there. Figured it would be fun to find out what everyone's favorite golf holes are that you've PLAYED. Not on TV at the Master's or Pebble Beach, even if you've played it. I know many people have played away from the city but let's keep this local (within a few...

friend got his car window smashed and clubs taken...they were Cobra Amp clubs with a orange bag. If anyone sees them for cheap please let me know...feel for the guy he is heartbroken!:(

So I know it's still fairly early in the season (for me anyways) and I'm still feeling out the new equipment purchased in the off season , i go out and scrape together an 89 :confused , hitting crappy shots and not having any feel for my swing (3rd round of the season) Then I go out 24 hours later...

Found it rather interesting (and disappointing) the other day when I entered a slightly better than average round at Greensmere and my handicap didn't change. I noticed then that the slope and ratings have changed for the course in recent weeks. Premiere: before: 69.2/118 after: 68.5/108 ...

hey guys, looking to play somewhere "special" this weekend. Over the last few years I have indulged in The Marshes, Smugglers Glen, Equinelle, Outaouis, le Sorcier and am looking to keep the drive alive with somewhere special to close out the season (although, I do hope the snow doesnt fly too soon...

Ottawa Golfers, I have been following this site for awhile now--great forum! My wife and I are both golfers and are just now arriving in Ottawa. Background: Living in Golden Triangle area near downtown, new Empty Nesters, working at embassy so only here 3 years, golf is our hobby. We are...

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

Make this Good Friday a Great Friday. Book your tee time at Pine View. http://www.pineview.com/en

Based on the lengthy discussion in another thread, I've pulled out the courses that have been mentioned by posters as to what local course could host the Canadian Open given some work. Which course do you think has the best (realistic) chance? Sorry if I missed any, I've added an "other" choice.

Does anyone knows if the dome at Landsdowne Park is open?Thanks.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows if Golftown is hiring any part-time positions in sales or club repair? Thank You.

Myself and three friends are heading to Tremblant next Friday and what to golf on the way up. I have called a few courses and they are all booked either with tournaments or just busy. I have called the following courses Heritage, Montebello, Le Belle, Le Bete, Le Diable and Le Geant, all busy on...

Can anyone comment on the state of the greens, i heard they we're doing some work on them the July 30th weekend. Thanks for the info.

get from Ottawa to Brockville? to the 1000 Islands? and to Kingston? Can anyone give me a reasonable estimate, my buddy seem,s to think it will take 2 hours to Smuggler's Glen, and I am thinking it would take 1-1/2 hours. Leaving from Woodroffe and Hunt Club --> 416 to 401 --> to Smuggler's Glen

Hey guys hope everyone had a good long weekend, seeing that hole in thread reminded me, were at Le sorcier on Friday, we get to the 12th hole i believe, par 3 110 yards, about 150 feet up above as all the par 3's are, so I bring my SW and my LW, not knowing exactly what club to go with. So i decide...

It is gorgeous out there, anyone want to play today? Pref. Em Links or around this area? It is my birthday and my hubby has a cold so I am stuck. :(

For those interested, the 2008 OVGA schedule is now posted on their website. http://www.ovga.org/mens_schedule.htm

Thanks to Colby who looked deeper than I did in the Clublink Finance dept. $7,369,000 is the cost of purchase for Eagle Creek.

I could not let the today go by without congratulating Foddz on his out of body magnificent 84 yesterday, which I believe beat his previous personal best by almost a dozen strokes. This miracle was witnessed by myself, 6 wood and LuckyLuc at La Cite in Hawkesbury. This was his first time breaking...
