Just came back from there.... Excellent. Bunkers were well sanded...Played in 3.5 hours passed 3 groups.

How's it... anyone played @ Riverbend? Compare to? Thanks,

Le Sorcier conditions?

How much did you spend in green fees for 2008? Just playing the game. That is just green fees and maybe a discount membership. For those us who are not members of any club.

Today, I visited a range on the East end (the one on Ines road) for the first time and it was sad... no only my golf was t-e-r-r-r-i-b-l-e but the balls and mats are due for replacement badly. Is that always the case there? I practice mostly at 19th and I always taught that it was the lower end...

I am always looking for the best twilight deals. Preference is under $40 on or after 15:00/16:00 on decent tracks (mid to high end). Driving distance within 40 minutes. Thx

I have seen a few local club memberships ads that limit the number of rounds that a member can play for next year. Yikes, it feels like having an internet connections with max caps.

Any of you fine fellows have any experiences with the accomodations promoted through http://www.calabogiehighlandsgolf.com/? Looking to book a group of lads there for a sojourn this summer and would like to know if how many stars you'd give it... Note, this is not to be confused with...

I'm confused... a recent thread(s), which will go unmentioned, in which I was participating, has been locked down. Is it standard practise that if a thread gets too long that it gets shut down? I was under the impression that posts and threads were moderated for language and nasty content, but...

Posted this morning on http://golfsmack.blogspot.com/.

a mid-price public facility in the west end of town? I ask this because yesterday, when trying to think of where to book an early morning weekend round for myself and my playing partners, I became frustrated by the lack of options for those of us in the west end, who don't wish to drive across...

Friday afternoon at work, and I'm obsessed with google maps again... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=loch+march,+ottawa,+on&ll=45.342471,-75.981317&spn=0.005196,0.010064&t=k&om=1 Check it out - looks like 'holes' have been cleared to the left of the parking lot... I remember hearing...

Nudged my handicap just under 10 last week (was 9.8) and today proceed to shoot 105 at The Marshes. What the h-e-double hockey sticks is that?! Soliiiiiiiiid. Eagle Creek tomorrow. Who knows - but that's golf. I guess.

Did anyone else get that Cedarhill GC flyer in the mail this week? The one giving away a free set of Callaway X-18's with a paid membership? Not that I'm joining, but are they going back to being private? There was no mention of semi-private on the flyer, but no mention of it being private...

... even though it was at Irish Hills :rolleyes. Anyone else?

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...

Any members play it yet? I know it opens to the rest of us this weekend (playing it on Sunday morning)... wondering what your impressions are!

Just clicked one of Dan's banner ads here, to Thousand Islands CC... old tyme-y lookin' place. Anyone ever played there, just out of curiosity? http://www.ticountryclub.com/old_course.html

Anyone going? It's not really that far...

With this forum.

Can someone please explain to me why Edelweiss is charging weekend/holiday rates for Monday when it is not a holiday in Quebec? :thumbsdow None of the Ontario courses were charging weekend/Holiday rates for St-Jean baptist.

Had the chance to play eagle creek today (last time I played was pre-clublinks) and had forgotten what an awesome fun course it is. I absolutely love the risk reward holes this course offers...wish I had the $ to join clublinks :drooling

I am getting back into golf and am considering a membership but am not sure which club. I live in the Riverside South area and am pretty new to the Ottawa area and would love some advice on the subject. :cool

I am moving from Ottawa out to Carleton Place this spring and was looking at some feedback a few of courses out that way. I am planning to get a membership for the course. 1. Mississippi 2. Pakenham Highlands 3. Greensmere I was a member previously at Ottawa Hunt, but the drive doesn’t...

Well once again it is that time of year when we stare at the melting snow and start thinking about the golf season ahead. It seems every March I find myself trying to decide between a private membership, semi-private membership, corporate style memberships like the one offered here at OG or...

No, this isn't a thread about Clublink. Stonebridge has set their pricing for next year's seasons passes. Almost a 20% jump for the unlimited pass. The 7-day is up $350 to $2250 + GST and the 5-day is up by $95 to $1595 + GST. It is still considered a golf pass and not a club...

I wanted to post to the earlier Clublink thread but it was closed. Is there some reason we can't discuss this on this forum ? Anyways I decided to go directly to the ultimate Clublink source, President Robert Poile, for info about Ottawa expansion. I did NOT mention SB or any other course in...

Big congrats to Ottawa's own Allen Mcgee who outlasted 70 golfers from 20 countries to win the Volvo Masters Amateur championship today. The tourney was held in Marbella, Spain. Local Canadian qualifiers were held across the country with several in the Ottawa area during the summer. Over...

I really think this is just an error but did anyone else notice the curious mistake in the large Clublink ad in todays Ottawa Citizen? The ad features a fairly detailed map of the Ottawa area and eastern Quebec with major highways and roads shown and dots that indicate all Clublink courses. ...

Took the plunge and bought a membership at Emerald yesterday. Really looking forward to the upcoming season and getting out and playing with some of the other members. cheers.

Anyone have any news on the new Equinelle course being build near Kemptville? At the golf show last year they indicated they would be opening (9 holes at least) this year but from driving by it I have my doubts.

Any here a member at Carleton? I am considering a membership there for this season.

Any place in town that will do one-off embroidery? I want to get something done on my big as$ staff bag. Used to be a guy at the Stittsville flea market, not aware of any others.

Anyone have dates and details for up-coming cash scrambles?

Looking for someone local to pull a TM adapter off of driver shaft and install a Titleist one. I have the adapter already - just need the expert labour. Thanks. p.s. tried building my own shaft pulling rig last time and ruined a pretty expensive shaft - lesson learned :irked:

Curious if anywhere is still open for this weekend (Nov 20-21) Pineview seems to be available but is still charging $45 a round and you need to pre pay! Hoping for a nice fall rate if anywhere else is still open!

Anyone playing in this scramble at cascades this weekend? (June 11-12) I’m a high handicapper playing with an even higher, wondering how bad a weekend were in for. We did a couple practice rounds a couple strokes over par with some lucky putts…think we’re coming last?!

Does anyone know a virtual golf spot offering decent deals/multi game packs or even memberships? Golf o max is now $40 during prime time to play 18 holes. They do offer a free game for every 10 played and some deals after 10pm on weekdays but beyond that, there’s not much. It’s hard to justify...

This weekend looks horrid and most are closing Friday if they haven’t already. Any open into next week? Next weekend looks very playable
