I miss the good old days here. If Dan ChiefLongTee are still lurking out there, greetings and here's lookin' at you, guys!

What options are people considering for indoor golf season? I’ve done winter golf school at Falcon Ridge the last couple of years but that had been discontinued in its previous format. Looking at domes or simulators or any other options to try and keep the swing in shape. Any input appreciated...

Just a heads up if you weren't aware, The Celtic Golf Centre is having their Grand Opening celebration this Sat, Dec 3 6pm-11pm. There will be some refreshments, meet the staff & other indoor golfers, and a chance to try out the new Trackman simulators. Event Info Link:...

Anyone on here has or has tried the 5 or 5.5. The 5.5 has a moderate toe hang.

Beginning this weekend, Crooked Creek is planning to reopen for several days. Check the Crooked Creek Facebook site. Cedar Glen will decide Saturday morning whether the course can open that day. Someone will be there to answer the phone as of 9 am.

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...

What’s the hardest scoring course in the area?

It's November but I haven't seen any courses announcing when their last day for 2022. Anyone aware of courses that have closed for the season?

Played Metcalfe 9-hole course this morning. Cart path only on holes 1-8, but only 3 and 4 were spongy and had standing water in the fairway. A couple of bunkers on 5 and 6 had water in them. The 18-hole course was cart path only on the original 9 holes (1 to 6 and 16-18), but I was told by another...

Ive been hunting for a club that is currently accepting new members for next year. Club link has openings and I would be looking at $3600+tax. Im on the waitlist right now for Greensmere and Hylands. I am 29 so if there are intermediate spots available that's a bonus aswell. I have looked...

I was wondering what you like and dislike about being a member. You can message me if you feel more comfortable. I have played the course a few times so familiar with the setup. Thanks for any information.

Saw online last week that Modern Golf, a high-end, brand-agnostic custom golf club fitting facility, announced that they will be opening up a new location in Ottawa. And with the news of TXG’s sale to Club Champion last week, we are likely going to see TXG locations across the country popping...

Played Black Bear and Trillium Woods and both courses in really good condition. Customer service also excellent at both courses. Bring Bug spray. On way back played Loyalist near Kingston conditions good but lots of houses on back nine. Would recommend this for a short golf trip but switch...

Would love to get a game at The Hunt this year. 38 year old male Clublink member just looking to play. Let me know if anyone would like to set up a game. Thanks!

For those who attended the event what were your thoughts? What did others think of the golf course? Would love to hear your feedback

Hello Has anybody played the Tremblant courses so far this year? We are 8 guys heading out this Friday for the weekend to play play Géant, Diable and Royal Laurentien. I'm curious how Le Géant would be after being closed for 2 years. And if any of the courses have suffered from winter kill...

rant .....I can tolerate some music on the course if it is not too loud (& I like to rock ) but what I cannot tolerate is people playing loud music, yelling and spitting sunflower seeds on greens. Why do courses put up with this ? 10 years ago these clowns would have been tossed off the course and...

Good day folks, I'll be up in pembrooke area next week and will try to get a round in. Any suggestions on courses?

Has anyone played Carling Lake this year

Announce today: Great news from Justice Labrosse on the 40% Agreement. The court concludes "The 1981 Agreement continues to be a valid and binding contract." More details to come.

Countdown completed this morning. Any surprises? Any thoughts/feeeback? Very subjective but always a good conversation starter.

I was at the Perth Golf Club yesterday and had booked a tee time of 8:51 Uusing their booking system. It was an early tee time since I had plans later in the day. The course was in very good condition. I arrived early specifically to hit balls then chip and putt before heading to the tee box which...

Anyone play any of the courses near playa del carmen/Cancun ? I am going late July and curious if they were worth the price. Thanks

Mitsubishi Tensei CK Blue graphite golf shaft with a Titleist adapter. Shaft was rarely used. Like new. Fits all TSi, TS, 917, 915, 913 and 910 driver heads. The shaft is Regular flex and plays 45.5 inches. Grip is like new.

Not sure if anyone else has had this happen. But this is a first for me. Emerald Links charged me for a no show when 3 out of 4 people showed up on a rainy day, that most people wouldn't bother playing. I can't say I'm going to book there again since I can't control what other people decide from...

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?!

According to an article on the Flagstick site, the Norway Bay golf course is reopening this month. Tried to paste a link to the article but it wouldn't work.

Since we where talking about Pineview number one hole, i decided to ask what your opinion of the worst starting hole in the region. My vote is my old stomping grounds Buckingham. I hate the first hole with a passion, O.B. left side, you never have a good lie, its short but very narrow when hitting...

My buddies and I have a tee time for Wednesday at The Marshes, but would reschedule if the course is still undertaking a lot of cleanup from Saturday's storm. I have repeatedly tried to contact the course but only get a busy signal. Does anyone know what's going on at The Marshes right now?

I've played five rounds so far this year, including today.The golf courses were almost empty every time, even today despite glorious weather. It's still early in the season but with rampant inflation including the high cost of gas, and the end of covid restrictions, I feel like a lot of casual...
