Has anyone played or heard about the new 18 holes at Raceview (Falcon Ridge)? Any comments about course conditions would be great. For $33 on the weekend I am a little bit apprehensive, but regardless I am playing it Saturday...any comments welcome!

Any idea when the course will be ready to play on the Links Golf game?

Have a look at www.ottawagolf.com/greensmere and be sure to take the Course Tour!

Hello everyone...I am playing Les Vieux Moulins this weekend and I am looking for any feedback from anyone who has played it this year...let me know, thanks!

Anyone know of a web site to find the first round results from the tourny played at Stonebridge this past Tuesday? Checked the Citizen site and seeing they're sponsoring it I thought they'd be there. Thanks

Today was a sneak preview. I took a few pics and I will be posting them soon. The new South nine opening has been delayed another week or so, but I assure you.... You gotta go play it. The very first thing that struck me when I saw the first tee was; This is by far the best condition I have...

Hey guys, I'm having my 17th annual tournament at Pakenham Highlands next weekend. We are looking for a couple more groups before I call with my final numbers. If you want to play in a Fun Scramble format tournament, you can email me or pm me with the names in your foursome. I will take first come...

The Academy has opened up at the Marshes and one of the teaching pros is Penny, who some may know from the OAC golf school, Cedarhill or Kanata Lakes. I've had very good success under her tutelage, not taking away from the others at the OAC.

has anyone heard rumours about G.Patterson building some new golf facilities on or near anderson road..story i heard was at least one course..indoor facilities and a bunch of other stuff..anyone else hear anything??

Hi everyone, Jost wanted to post some rumors I heard on the golf course about Clublink. These rumors affect public courses so they should be of interest to you all. 1) Clublink has bought or is on the verge of buying Stonebridge and will make it a private facility 2) Clublink made offers to...

Monday was a beautiful day, and I made my way down to Lanark to photograph Timber Run. I did not get to play, but the course certainly has some pretty holes! The clubhouse is definately a one of a kind treasure. Check it out http://www.ottawagolf.com/timberrun/index.htm

The South Nine at Emerald Links is now open. For a look - Emerald Links and click on "South Nine"

Has anyone been these courses lately??.....What sort of shape are they in??.....thanks

Good day folks, I have set aside my evening for a skills competition out at the Orleans Golf Centre. Just wondering if anyone here has taken part in similar function? This one is sponsored by Tommy & Lefebvre and Chez106. Thanks,

:confused has anyone played the oaks of cobden this year...played there last year, was thinking of going back, and was wondering about conditions.

Hey all, My wife and I will be in Merrickville on the weekend of Aug 31 and were wondering if there are any "easy" courses close by. She's not played at all so far this year, so we're looking for a relaxed, easy course. Cheers, Grant

Played Renfrew last Wed and was VERY disappointed with their greens. Despite all of the rebuilding there seems to be some sort of weed in the grass. also a number of bare spots. I have played there several times last year and earlier this year and thought they were making good progress with the...

Played the new nine at Emerald Links yesterday and it was worth it. Fairways and greens are in great shape. It is a lot more wide open than the other nines, but still some interesting holes. No real silly holes either. There is a little more water to contend with, lost one ball in it because I...

Some of you have reported errors on this site over the last couple of days. The reason we are experiencing these problems is that OttawGolf has been moved to a new, faster better stronger server at Travel-net.com The move unfortunately has not been as seamless as we hoped, and there are still a...

Just to let everyone know. On Sundays and Mondays after 4pm you can play Nine holes and have a really nice dinner for $50. At least this would be an affordable way to play The Marshes.

Heard that Cedarhill has been sold for a reported $3,000,000. Anyone know any further details.

what are some of the better deals around after 4pm on weekdays, for either 9 or 18???:confused

I heard this morning that the Club house at Amberwood was destroyed by a fire this weekend. Anybody has more on the subject? I wonder who will pick up the tab. Of course the insurance will but will the members chip in for a little bit more? Is that going to affect the daily fees for next year?...

It arrived today - not a beta, but the final. It won't be long now until it will be in the stores I'm sure. Shipping date is Sept 19, 2002 I played a few holes on most of the courses that came with it, to look at the scenery, new textures and texture seams, and it really is a step up from 2001....

Played The Marshes on Friday afternoon and the only thing I have to say is GO. What a great course, and with the $25.00 coupon they give you it is the best deal in town right now. The course is in excellent shape. The GPS in the golf carts is great. How far to carry the water, distance to the front...

I'd like to welcome Royal Papineau Golf Course to the OttawaGolf Featured Courses. Royal Papineau is a beautiful course in Notre Dame De La Sallete, about 1 hour's drive north of Ottawa. It is about 20 minutes past Buckingham Que. I went up to photograph the course last weekend, and found...

I played in last Thursday's Survivor Challenge at Greensmere. All I have to say is without a doubt, the nicest greens I have played on for under $50!!! The actual tournament was 36 holes, with cart and dinner for $100. Had a blast, front nine was played as alternate shot, the back was best-ball,...

Now that we are entering the fall golf season, I thought it would be helpful to be informed as to the course conditions around Ottawa. As we all know, courses are always being improved, but to do so, sometimes means work being done while we play. Although Cloverdale is in great shape as usual,...

I saw the Weekend Duffers tv show last night. Has anyone else had about enough of Kevin Haime? He is so full of himself it is nauseating. I wanted to watch the show, but switched it off after Kevin's rambling about his perfect golf upbringing and how he's a "big fish in a small pond" here in...
