Yesterday without a valid passeport, even if the borders are closed I didn't have to get in a plane to play an Afghanistan links style course. The place is called Les Vieux Moulins. How long will it take before it becomes a housing development? I'm betting 3 years at the most.

I usually play mornings, but last 2 "rounds" I had to play in the afternoon due to my schedule. 2 weekends in a row, different courses. First course had a tee off at 4:45 pm last Saturday as a single. Starter tells me a foursome teed off about 20 mins before me and it was clear. Nice start 1st 3...

So I get through 8 holes even, not by the skin of my teeth either, although some nice shots at the right time etc...si standing on the tee I recant that every time I get to the ninth even par I make a triple or something horrible. Not today! I try to put my 3 wood down the right side and end...

So the debate will live one more week. The Pro Circuit from Quebec is holding a three-day classic in the Ottawa area and they're playing The Marshes. So we'll see what kind of scores those guys can get.

I guess if you have minor health issues its best to cancel your golf game for a few days until the air air quality improves. Kind of scary looking outside right now. Keeping all windows and doors closed is s good idea. Be safe folks.

so after playing Champlain a few hundred times here's my list of improvements, just for fun. 1) Nice opening par 5. Gut the old green and use what dirt you can to make a more gradual hill in front of the green. Add a small pot bunker on the front right just for colour, you can use the...

:rolleyes Just to save people the trouble of driving all the way out there to find this out (like I did Sunday morning!) ... it looks like they are tearing up the Airport Golf Range to build some town houses. All I know is that it is closed now and looks like forever. Anyone have additional...

Hi, Anyone knows which home development company bought the airport golf range? Their websites would be great. Thanks.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Al's clubhouse in Ottawa for fitting, etc. I have gone to Artisan before, and Don is great. I do, however, have a certificate to Al's.. and wanted some input before I try it out. Thanks..

Jordan Warner of rivermead makes an albatross on #11..482 yard par 5..amazing stuff

This is the last of them, and people in the GTA have had good success in locating a bunch at their local Golftown. Excellent price for a ball that retailed for $50.00+ not too long ago.

The preliminary cut(differential) for this year's Alexander of Tunis tournament at the Royal Ottawa GC on July 10, 11 is 4.9. Anybody here in?

What was the cut at for the tunis today???

This tournament starts tomorrow at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club and if you want to watch some very good amateur golf this is a tournament to take in. I'd like to wish all the competitors, especially the ones on this forum, good luck. I don't know all that are playing but a few are marcf,...

Hey gang - in my annual desire to play as many 'new' courses as possible, and through the generosity of Strong49 in providing me some free passes, my wife and I are planning on heading up to play this course sometime over the early summer. I checked their website looking for some photos of the...

If you like severe mountain courses, i highly suggest you try this one out. It is a very challenging course to say the least. It does have some crazy holes but overall, we enjoyed it very much. Overall, it was in good condition with slower greens, as expected for this type of course. One hour and...

I have a pass for a 4 some to give away at Algonquin in Messines . Cart is compulsory but it's the only fee that you'll have to pay . Valid anytime in the week. Asking price : FREE

Going up to play Algonquin tomorrow, it's been a while since I played it. Is a power cart recommended or is it walkable? Thanks

Since Alice Cooper is in town on Saturday, I'm wondering if anyone will see him on a golf course that morning. Seems like he plays golf almost everyday, even when on tour. I thought a few years ago he was in town and played Hunt Club but not sure. Maybe someone will be his fourth this...

Note to moderator: don't know if this is cool with posting this, if so, let me know. I was wondering if we could start a forum or a newsgroup somewhere for all the clublink members so we could discuss current issues without invading other non members privacy... If enough people are interested,...

Will be in the area in early September, any course recommendations in the area would be appreciated. thanks - Bosco

Has anyone played in this tournament,just wondering what you get besides the golf and meal at Smugglersglen

Hi all; :) My doctor asked me to spread the word on his Alzheimer golf tournament, Friday July 8. He wants to let everyone know about the warning signs and treatment of alzheimers. It is at Meadows and it will have a lunch and a dinner, plus lots of fab prizes. It is $135.00 each or...

Last Friday I golfed a great event at Greensmere. 2 man team, 36 holes (each nine a different format) breakfast, lunch and dinner along with prizes. Turned into a great day as the sun came out. Now to my problem..... The score that won the event was -19. Very good score. Just over a...

I am looking for a tour to play in the up coming summer. I know there are a couple available, the NCGT and the Golf Channel Amateur tour. I am just curious if anyone has any suggestions. I would like to play one that is relatively competitive and not necesarily a beer drinking league. ...

Anyone know of these in the ottawa area scheduled for this year???

Played early this morning at Marshes with my brother and we were match with a couple living in Sweden . She comes from Ottawa and he's from there. He didn't know the course and at the starter's booth he said that he was thinking about playing from the gold tees . Knowing the course, me...

Just curious... While scrolling around Google Maps, I noticed Amberwood has an equivalent amount of vacant property beside the golf course. Was there ever a time when 18 holes were being considered? Do they own the property?

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?...

does anyone have an opinion on this course. I was thinking of becoming a member this year and would like to hear of your experiences at this course. Most imporantaly, is it busy. Last year i played at the dump (awful i know, but i didnt have access to a car) and found that 90% of the time i had...

Amherstview opening April 1 www.kingstongolf.ca/amherstview

Not the long awaited ace.... Finally shot even par 70 at Sandpoint. Had it to -1 through 16 but that #17 is a tough one. Not the big challenge is to card those red numbers, hopefully not another 14 years. Cheers, Gerry

Just played this past Sunday (friggin hot day - 40 in the shade) the course was the dryest and fasted i've seen it all year - on #7 from the whites it say 380 - i hit a great low drive with tons of roll ( actually lost sight of it from the box) after both of us hit we walked up to my buddies ball -...

Drove by today and saw that Flags,Ball washers and benches are up. Seemed to have a trailer inplace in frobt of the club house. Is it open for business? It seems a little silly to not open the course and put the pins in.

Will they be opening this Spring? I hear they are having financial problems. Club house hasn't changed much since late fall.

Didn't see any earlier threads so it begs to ask whats happening?? Lots od signs and fences blocking workers or golfers from entering. Looks like(from the outside) the only work done has been on the driving range and the greens.

I see all the work going on the course. Any news to opening?

I have been looking into several courses in the Ottawa area to get a membership for the 09 season. I visited the Anderson Links site and it did not mention anything about memberships, so I was wondering if anyone knows if they offer memberships? I would assume they don't if they don't even mention...

Wondering about conditions. Trying to pick a course to play for tomorrow, and haven't tried this one yet. Figured it would be worth a shot. Anyone know what conditions are like?

I am thinking about heading out for my first time but i was wondering if people can tell me what to expect whem I play there. Course conditions, level of difficulty. things of that nature. Thanks a bunch guys.

Played there today with my stepdad and a couple of his work buddies. Staff was super friendly, the old gentleman working as the starter was an absolute hoot to shoot the **** with and all the staff would stop their vehicle if they saw you lining up for a shot so as to not disturb you. They even...

Just coming back from Anderson Links (East / West) and I must say that not only is the course in good shape but the greens are simply amazing. Receptive, rolling true and just a tad slower than Equinelle. Well done to the staff.

I called Anderson Links on Sunday morning to book golf for 12 guys on Friday August 6th. The person who answered the phone told me that they only book one tee time per person per day. That sounds really strange. So I called another golf course and they were Ok with me booking 3 tee times on...

Going to play Anderson tomorrow. Which two 9's should we play? Which one (of the 3) is your favorite?

I was going through my bag of brochures / coupons from the golf show this spring and I noticed a 2 for 1 card for Anderson Links, Emerald Links, or Cloverdale Links. It's a plastic card about the size of a credit card, and it doesn't mention anything about restrictions or an expiry date, so I was...
