I was just wondering if anyone knows of any jobs out there for the summer to work at a golf course. I am currently looking and something close to Nepean would be preferrable. Thanks.

Just heard on the Team 1200 that Kevin Haime is opening the range tomorrow, and "might" be unofficially open this afternoon. :D

Just came back from a trip to Vancouver and booked a round of golf at Langara Golf Course. The course is soggy, the temperature was cold, the bunkers were flooded and the day was rainy at first(got sunny just as we were finishing) and I was so glad to be out there. Too bad we couldn't book a second...

i don't know if this thread has come up before, but here it is anyway. are there any plans to include emerald links to the OGC list of clubs? i am sure most know how nice it is, especially with the new south 9. just wondering, longslice

I'm not sure if anyone had seen this review of Eagle Creek from last year. For the golfers that have never been there: http://www.canadagolfer.com/course-reviews/ontario/eagle-creek-golf-course.htm

....I'm going to lose it. Within the last few days I've driven by the follwing courses Marshes, Manderley, Stonebridge, Emerald links, Riverbend and even Richmond Cent. The weather is getting to me I can't even hit balls it's so cold. My father-in-laws b-day is this weekend and he's suppose to...

I've been waiting almost 6 months to see this ... http://www.ottawagolf.com/nowopen/index.htm :bigcheek but What's whit this !@#!&$ weather !!!! :mad; a snow/ice storm for this week-end !!!! ???? :eek:

Has anyone taken the golf clubfitting and repair course at Rideau High School? I've signed up for one given by Andre Joly. It starts next Thursday night April 17th. I am looking for some opinions about the course. Thanks! :canada

:director OK kiddies it's official. Golf season starts Friday @ Calabogie. First tee time 11:00 am :bigcheek

Local Author Ted Ronberg has put together a delightful collection of tips and advice for the beginning golfer. Filled with illustrations and humour, it is an easy read. You will not find swing tips or instructions on technique in this one, since that is not what it is about. Instead it focuses on...

The 19th Tee on Carling Road is now open. The chipping greens aren't yet but it's nice to be able to practice off the grass and not a mat. And short of working at a golf facility, nothing beats a driving range across the street from where you work...;)

I had the opportunity to "walk" Pakenham today and it will definitely need the usual 2 weeks they wait after opening up Calabogie. All the ponds are still frozen and there is still a bit of snow on some holes. Island seems to be in the best shape. The fairways are pretty much all dry except for...

When do you think we will be playing our first round of the season? I'm thinking it's going to be close to the middle of April, so let's go with Friday April 18th.:bigcheek

Mapleview Golf Club in Perth www.ottawagolf.com/mapleview will be online for booking in just a few days. OttawaGolf Club members will now enjoy acces to the course as well! Be sure to get a round in soon!

I have a couple of golf bags and some other stuff which might be useful for a starting golfer. Does anyone have a suggestion where one might donate this sort of thing to benefit kids who might not have the resources to buy golf equipment?

Her is the spot to check for course openings this spring. http://www.ottawagolf.com/nowopen/index.htm This list will be updated as soon as information comes in, until it is irellevant :bigcheek Be sure to call ahead as these dates are tentative. Spring is definately here :bounce

Played the front nine at Nationview today, not too wet gren nice but very slow. Course in very good shape for this time of year. :lol2

I'm heading to Malone (East course) on Saturday am. Can't wait !!! I'll log back in on Monday to share my course evaluation comments. Played the East course five years ago, don't know what to except, I almost can't remember the course.... Weird !!! anyway. Rob

My wife and I were thinking of joining Irish Hills as it is the only reasonably priced course near Kanata. I am wondering if anyone knows what the conditions at the course are like in mid-summer, i.e. does it dry out badly? One other thing, are tournaments a problem there. Any feedback would be...

Just got back from Vancouver Island and was able to play two somewhat dry rounds of golf. First game was at Fairwinds (near Nanaimo) a great course tucked into the hills with lots of nature and a well groomed course. Also played Olympic View (near Victoria) on Dan Kilbanks advice and was very...

So who's playing this morning?????:lol2 And to think we have a 9 am tee off tomorow...........:bigcheek

I have just registered with Ottawagolf. I have really enjoyed reading the different postings on the site. The broad range of subjects and opinions can be very intriguing. On the note of opinions, I had played Les Vieux Moulins, back in it's first year but have not been back since. Can you...

alright, anyone played canadian yet? need comments

Hey there OttawaGolf readers........... A few weeks ago I got an email from someone who wanted to buy an OttawaGolf Tour shirt so he could wear it while he was on vacation playing golf in Scotland......... home of golf! I thought this would be really kewl if he got a picture of the Old St....

Does anyone else think that maybe Stonebridge has gotten a little greedy??? $65 prime time in the summer is pretty steep. You may as well go to EC or the Marshes for that price. Even the $30 twilight is high. Sigh....I guess I won't be out there much this year. GarthM :(

Well, I finally got out and played my first round of the year on Wednesday afternoon. Emerald Links was the venue of choice for this round and I must say that the conditions were great for this time of year and the lack of rain through the spring so far. It was a perfect day for golf and what a...

I put this in as a new thread as I did not think it warranted being in the course conditions thread. Mr. Shank. My guess is that you are still missing the point. What would concern members at any public/semi-private facility are postings that "misinform" (e.g. pingzing's comment that...

I'M SIGNED UP TOMORROW FOR THE ONE DAY INTERMEDIATE GOLF CAMP AT THE KEVIN HAIME SITE OUT IN THE WEST-END. It's a full day (9 to 5) with wake-up juice/coffee/muffins & a lunch break included. The morning is Short-Game & the afternoon is working with the Woods. It's a $190.00 value that I won...

Was recently in Toronto, and visited Golf Town, (What a store!). Chatting with the salesperson they tell me Golf Town is looking to expand our way with a store in Hull sometime this year. Looks like Chuck Brown is going to get some real competition here.:D

From a local newspaper Manderley's new nine holes will be opening July 1st. Also Manderley is running the Barrhaven Golf League every Tuesday evening from 4:30-6:30pm starting Tuesday May 13th.

Was just in at CB's in Bells Corners and saw new signs up for a place opening up called "The Masters Club" and the sign says it has the newest in simulators using DVDs. Does anyone know anything about this or is this a really old sign that I just haven't noticed? :) The web site that...

Hello everyone, Has anyone been out to Loch Marsh this season ? What shape is it in ??

Does anyone know anything about the following course, "The Homestead at Wolf Ridge". They had an ad in Flagstick Golf Magazine- Spring 2003 issue. It wasn't helpful as the website listed is n/a. Supposely 9 holes are openinig this summer. Upon further investigation I believe it's in the Upper...

Stonebridge $30 after 4:30 7 days a week. Twilight goes to 5:00pm starting June 2nd As you can see, these top courses can be more economical for the player who likes to play after work. :bigcheek Family Special - 1 Adult and 1 Junior Green fee, 1 power cart and 1 medium bucket of range balls...

Hey there golf nuts, anyone know of new courses being built? I thought that a new track called Le Sorcier (or something similar) was being built, but I haven't heard anything on that lately... Anybody know anything? No real point to the question, I'm just curious.:bablefish

Anyone played Mapleview recently?

Heading up to Tremblant the end of June and we were thinking of playing Heritage on the way up. Has anybody played there recently? If so, what is the condition of the course. I heard from someone that the greens took a beating over the winter.

I seem to remember the subject of golfers getting together to sell or exchange clubs , being raised on this forum, over the winter. Did the idea die on the table due to lack of interest "?:bablefish

Anybody knows when is the Longest Drive contest/qualification at the Orleans driving range?

Congrats to "Grandpa" Kilbank, who in playing from the whites at Predator in the Golf-O-Max tournament this afternoon, took low net away from all of the 55+ players in the Senior's Division! hahahahahaha :golf :bigcheek Farzin took low net for the Men's Division from the blues. Farzin,...

That query about how to play #10 at Nation got me thinking that there is no normal way to play the hole!! It's short with no way to go for the green & there's also no reasonable fairway landing area to try to lay up into.. Totally not fair. Feel free to nominate any hole you believe is really...

Does anyone have any info about Stonebridge? I hear their having quite a problem with their greens (fungus) and fairways (fertilizer burn).
