Whats your favorite golf course under $40 in the Ottawa area? When my friends and i golf all the time, not all of them can afford to pay the $50-$110 per round of golf 2-4 times a week. What are some of your favorite "budget" golf courses? I like Cloverdale Links, Manderlay and the...

Well what started off with promise ended with bitter disappointment. Although I reached my goal of finishing in the top ten (tie for 7th) I feel like I should have placed much higher. Saturday started out real good, a 3 over 39 to start and I felt real good about myself. But after tripling the...

So i have to come back to ottawa for a few days to take care of some business so I've challenged dan to a rematch. Before you vote let me tell you about my game plan this time I'm going to go for a run in the morning, do 100 push ups and 400 sit ups before my match. I'm going to chip and putt...

I have never played Hautes Plaines but have heard mostly good things about it. Just wondering what you guys thought.

Dragonfly Links will be the region's first open course! Opening day is Saturday March 24. Green fee just $24 2 temp greens posibly one or none by Sunday. Phone ahead for conditions.

Hey Saint, your a member at Outaouais so maybe you could answer this. I was told by 3 people I know that Outaouais has a special on for next year. No initiation fee and half price for the green fees. So that would be $1300. for an entire season of golf, no limitations. If this is true then...

It is with great regret that I must announce the cancellation of our Public Player Program. Golf Quebec has assessed us as having 500 members enrolled in our RM discount golf club. They feel justified in demanding that we pay for 500 public player memberships instead of the 30 that have signed...

I know it's more premature than last year's thread; but only 103 days until April 15!

Might as well start it. Gatineau greens are punched.Best wait a few weeks.

34c right now. Humidex of 46. Got in from the course an hour ago. We played in the "cooler" part of the day :laughing: We hardly even looked at our putts it was so hot we just wanted to get back to the shade. It reminded me of playing in the rain and trying to stay dry. Stay hydrated if...

Had atee time booked at Loch March on Thursday. Showed up only to be told there was a tournament playing. But thee should be no problem with us getting a round i, in 4.5 hours. By the time we got to the pat 3 7th. We were one of three foursomes waiting to tee off with another foursome on the green....

Me and a couple guys were talking on Monday after our round at Outaouais, and we all wondered if Ottawa area courses were to join together with a reciprocal type of approach that if your a member at any course in Ottawa (let's say that belongs to OVGA) you would have access to all courses within...

I know 2 rideauview view and royal ottawa are on the top 100 score magazine What others r good? ? In terms of layout, difficulty, condition I've only played highland, kanata and Canadian. Not as good as I was led to believe. I would have to say I like Canadian the best so far

The Globe and Mail put out a list of Canada's top 100 public and resort courses. Courses were ranked by 135 panelists (low to high handicappers) using a 100 point checkist in 4 catgories (condition, design, enjoyability, service/amenites). We have 3 of them. :) Eagle Creek - #17 The Marshes -...

OK folks you heard it here--starting tonight, east and west queensway down to 1 lane. Starts tonight at 11:00 Anyone teeing off tomorrow better check thier drive times. :) CJOH NEWS AT NOON

Hello everyone! I have been recently thinking about joining reservation masters, and I was curious if anyone knows about the $425 special ?? You get the membership plus 15 rounds. Now my question is ... For those 15 rounds are you restricted to where you can play or does any course count ?? (I know...

Radar Rob at Metcalfe Golf Club is predicting April 19th as opening day, nice to look forward to today after a nice dump of snow yesterday https://www.facebook.com/metcalfegolf/videos/10156538528847971/

Starting a new thread to collect some constructive suggestions. Here are my suggestions for changes. 1. Restrict entry to holders of official RCGA handicaps only. No RCGA golfer ID, no entry. Period. No "equivalent" handicaps certified by a pro. This doesn't mean you need to be a member at...

Having a hard time deciding which route I'm going to take. Here are my options... Hunt Club - very nice course, walking distance to my house, expensive but a decent under 40 plan though, $100 for one of my buddies to play with me which is expensive for them. Hylands - never played it and...

Played Casselview for the first time this year. Had a great day out. Thumbs up to the pace of play, the courteous and friendly staff, and the overall condition of the course. Massive thumbs down though to some of the courses clients who seem to feel it's an entirely acceptable practice to leave...

I am looking to join either one of these tours, I am an 18 handicap and wish to get out more in a semi competitive environment and meet other golf addicts. I am probably only able to play one or two events a month but the slammer tour commish said that is not a problem with the slammer tour. I...

I will report back with my disappointments and displeasures shortly... :P

Haven't seen or heard much on this lately, has anyone heard when the place might open and where it will be located???

I would have to say it's #13 on the Talon course at Greyhawk. If memory serves my right it's over 430 yards and always straight into the wind. The green is elevated and the bunker in front is a real biatch. I think I parred that hole once last year and shot 10 or worse 5-6 times... After...

Predicting warmer weather this week but many courses are closed.Some are listed on this site but not all and some are listed but are now closed ie.today was Pineviews last day. What's open? what"s not?Would appreciate your help.

We (the wife and I) have tickets for Thursday. Anyone know of a good place to stay that's relatively close to the golf course (don't really want to be downtown) Thanks.

Teed off at 11:30 today and decided to take a cart (which I don't normally do) but because of the weather forecast calling for rain I though it might come in handy. Played the first 3 holes of the old back nine and then came the rain. Decided to try and wait it out and there was some serious...

My attention has now turned to The Canadian for a home course next year. I've heard ots of good things about it,. have to get out there and play it sometime this summer. I was starting to settle on EL, but the restricted membership at Canadian looks like a good deal. Any Canadian members out...

Don't know if this is the right spot for this, but I am wondering if anyone has an idea on how to get in to play Le Maitre? It's a clublink course. We played it a couple of years ago somehow, before I organized our annual trip, but now I get no response when I email the "powers that be" at Clublink.

Heard a rumor that NBG are moving into the SC at Place d'Orleans (Ottawa East). Went in on Sunday and their sad golf department was looking like it was undergoing a make over, with almost all the clubs taken off the back wall. Could not find anyone to talk to. Note that there are a couple of...

NEWS ALERT :party Kevin Hames WILL BE OPEN tomorow :party 9 AM to 6 PM daily

The end of my run this morning took me to the path alongside the river holes of Chateau Cartier. Yet again I noticed as I have done several times lately that the course was utterly deserted. I stood and stretched near the 4th tee box and there was no-one on any of the river holes (#4-#8), then I...

As of August 23, 2010, Loch March will be introducing new rates! They will include pricing for Peak, Non-peak and Twilight rates along with senior and junior rates. Booking a tee time will change to 5-7 days (weekdays / weekends) Loch March also just launched their new website today at...

Ok..I should be catching up on some work, but I'm sitting here reflecting on my golf season. With less than 2 weeks of the official season left I was thinking of the best courses I've played. I'm not saying these are THE best, just the best 10 I've had the privilege to play on. Some are just...

Feedback anyone?

Lets say money is no object and all that matters is lush fairways and well kept greens in a picturesque setting. What course in the area private or public is the best in your opinion. We have a plethora of coureses and I'd like to know everyones thoughts. Personally from the ones I've...

I played the Predator course at Grehawk last night and when I arrived at the 8th Hole (Par 3) they actually had cut three different holes in the green and had a different colour flag at each. I didn't know which hole to shoot at so I just took a shot at the green and decided to putt to the hole...

Went on the Golf Select site just to see if there was anything going on, and could not find Equinelle on the course list. Has golf Select dropped EQ. Executive golf still has them on their course list. Does anyone know what's going on ?
