If anyone hasn't played this course, you have to play it. What a great course. I saw some deer, I saw some hawks and some great views. Its kinda far but well worth the trip. Very friendly staff, great conditions and pretty hard course. Check it out, was very happy i went out there

Check out the article from the Ottawa Citizen http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/sports/story.html?id=e4d10b30-4514-4328-82bc-d4296e8564dd&p=1 Hi guys just thought I would update you all on the progress the GCAT Ottawa has made this year. Our third event is tomorrow at Emerald Links...

I hope to get out at some point this weekend. Can someone recommend a course that would handle the rain fairly well?

We are pleased to present the 2nd Annual Drive 4 ALS Golf Tournament. The tournament will be held on Saturday September 6th 2008 at the Riverbend Golf Course in Richmond Ontario. WHAT IS ALS Amyotropthic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's Diseease, is a rapidly progressive and fatal...

I played Le Geant yesterday for the first time and I was impressed with the layout, scenery, and amazing elevation changes. However, I was not impressed of the service and conditions of the course. It is supposed to be a premium course (ranked 34th in Canada's Best courses-Scoregolf). First of...

So, I've given up trying to find the swing I had last year, after about a month of searching. After 6 rounds and more than 10 outings to the driving range, I'm still struggling with consistency with all parts of my swing. My question is what are my options for lessons in the west end, and what...

So I have put the date tentatively at May 24 & 25. It is the weekend after the holiday weekend. So hopefully this won't conflict with anyone's vacation plans. The venue will once again be Trillium Wood, seeing as how it is a great course and nicely situated between OTT and TO. Now most of you...

i see 7am, 7am, 7am... i'm assuming each one of them is a dif course combo, does anyone know which one is which?

Hey guys, I tried to search around for a thread already on this but surprisingly didn't find one.. anyways...just wondering what good twilight rates or 9 & Dine rates are out there around the city...most of my time to play is weeknights..so looking for lots of information here. I remember in...

Just have to post this :) Personal best--- 84 at Mt Creek---granted not the hardest course and missed my birdie on eighteen by this much!!!! :-)

Looking to book but see both courses are blanked out. No zeros, but blank as if they were not open yet or closed. What's up? Glitch or something more interesting?

I read in the french newspaper today that some of the new owners of the Chateau are planning to convert the hotel into condominiums and to close the golf course to build more condominiums. :thumbsdow One partner is taking the other to court to stop these plans and to continue with the hotel and...

I'm thinking of going here to get fit for a driver. Since its outdoors, and with a launch monitor, I think this would be a good combination. Since they work with the major oem's, I assume they have fitting carts for each, allowing you to hit various drivers in different lofts and shafts. I'd be...

I haven't been in there myself, but I know some business associates that say it's very nice. Of course you know, if you stay there, after the OG team goes home licking their wound they can use the line, "I don't play golf, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night". :lmfao TWoody

Probably a long shot, I know. Does anyone have a GPS I can borrow next weekend? Pick up Thursday or Friday and return Wednesday or Thursday?

No no not that kind of box. Something to ship my putter to Alberta. Anyone out there have anything?

I will stay in Ottawa 4 days for clubfitting course in golfworks. I plan to have 1 or 2 rounds in any short golf course after school. any recommendation? thank you, Jim

Hey all. My 7-year old nephew is going to be in Stittsville for the month of July & his parents are looking for some instruction. A group camp would probably be best. Any suggestions??

Tried their website, but it doesn't seem to be working. Wondering if there are any demos days at any ranges or courses coming up. Thanks!!

Hi all, I wonder if any members here know...I am a new member of RM and have a tee-time booked for 11am today. However I would like to cancel if possible due to the less-then-perfect conditions. I know it is just light rain and I should really still go out but would RM consider this light...

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

ok....after missing a couple of huge short putts yeasterday I need some lessons. I am a good putter most of the time but I can never seem to make anything on really fast greens! Who in Ottawa should I see? or if anyone has any ideas of what I can do that would be great too! thanks!

Good day everyone, I never experience Mixed Golf League & I was wondering if some of you golfers could share your experience. (tips & advice are always good :-) ) I've thought of registering at Anderson Links Golf League for my first time.

hi all going to golf town to buy a putter my budget is $100 any tips thanks

My wife has decided to take up golf. She's been at the range and now would like to get out to a course. Nothing too hard .... I was thinking maybe Metcalfe 9, Raceview or Falcon Ridge. Never played any of them....... looking for suggestions. Thanks Scott

I know this is a stretch, but I'm wondering if anybody has a 2 ball putter I can borrow for the weekend or at least pick up today and return Sunday morning. I would be willing to pay a deposit on it, the current value of the putter, if need be. Thanks

My buddy wants me to play there with him on Saturday but I can't find much on the course. Anyone?

Hi folks, I've been trying to get out for very early rounds the past two weeks, around 6-6:30am, but I found that most courses don't let you out until at least 7am. The only course with 6am times I found so far is Champlain.... Are there any others out there, preferably within 30min drive of...

Is commenting on specific establishments/sale permitted? any criteria?

Have to drop off a very negative note after today's round. With no fore-warning we started our round. The starter said all the greens were in nice shape & the front side was fine. THEN, we discovered 11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18 all had temporary greens out in the fairways. They were re-doing all...

Hi Guys I came to a conclusion that I definitively need some good lessons (either by Pro or one of you if you are willing). On average I shoot about 105 and would like to get way bellow 100. Can you recommend a good instructor who can give me some pointers tia

Hoping to get a round in starting around 1pm today. I'm thinking meadows or manderley. Any feedback on expected pace of play at these courses would be helpful. I can't do a 5 hour round! If both meadows and manderley are usually slow on Fridays, other suggestions within 30 min of downtown...

Can someone please tell me how a Last Minute Membership works... I always usally book last minute and I work evenings, So will a last minute Membership work for me to play like the next day in the am....

Does anyone know of any other demo days coming up? Callaway had a demo day at the Landings last Saturday and I think Cobra will be there on the 22nd. I saw Nike at Amherstview the week before, which I wish I had time to investigate. Anyone know of any others coming up in the area?

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...

Anyone have any news on the sale, or if their opening this year and if so, when? Its 5 minutes from my house so I hope they open as I typically play a few rounds a year there for convenience sake. Cheers,

It’s at Brockville CC. Has anybody every played there? What type of course is it. Greens, fats, small? What type of grass? Fairways wide? Long course? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Mike

For those who care, you get to hit off the grass today (and for the next few days I believe).

have a shaft I need to get to him, anyone from Btown going to see him? How about Ktown? mind taking a shaft with you when you go?? LMK :) thanks

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a club out today and I was just wondering if anyone had an extra box for shipping a club. I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Brian

I have fourteen( 14) 2 for 1 passes for le Sorcier to give away. They are valid till the end of may from monday to thursday. Not valid for tournaments and hollidays. All I ask in return is from one of you to give me a 2 for 1 from the golf show to play Anderson Links. I want to give...

My wife is looking to book a tournament for her work. Anybody have opinions on the best place? Not necessarily the nicest, just the best overall, in the Ottawa cenrtal area.

Steriods??? no... I was checking out glenmar and saw another course behind it and realized it was the canadian. From green to green its 180 yards!! anyone know what holes these are?? The water hole is canadian... looks like 17 but can't be cause 18 comes back the other way.. Did anyone...

Played Garrison yesterday and it was in very decent shape. No water left on the course and very, very limited spots of dead grass. The front 9 had breen topdressed so it was slow and bumpy but overall a good experience this early. The 78 also helped... too bad I can't putt.
