Just wanted everyone to know before they waste a trip out there like i did.

Anybody know if I will be able to use a range finder during intersectionals??

....and oh yeah "Happy Festivus" to everyone! It's a Festivus Miracle! :party

Ok. One month today we leave for Florida. Unlike last year, I would like get out and hit balls 3 or 4 times before we leave. Now that there is no golf dome at Lansdowne, I was wondering if there is anywhere you can go and hit a bucket or two. (besides playing a round on a simulator) Or do I have to...

I remember seeing last year a long drive competition in the Ottawa area. I missed it last year and wanted to get there this year, but I haven't seen any postings for it. Does anyone know if there is a long drive this year near Ottawa? Cheers Paul

Does anyone know which courses offer a free round on a player's birthday these days? I think Cascades used to - not sure anymore. Thanks.

Did anyone else play today? I braved the forecast and teed off at 9:30. Light rain for the first hole and a bit and then nothing. The sun even came out for a few minutes. But holy cow was it muggy. Thank god it was cloudy or I would have been a puddle in my shoes. When I finished my round the...

Looking at the Score top 100 courses in Canada list for 2020 from a local Ottawa view 42 Hunt 68 Lemaitre 74 Royal Ottawa 85 Eagle Creek 90 Camelot In my opinion Camelot should be much higher +5 or more, Royal and Lemaitre a bit lower and Eagle a bit higher?

I've never played "yet", but this course from the tour on this site looks amazing and all for $30 during the week. What are peoples impressions on this course.:wave

Lost my Titilest 714 Ap1 PW at Pineview golf course last Sunday.Anyone come across it,I would appreciate you dropping it off at pro shop or send me a note Thank- you

We were invited to play in a annual corporate golf event last Friday at Pineview. It was my first time at this course. I really enjoyed it. The staff were fantastic, the course layout and conditions were very good. Hopefully they make this their new home. Thanks again Pineview.

I am looking for a decent and clean Bread and Breakfeast near one of the nicer courses in the Kingston area. I know of McIntosh near Upper Canada but is is a drive from the Correctional Facilities in Kingston. I laike to tag a game of golf to some of my business trips when the schedule allows,...

Played it for the first time today...definitely not the last! That course is incredible! Very challenging off the tee, extremely creative use of the terrain, and the greens were running 10.5! Wow! Just a question though, I went to enter the round in the program here and I couldnt find...

Hey just wondering what the conditions are like at Calabogie currently. Anyone played it recently? Or Dragonfly?

While on the site today I noticed that this course (Richmond Centennial Golf Club) was fairly close to where I live and seemed to have decent greens fee's (last years rates on their website) I was wondering if anyone has played the course and how it was? The memberships there look fairly...

Anyone been to Kevin Haime's lately to find the scoop on what his winter drivinig range will consist of? I haven't driven by, but I assume its hitting into nets, and he's not paying kids to go find little white balls in the snow on the range?

Anyone played this course? It is 9 holes but has different sets of tees I am told. I would like to play in the spring.

I am sure there are many opinions out there as to where the best practice facility is in the area to keep your game in shape throughout our LOOOOOOONG winters here......so lets hear em............

I used to hate the wind. Any day I would be golfing, I'd get up in the morning, look out the window at the trees and say "OH wonderful, gale force winds today. Not going to be a good round" And yesterday, before I teed of at Stonebridge, I said the same thing. I don't think I've ever seen...

Anyone play this course yet, down in the 1000 Islands? Opinions? Think it just opened a couple of weeks ago. Plan on getting down at least once this year.

I am traveling in Alabama this week on business. I came straight from a golf weekend in Niagara/Hamilton with my buddies, so of course I have my clubs. I have an afternoon flight out, and after a couple of appointments in the morning, my co-worker and I decide to try one of the Robert Trent Jones...

I am one of many I am sure who live in Ontario and work in Quebec, and have Wednesday off "St. Jean Bapiste". My plan is to head out and play golf that day somewhere on the Ontario side. Someone told me that we might get charged holiday rates in Ontario too on Wednesday. Any truth to this?

It was cold, it was windy, it was like hitting a brick, it was GREAT:-)

Projected opening date Thursday, April 19.

Anyone been out to either of these courses in the past little while? Thinking of getting out to one this weekend.

Hi All, So it looks like I am going to be a member at ClubLink, I will be joining Hautes Plaines after confirming a couple of things over the phone this coming Monday. I am so excited to be finally joining after think about toying with the idea last year. I actually live in the East end and...

My 12 year old wants to play golf and I am looking for a decent and decently priced golf camp or school to send him to. And if he he likes I would want to put him into a Jr golf league for beginners. Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good winter golf school? I live and work in Kanata. Cheers Mike

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.

Just received e-mail that Artisan Golf business is for sale? Wow. !!

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...

Playing there next for my first time, anyone played it recently? I'm assuming it's in kickass shape.

Were less than a month away (hopefully) from bangin some balls, who has the best driving range? I live in Ottawa South but like to hit Kevin Haime's but they rarely let you hit off the grass so I trek on down to the 19th tee, always lots of room and plenty of grass. Do you think the yardage...

Looking for some feedback from people who have played the Renfrew course. Playing there on Sunday and would appreciate any comments on the course. Long? short? narrow? hilly?

This morning while driving into work, I noticed some suspicious looking white powder lightly sprinkled on the lawn outside my building.:wallbash :wallbash :wallbash Is this a sign of the apocalypse? What could it mean?:eek: :book

Over on TGN, they're saying that GTA Nevada Bob's stores have EVERYTHING (except for the Ping G10 line?) on sale 50% off or more. We're talking 22 dollar dozens of Callaway HX Tours! Can anyone confirm if the Orleans store is running the same promotion?

Well I played there in late May, many of the new holes were being worked on and the new layout was not yet quite complete. The greens were also still in recovery and I was a little disappointed in the conditions. Well what a difference a month made. The greens were receptive and pretty quick...
