Any Manderley Members out there? How is the club from the perspective of being a member. Do they have any weekly skins groups on the go?

I guess this was inevitable with EC going to CL, but I think they may have pushed themselves a bit far with their new pricing: http://www.stonebridgegc.com/golf2a.html $75 prime time...be interesting to see what kind of traffic they see this year. Talk amongst yourselves.....

Hello Everyone Just got back from playing Smuggler's Glen for the first time, WOW! If you haven't gone up there yet, and you aren't a member of some kind of Corporate membership that gets discount, then head up there soon and take advantage of their Spring special.....$59 for golf/cart. ...

Hi All, Not sure if this thread has been done yet, but was wondering what Ottawa course is the best spring "deal" (price + quality)? Looking to play next Friday some place and trying to decide where. Not a really big fan of playing "summer" green fees for "spring" greens. Thanks in...

Hi, would like some info on how satisifed members are with access to their preferred tee times at their member clubs. I'm new to the area and looking for a membership at a club where I can get out between 7:30 and 9:00 on weekends. Any input (for or against) would be appreciated.

Does anyone have a link to this course? I've never heard of it before, no clue where it is and haven't found it on google. Merci!

Sorry if this was already covered, haven't been around much lately. Where's Sorcier? Not on the featured courses list or Reservation Masters anymore???? There go my Monday evening golf plans.

I bought a putter from Disenor and was not able to hook up with his wife to get it when she was in town so I was wondering if anyone was going to Kingston and if so I would make arrangements to get the putter to you. Thanks, Luc

Pick a date you think will be the first day of golf in Ottawa. Winner will recieve a ReservationMasters Full Membership A few simple rules Entry is in this thread only - No emails please All entries must be posted by March 19, 2008 You do not need to pick the course BUT... Only...

Has anyone played St Lawrence University and/or Partridge Run yet this year. I'm looking at a New York State golf jaunt in the next few weeks and I'm wondering about conditions.

From my desk, I have a nice view overlooking the Marshes course. Right now they are out giving the fairways a nice go over, and the pattern is taking shape! Let the distraction start!

Hi Dan --is there a reason for no on-line booking or are we just too early? :-)

Our members now have access to Pineview! OttawaGolf Club

Did anyone get out there today (Wednesday)? I've got a tee off coming up and would love to know the conditions...

I just called to check to see when they would be open and sure enough, they are open today! I knew I should have put the clubs in the car last night.

Has anyone played there yet and if so, what are the conditions like?

I really do. Used to love to visit their stores. Plus I've noticed since Chuck Brown's has been gone, used clubs are not worth what they used to be. Once upon a time, if you could not sell your old sticks for a reasonable price you could always take them in to Chuckie's. They would give you a fair...

Use to get it at Chucks - who sells them now -GT? Thanks

Hey, any opinions on this course? with it opening up i will try it out this weekend, but never played it before. so whatever info you have , much appreciated

When is it opening? Thanks

Pic of the inundated 18th at the Champlain yesterday. IMHO they should leave that pond there to make the finishing hole more challenging:-) <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD id=MainTitle noWrap> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Gatineau Driving Range opens tomorrow at 11AM

Took a little walk around Renfrew today; the greens and tees are superb, likely due to the early removal of snow by the maintenance staff. There is still a little snow on some fairways and in some of the rough in the low lying areas, but no standing water. Word from the shop is an opening planned...

Is the cold weather and the snow making me think I just wasted 4 hours watching the worst Masters in recent memory or was it really that bad???

Had a walk today around several of the holes at our course to see what the turf conditions were like. The bent grass greens and fairways that were bare had no fungus or ice damage whatsoever, while the blue grass rough had a little fungus here and there. Our greens keeper WAS able to spray the...

The team 1200 confirmed with Kevin this afternoon that he will be open tomorrow.

Oak Hills Golf Club in Stirling will be opening 18 holes as of this Saturday April 12th

Should be a lot better than hitting balls at Innes Road. :)

Hello everyone, I'm looking at taking lessons, ideally somewhere in the east end of Ottawa. I'm a beginner so just need a general overview of the basics. I've been looking at Pineview and the Orleans Golf Academy on St. Joseph. Does anyone have any experience with lessons at either...

Is there anyone in the Ottawa area that has a bench machine to adjust Titleist Scotty Cameron Putters? I don't want to have to send it away to SC or to Toronto. Mine is already a cut down SC, so it is not as though I am trying to maintain the authenticity of the putter. But, a big but, I do not...

Anyb ody knows until what time the Innes Rd. Driving range is opened? I stopped by around 6:15 last night and it was closed. Too bad I was sooo looking forward to hitting some balls! Maybe tonight.

So I look outside and see snow. I check the weathernetwork.com and see this. How can they forecast if they can't even get NOW correct. :biting: :wallbash :thumbsdow

Any suggestions of golf courses(central Ottawa) to do a fundraising tournament late August 2008. Again good prices and easy going course(beer,fun,etc...)Thank you

Just looking on the Tremblant site and came across the T-Pack. Gives you two rounds at Le Géant for $99, or add $30 and you can play Diable twice or one of each. Rounds can be played with the following restrictions. * Any time between May 2 and July 11 (Saturday after 12h p.m.) * NEW !...

Woo Hoo Its open today. Going right now to get my back sore:-)

Other than Golftown (ripoff) and Golfworks (don't carry them), does anyone know where else to buy grips in Ottawa? I have small hands and am having a hard time finding the Winn DSi in .580. Anyone? Thanks

With everybody itching to get outside to the ranges lets guess when Kevin Haime, 19th tee and others will open. Usually Kevin is first..............but when.........???

A friend mentioned that there is a golf range in Kingston where one hits from a heated stall to the outside. True? Name?

.I was wondering if anyone on this forum was part of the Slammer Tour. I was at the golf show at the OAC on Sunday and saw them, also stumbled on their website the other day. So if anyone is a member of the Slammer Tour, I'd like to learn abit more about it. Thanks ______________________ I...

Driving through Belleville/Kingston next weekend and was wondering which track would be more worthwhile playing the Saturday morning after a Senators game 5 win...

I'm doing a little (unofficial) market research and would like to hear from the Ottawa Golf membership. I will be redesigning the website for an Ottawa area golf course and would like to hear from local golfers on which golf course sites and features they like the most. I can not disclose...

With another 30 cm today and 10-15 forecasted for Saturday thought it would be a good time to start a poll of when the Ottawa Golf courses will open for the 2008 season........There is a ton of snow out there to melt folks.............:rolleyes

The Spring Openings Calendar is up! http://www.kingstongolf.ca/spring/index.htm The countdown has begun!

While I was at the golf show today I was talking with the staff at Cedar Glen. They told me that they are clearing snow and with the weather forecast the way it looks they are aiming to open in two weeks. It will just be the back nine which always opens and closes first. Let's get it started. bD
