Does anyone know if there are any ranges open still ? Rockliffe and Kevin Haime are closed for the season.... I just called Target and the answering machine says they are open 10am - 8 pm for fall hours...but I find it hard to believe..do they have lights?

I have been looking into several courses in the Ottawa area to get a membership for the 09 season. I visited the Anderson Links site and it did not mention anything about memberships, so I was wondering if anyone knows if they offer memberships? I would assume they don't if they don't even mention...

Does anyone know of a person, place, or organization (i.e. jr golf program) in the Ottawa area that would be interested in some of my 'inventory' of clubs? I have many clubs that instead of selling for $25 here or there, I'd rather take the lot of them to someone who could use them, refurbish...

Has anyone got any information on any local valley golf specials or knowledge if there are any booklets on specials that used to be around a few years ago. EXAMPLE (two for one deals ) or others . Thanks Steve

Anyone know if its open yet?

It was great getting out and the conditions were what we expected. What we didn't appreciate was being told that the GPS wasn't working when I booked the tee times a week in advance. Didn't tell us when we called 2 days ahead to confirm my tee time. Didn't tell me when we got to the course. The...

Is it worth getting? Anyone have it and can shed some insight if it would be worth while buying. Heard there is a lot of deals in there. I am more only interested in saving money on playing. Not equipment.

Does anyone know of the best or a better golf course in the Saint sauver area? My wife are planning a golf/shopping trip out there and would like to golf a high end course. Even in St. Jerome could be a choice too.

I think tomorrow is the deadline, did everyone sign up? It may not be full this year due to the $199 fee. I know there is only about 4 of us this year from our club as opposed to the usual 6-7. The top 8 get there entry paid, I know Koskie won but who's the other 7 lucky people?

Bridgestone free golf ball fitting-June 19th At The golfworks on Industrial You got to sign up though. Unfortunately they are not set up for lefties.

Who's playing tomorrow? What condition is the course in, greens -fairways etc? The OVGA office told me there are only 3 spots to get into the Tunis:( ............hmmm whats with that???:thumbsdow Joe

FYI - Just read in the paper that T&L has 2 for 1 regripping promotion now

Have heard good things about this course. Can anyone advise?

Would anyone have the Rating and Slope at Manderley? Need to put in a handicap score and my home club doesn't have the numbers. Thanks

Anyone play the Falcon in Hudson near Montreal lately or the Hawksberry Golf club.Condition of greens and fairways would be appreciated. Thank you Marc

HI booked tee times this wk-end at dragonfly.it will be my first time out there what should i expect condition,difficulty,layout hope it's worth the drive i just stay 5 minutes from le sorcier which is one of my favorite. thank's. P.S. this forum is so awesome get tons of info here.

Hello, I tried calling the pro-shop but the girl didn't know what I was asking. Has anyone played Cloverdale recently (past couple of days). I'm wondering if the greens have been recently aerated. thanks!

hi. i'm playing the sorcier on sunday at 12:30pm. I'm looking for coupons, 2 for 1, or a pass or something

Anyone hear the results from yesterday (Monday) from Eagle Creek? Did Graham Gunn win? :not-worth

The leaders were just teeing off when the horn blew around 1pm today. I believe the 3rd round results are essentially the final results. I was +8 through 12 holes. The course was extremely wet when we teed off. After some on and off rain for the first 6-7 holes it was worse. After another 5...

I have a tee time there on Saturday, anyone know the condition of the course? Is it challenging, etc? Does it drain well? Thanks

Had the pleasure of playing Glen Mar for the first time yesterday. Very nice golf track.:thumbsup

hey, just wondering if you guys know of courses around the area (roughly 2 hours or so from ottawa/gatineau) that offer a good stay and play deal. the plan is for me and my buddy to play a round or two over a 2 day span while the wives are entertained otherwise.. montpellier is an option for...

Can anyone let me know the conditions at Hammond as I am playing there this Sunday

I read the thread regarding aeration of Loch March. But how is the rest of the course. I have never played there and was invited to play in a Charity Golf tournament there on Tuesday. I heard it is pretty tight. Does it compare to anything else in the area? Visited the link...

Booked there for tomorrow. What kind of shape is the course in? Never played it but have heard good things in the past.

While playing in the OVGA Captain's Scramble yesterday at Cedarhill GC, foddz holed out his perfectly struck iron shot from 117 yards on #1 for a timely eagle. Perhaps his next hole out will have had a tee under it.

Hey Chris is this yours? http://www.theweathernetwork.com/your_weather/details/620/1557874/5/caon0512?ref=ugc_city_thumbs

Anyone play lately? Thinking about getting out this weekend.

I recently moved to Ottawa (Trainyards area), and I'm looking to find an outdoor driving range that offers memberships. I checked a few websites, and found out that I can purchase a membership, however, I still have to pay a small fee for each buckets. I'm looking for a range that's less than 30...

Hi, Not sure how many people this affects. but..... Golf HD was part of the HD Speciality Pack with Rogers. In the past you needed to subscribe to at least the VIP package and then the HD Specialty Pack. For guys like me with just basic cable, I couldn't get the Golf Channel before...

Thought I would check it out yesterday. About as good as could be expected for this time of year but I do have problem with the discrimination of lefties. All of the heaters face the front for the righties, while lefties are subjected to the heaters beeing at our backs wich is not very effective. I...

The Golfland driving range is open on Innis road. Just got back from my first bucket of the year. They will be open all weekend.

Our course is opening Friday.Yahoo!!!!!! :)

Anyone get out there yet?

What course should I get a junior membership at? Falcon Ridge or Emerald Links?

I drove by this course the other day and had a little walk around the club, looks great!! I am looking forward to playing this track. On a sour note I think $70 green fee (weekends) is a little ambitious and $55 (weekday) is a little better. Its still a bit of a drive from the city and at that...

Hey im looking for a range around the west end that has a nice area to practice my short game. Would anyone know of one?? Thanks.

Guys, Our CO is moving on (I'm military) and I am looking at organizing a golf tourney for his going away present. I'm looking at ~20 people or so, and would ideally like to have it near his home out by Vars. I see that Greyhawk is out that way, but it's a private course. :irked: ...

Does anyone know of any clubs offering Couples or Family nights? A buddy and his wife want to get out for some golf and a social. Cheers,

Greens on the Championship course overall were poor. All grass, but obvious repairs, bumpy, shaggy and some had still to recover from punching/sanding. Fairways were rock hard, as were the greens. I had thought this course was coming up but since I last played in 2008 it seems to have stalled if...

Hi. I'm pretty new to the golfing scene and would like to practice as much as I can. There has to be a better deal then spending $10 each time I go to the driving range. I've looked and have not been able to find any information about memberships. Does anyone know what driving range in the...

hey, im a junior golfer from Deep River(a small town near Pembroke) and im looking to play in some more competitive tournaments. From what ive gathered, the OVGA and the ottawa cpga are the two biggest junior "tours" around. I already signed up for the ottawa cpga one, and i was wondering if it...

thanks!

Apologies if this has been asked and answered somewhere else, but why does the score card at Chateau Cartier have a slope and rating, but the course does not show up on the RCGA handicapping system? Thanks in advance.

looking to get some lessons - nothing major - anyone had a good experience and can refer - ideally in the east end. cheers,

Can someone please explain to me why Edelweiss is charging weekend/holiday rates for Monday when it is not a holiday in Quebec? :thumbsdow None of the Ontario courses were charging weekend/Holiday rates for St-Jean baptist.
