Several states have kept courses open and some are allowing them to open this week. What would it take to get you onto a golf course ?

Does anyone know any areas around the city where one could bring a bucket of balls and hit some wedge shots ... a bit beyond that backyard distances?

Just curious... While scrolling around Google Maps, I noticed Amberwood has an equivalent amount of vacant property beside the golf course. Was there ever a time when 18 holes were being considered? Do they own the property?

How are you all doing? Hope all of you are making the best of this situation. Staying positive and watching less tv news and going for walks outside helps. Spring is finally here and we may get to play golf soon.

Timber Banks in Baldwinsville just before Syracuse is now open!!!! https://timberbanks.com/ WHO'S READY TO GOLF? We are now OPEN for play and look forward to seeing you at Timber Banks Country Club.

He tweeted they will be open tomorrow morning.

Just wondering if anyone went? What were your thoughts?

What work were they completing?They was on their website. Please note: The Front Nine will be closing for the 2020 season on Tuesday October 13th, 2020 to begin reconstruction of the golf course.

I receive the emails from Malone but must have missed the one that provided information on the clubhouse getting damaged. Repairs are well under way but I was just curious if anyone here knew what caused the damage?

Golftown east was crazy this am, TM M6 and Project balls were in everybody's hands.

Hey, Forecast looks promising for Monday and Tuesday if you know any course that is still open or will re-open let me know. Champlain? Kingsway? Vieux-Moulin I'll play anything to get at least one last round in :)

Hey guys---need a smile?--check out NISSAN GOLF BALL Just goggle--I am not sure how to add the video--I may be late on this but !!! :-)

Is management doing a course closings page ?

Hey guys, have there been any talk of when GT will be holding their annual demo sale, it was the first weekend in Nov last year?

In case you haven't seen his videos, look up Andrew Jensen, who is from Ottawa and doing good work both in his professional golf life, and in the videos he produces. Hey Andrew, give us here on Ottawa Golf a shout out too!

I played Nation Sunday may 5th lots of bad spots on fair ways and greens, fairly dry overall. Played Metcalfe 9 May 8th and a lot of winter kill on the fairways and greens, fairly dry overall.

Just wanted to express our gratitude to one of the marshalls we had the pleasure of playing with last Wednesday. Our friend playing with us is not doing well and Dave (if i may use his name) helped him get around the course and encouraged him all the way. Thank you and hope to meet up again for...

Well if you plan on going make sure you don't pay full price.Played today with a deal on chronogolf and it was sad condition,5 and 6 basically unplayable and most greens rough and many tee boxes mostly dirt and weeds..

Does anyone know of any Ping Demo days coming up in the Ottawa region? Interested in trying out the g410 hybrid. Thanks, Dave

Has anyone played Royal Laurentian this year? I have tried to get condition reports but only found so-so on Trip Advisor and Expedia.

I don’t get around to many courses anymore but here is the review of what I’ve played this season; Ottawa Hunt is in excellent condition. Layout has improved with the recent renovations but there are only a couple truly memorable holes. But the conditions are top 10 in the country equivalent to...

Golfed with a buddy that had been to the range on Mer Bleue in Orleans and he stated that they will close.

I heard last year that Le Geant and Le Diable at Mont Tremblant were in rough shape. Does anyone know how the courses are looking this year (spring 2019)?

Hi all - just looking for people's thoughts on where I can best figure out my iron distances. Like, I love White Sands, but a few flags out in the field just make it impossible to judge what I'm actually hitting. Related, how accurate are simulators? Is that a good place to do it? Thanks.

I'm moving back to the city and yse to be with corporate golf. Looks like things have changed. Is the new program any good? Any competitors?

Hey, hope everyone is having a great season, most places should be in their peak conditions at this point in the year. For after work rounds of golf, does anyone have recommendations for places? I know Chateau Cartier is $20 after 6, same with Champlain, but those course get old quick and...

Post your division results here. This has always been the highlight of the golfing calendar for me.

So I’m at the Golf Expo yesterday and like many of you, I came across the Rolling Greens golf club booth which is touting itself as Canada’s first marijuana-friendly golf course. I had a little chuckle to myself and carried on with my day. After a little time to reflect I have a few thoughts as a...

Was just wondering if this promotion will be happening again this year.

Played yesterday early morning..after hearing they had re opened the holes along the river that flooded we decided to chance it...overall the course is very nice but holes # 5 and 6 were as we expected rather pitiful to say the least..there were no greens or fairways just bare earth and mud but...

Anyone know of its overall conditions

Hello everyone, I took a newbie out for 9 on Friday night at Larrimac. Got me to thinking - what are your choices for easiest courses in the region? For me, I am pretty big fan of Anderson for my game as it's fairly open and flat. However, I am not sure if I'd characterize it as...

My wife and I just had a really bad experience at Stonebridge today. The cart rule is drive in the rough and on #6 Janice hit her drive near the fairway bunker. She has a mobility problem and was hurting from walking most of #5 so I crossed the fairway to get her closer to her ball. In the group...

Come down and check us out at 3686 Navan road we have a 9 hole golf course Driving range with a grass side with a beautiful putting green and two sand bunkers were you can practice & a beautiful miniputt with beautiful water falls a must see check out our site merbleuegolf.ca

As the title says. Management claims to have only covered 6 greens this winter - blaming unpredictable fall weather for not being able to finish. A lot of hearsay going around, but some think the greens are in worse shape than we are being told, could be gone for the season. Sad to see...

What are your favourites and why?

What are some of the courses that have a membership going to do for their members. Stonebridge (only 9 holes 4 temps, next week 18 holes 9 temp greens). Lowering green fees doesn't do anything for the members who paid up front???? What can they do to help them?

There were articles posted at Inside Ottawa Valley website in March and April about the new owner of Sand Point (Arnprior) that talks about his plans for the course. ...

I drive by Rivermead daily and never played it unfortunately but it looks pristine.They work hard end of season to get it prepped so it obviously pays off.If this last winter is a sign of things to come all courses better shape up.Myself since I am retired will extend this golf season with a late...

Hey all, I definitely don't want to start an open thread about where to play golf around Toronto. But, I am travelling for work in a few weeks and am going to play a round at either Black Diamond or Oakridge. Has anyone played both, either? Trying to decide between the two. Thanks in...

Any update on this course,never played it but think I should give it a go..probably only one I have yet to play

Has anyone else noticed if their 2018 round entries in the OttawaGolf handicap system have disappeared? All mine seem to be missing, with my last round in 2017 being the latest entry :sulkoff - Mr. Chi
