I'm looking to join a men's league this year, any suggestions? Is it worth joining a league? I don't really have time to make use of a full membership, but I can commit to 1 night a week. TIA

Good news for players using Red/Green tee box. They are moving it to other side of fairway so now instead of using a lower club to get over the trees and almost impossible to get A par. You will be able to use your driver down the fairway. I heard should be ready maybe in July.

Hey guys and gals! Just moved back to the area from living in Vancouver for 4 years. I was a Clublink member when I was living here last but now we’re in Barrhaven and nothing is really close. Considering the hunt and Rideau view right now. Any other courses I should put on my list? ...

i will be in the area for May long weekend and decided to participate in an OGA tourney. Any insight into playing this course? is practice round allowed for nonmember? any help is greatly appreciated. thx. Manny

Anyone ever had lessons with him? Can't seem to find any reviews online. Pineview is nicely located for me but I'm debating if I should just make a longer drive to Kanata. Some feedback on him would be helpful.

Didn’t see him at KH range yesterday and now I see he isn’t even listed on their website any longer under the instructors page. Has he moved to another local course or range? Maybe he has moved away? He’s a good guy- good instructor too.

Does anyone know if golftown accepts a trade in of a club with a broken shaft? Thanks

Radar Rob at Metcalfe Golf Club is predicting April 19th as opening day, nice to look forward to today after a nice dump of snow yesterday https://www.facebook.com/metcalfegolf/videos/10156538528847971/

Prescott Golf Course opening April 12th

How do I turn off the "Winter Storm Warning" notifications I keep getting from the Weather Network on my phone? I think I'm just bitter, looks like we might be golfing by the May long weekend at this point.

I know it is cold but wondering if any short game areas have opened as of yet?

I'm looking for suggestions on a good PGA instructor to go with this year. I searched through the forum and the best I could find was a posting from 2012. I figured quite a bit has changed over the years so I wanted to get an updated list of instructors that are good for 1-on-1 private lessons. ...

Is this an annual golf show like other cities have? I've been to the Toronto golf show once, and London's a few times including last weekend (https://www.westernfairdistrict.com/ldngolfshow), but I've never been to one in Ottawa. Is anyone else going, or is this going to be worth going to? Given...

Who has the best simulator tech in Ottawa to go play some indoor golf? Been to Golf-O-Max and Mulligan's but just wondering if there are other options with more advanced technology.

Is there anybody out there living in the Barrhaven area willing/able to get my son to/from practice? PM for more information, details and to discuss. Thanks.

I just became a member at the Carleton Golf & Yacht Club. I'm already jonesing for the golf season to start. Been buying new gear, cleaning and regripping my clubs. Just a little excited!! 😀

when the "live" part says "blackout". Is there anywhere on the internet that will take my money to stream PGA Tour events to Canada? sheesh...

I was playing Premiere #6 and had just hit my second to the 100yd marker and was walking along edge left edge of fairway when a ball suddenly flew into my face right between the eyes. Knocked me out and down for a second or two and put a nice gash between my eyebrows. The guy who hit it from the #8...

Anyone know if Kevin Haimes is open yet? Thanks.

The forum was sorely missed, thank you Dan! I for one really appreciate seeing you back in business :thumbsup

Hi guys, I'm looking for members opinions on Manderley. I moved to Barrhaven and am looking at a membership there. Can anyone give me an idea to member base size, men's leagues, food menu, course conditions(haven't played there in years), the tee times availablity due to tournaments etc. I am...

I can't believe the Dome isn't open today....

Perhaps this has been mentioned in part already, but it deserves to be said again... And as we approach the end of the year, I wanted take the opportunity to thank Ottawa Golf for its presence in the golf community. I rely on this Forum and the people on it for allowing me access to golf insight,...

Any courses still open?

Hello Everyone, How are local courses coping with all the rain we've been receiving? Which ones are fine and which ones are waterlogged? Thanks John

I'd like to bring my kids to hit some balls. Not interested in a simulator. Any indoor drop-ins available on the weekends? I know the Ben Franklin Dome is only open weekdays.

Chatting with a guy st the local car wash yesterday..he is an avid golfer and heard from members from gatineau that the back 9 had been sold or up for sale..geez hope not

I guess I will get the ball rolling this year. Played Raceview today in the beautiful sunshine. Course was dry as expected, with the only casual water occurring on #2 and #7 where the water hazards overflowed their normal margins (no water on the fairways though). Greens were a little shaggy as...

Thanks for your input

Around August 1, Mississippi came out with a promo, pay for next year and the rest of this year is free. I was wondering for those that took advantage of this, how they felt about the course, conditions, etc. They also had a special for first time members of a discount of $200 for only the first...

I am seriously considering getting a family membership at a club. Wife now plays more than me and I want my son (14) to pick up the game too. A private club would be preferred but don't want the expense of the Hunt/Royal Ottawa/Club link/ We live on the West-End (Algonquin area) so a max drive...

Self explanatory. I know that Cascades did at one time - not sure if they still do. Any others?

Just wondering if anyone has played Pineview Recently. I haven't played in years but have a tee time Tomorrow. What kind of shape is the Championship course in With all the rain we have had

Played it this week , what a treat, just beautiful and in excellent shape.

I just met Brooke at Golftown and all I can say is she is the Nicest person you could meet. She is a sweet young girl.

Looking to join a golf club for men's night only. Any recommendations?

$12 for 18 holes including power cart at Upper Canada tomorrow afternoon at 3:07. I don't think I've seen a better deal this year. Haven't played UC this year but it's usually in good shape. I can't go but I'm hoping someone else jumps on this deal

was wondering if anyone knew the reasoning for #8 at Stonebridge playing 406 from the gold tees and 370 from the blues? I can't recall another course that would have a 3rd level tee set with a hole further back than the 2nd level tee? I have also seen #15 at Marshes playing shorter from the blues...

You can watch Professional Golfers from the McKenzie/PGA Tour Canada playing today and tomorrow (Aug. 19 & 20) at The Hylands Golf & Country Club in Ottawa. According to the Tournament website... "This year’s proceeds will benefit Soldier On, a Canadian Armed Forces program that supports...

Anyone know of its current course conditions? Playing there friday and would like to know. Thanks

Likely left it on back of truck before taking off from Greensmere Monday. If found, please return to Greensmere or pm me. I'll offer a round at Greensmere on me as reward. Watch is useless to anyone else as charger is unique and watch has been reported lost to SkyCaddie and disconnected from...
