I'm ready to start from scratch. I'm 56 years old and my my best game after 4 years is a 92 at Cloverdale. I would like to get into the 80's this year. I can put it about 200 yards on the fairway and usually get into trouble on my my second and third shots and often 3 putt. If you were to give some...

Are there certain courses that rarely sell out of their allotted greens fee spaces? Are there certain courses that always sell out immediately? Could certain courses be dropped in order to get more memberships at popular courses? Just curious...

Check out the front page of the Ottawa Citizen today (Sunday the 5th). It seems employees of MDS Nordion have the line on a ball that will go farther. Come on now, I'd like to try one of these balls, any employees out really notice the different or a great marketing ploy.:confused

Has anyone played this course. What's it like, it's so beautiful up in the valley. I see from there website they're opening another 9 in May 2003.

Dan, any word on when local clubs are closing, in particular Emerald Links?

Greensmere was wide open today and quite busy, too. Only one green was snow covered this afternoon, and the rest were putting very well. Cost is only $20. No tee times were being booked, but few apparently had to wait more than 15 minutes. Our sixsome played in 3:50 and the threesome behind...

Played Greyhawk today, Saturday. The course was in fabulous shape, expecially the greens - not aerated and very puttable. At $25 this is a real bargain for all you diehards who want to keep playing until the snow drives us off the courses.

Timber Run will be closing Mon Nov 4 for the season. They are running a special for the last weekend $12.50 for 18 holes

Fine tuning is almost complete, another couple of weeks should do it. Before I do the planting I'd like some local players to beta test the course. To qualify you need: -Links 2003 -Must be familiar with Stonebridge's layout and greens Agree to: - NDA (Non-diclosure agreement) Course file...

As the season draws to a close :( I would like to raise a glass to Dan and Steve for their great work on this website. It's been my home page at work and home for over a year now and I can't start a day without checking the Forums,Weather and the Course availabilities for OGC members. You have...

I saw the Weekend Duffers tv show last night. Has anyone else had about enough of Kevin Haime? He is so full of himself it is nauseating. I wanted to watch the show, but switched it off after Kevin's rambling about his perfect golf upbringing and how he's a "big fish in a small pond" here in...

Well, I have to tell you all, my good buddy, and pard, reached a MAJOR milestone today. Steve shot a sparkling 71 par round at Manderley, from the white tees. I only wish I had been there to witness it, but I did see the attested scorecard :bigcheek To my great friend... Three cheers for a...

Manderley on the Green.........appreciation day! Hey guys...... We recieved a fax from Manderley, iniviting us back for an appriciation day tournament for holding the OttawaGolf Open at their course. We need minimum 16- 20 players for this event. Fax read..........."In aprreciation for you...

Now that we are entering the fall golf season, I thought it would be helpful to be informed as to the course conditions around Ottawa. As we all know, courses are always being improved, but to do so, sometimes means work being done while we play. Although Cloverdale is in great shape as usual,...

I played in last Thursday's Survivor Challenge at Greensmere. All I have to say is without a doubt, the nicest greens I have played on for under $50!!! The actual tournament was 36 holes, with cart and dinner for $100. Had a blast, front nine was played as alternate shot, the back was best-ball,...

I'd like to welcome Royal Papineau Golf Course to the OttawaGolf Featured Courses. Royal Papineau is a beautiful course in Notre Dame De La Sallete, about 1 hour's drive north of Ottawa. It is about 20 minutes past Buckingham Que. I went up to photograph the course last weekend, and found...

As the golf season draws to an end :crying, it would be a good idea to share any information you have concerning when golf courses you know are closing. Eagle Creek is apparently closing Thanksgiving. If you know of other closing dates of other courses, please pass it along. :mecry

Has anybody played this course recently ?? I'm looking at going soon...let me know asap ! PM me ! Thanks ROB

Played The Marshes on Friday afternoon and the only thing I have to say is GO. What a great course, and with the $25.00 coupon they give you it is the best deal in town right now. The course is in excellent shape. The GPS in the golf carts is great. How far to carry the water, distance to the front...

It arrived today - not a beta, but the final. It won't be long now until it will be in the stores I'm sure. Shipping date is Sept 19, 2002 I played a few holes on most of the courses that came with it, to look at the scenery, new textures and texture seams, and it really is a step up from 2001....

I heard this morning that the Club house at Amberwood was destroyed by a fire this weekend. Anybody has more on the subject? I wonder who will pick up the tab. Of course the insurance will but will the members chip in for a little bit more? Is that going to affect the daily fees for next year?...

Polo Ralph Lauren Golf Series at Greensmere Friday Sept 13th - Great gift bag - Valuable Prizes including; A year lease on a Volvo S80T6 for the first hole in one on #12 A trip to Bermuda many other prizes! Greensmere members $10 (goes to CHEO) All others $48 ($10 goes to CHEO)

what are some of the better deals around after 4pm on weekdays, for either 9 or 18???:confused

Heard that Cedarhill has been sold for a reported $3,000,000. Anyone know any further details.

Just to let everyone know. On Sundays and Mondays after 4pm you can play Nine holes and have a really nice dinner for $50. At least this would be an affordable way to play The Marshes.

Some of you have reported errors on this site over the last couple of days. The reason we are experiencing these problems is that OttawGolf has been moved to a new, faster better stronger server at Travel-net.com The move unfortunately has not been as seamless as we hoped, and there are still a...

Played the new nine at Emerald Links yesterday and it was worth it. Fairways and greens are in great shape. It is a lot more wide open than the other nines, but still some interesting holes. No real silly holes either. There is a little more water to contend with, lost one ball in it because I...
