Also, as of tomorrow, they will be aerating greens and tee boxes, however, they are informing all who call before booking, and are offering 1/2 price greens fees this week as a result.
I'm not trying to stir up repition of this forum (as I believe it is 2-3 years old), but I would like to put in my 2 cents that this is a good, challenging course that requires a tight game. It has been in a bit of rough shape, but that is hopefully being addressed by the improved drainage (the snow has been melting, not draining and then mixing with frost to wreek havok on the grass). The greens although not as fast as they used to be are still challenging and quite "fun". Also, you are usually assured a fairly good pace of play as the marshalls do a good job of keeping things moving. Anyway, just my oppinion but I think it is still a great track that we have access to. It is nice to be a bit spoiled as golfers in Ottawa, as we have lots to chose from in lots of price ranges. :)
