What are the top 10 public courses in ottawa area

List your top 10 public courses in Ottawa area in terms of best greens to play on don’t factor in the price

eQuinelle and Loch March are at the top. Stonebridge was, the new changes are TBD. After that I would say Rockland and Sorcier.

I would rank the following courses as having the best greens within about an hour's drive from Ottawa:

1 Equinelle
2 Loch March
3 Marshes
4 Canadian
5 Greensmere
6 Hawkesbury
7 Upper Canada
8 Smiths Falls
9 Perth
10 Rockland

Just went to Loch March and thought it was amazing not sure if anything can top that! I’ll def be going back

solid list , Cassleview , condition wise , should be in there over Perth IMO. Renfrew is also a 8-10 candidate

I haven't played all of these courses this year, but generally for greens/overall course:
Equinelle
Rockland
Greensmere
Loch March
Dragonfly
Sorcier
Buckingham
Mississippi
Emerald Links
Marshes

I've left out Perth, Smiths falls, Montebello since they're borderline 1 hour depending but easily in top 10 otherwise

Whitetail, if you want to drive up to the valley , it's the best in that area , but Dragonfly last year was great condition

Good list and I would concur :-)

I would have to disagree with Sorcier, based on years past, they are slow and a little on the shaggy side as they have little water on the course. Much better greens out there than Sorcier.

I would say top 5 are:

1. Equinelle
2. Loch March
3. Rockland
4. Hawkesbury
5. Greensmere
