Good practice facilities?
New to Ottawa and living downtown. Looking for somewhere to go practice during the week thats close and has a good setup. Any recommendations?

I would say Falcon Ridge on Albion Road is very good value, not far from downtown via the Airport Parkway, and it has two large putting greens, a chipping/bunker practice green, and both matt and grass hitting areas that you can use any club to hit out onto their large driving range. Having said that, if they would replace the very tired green carpets on the hitting matts, and add even a little sand to that practice bunker, I think that would qualify Falcon Ridge's practice facilities as being quite good.
And, I should mention, over the winter, Falcon Ridge's two HD indoor golf simulators are really good.Last edited by MarcArt; 04-27-2017 at 01:59 PM.

Are there any ranges in the area that are allowing hitting off the grass yet? Seems like everywhere still has "Mats only" in place.

BTW the closest range to downtown is actually in Gatineau just off Highway 50 at the Rue Saint-Louis exit just after you cross the Gatineau River. Nothing fancy but a decent range to hit a few balls.
