Manotick On the Green driving range
Anyone know if they are open or perhaps out of business? No website, and phone calls are unanswered (no voicemail/answering machine). Thanks

Likely closed.
Their Nepean location was the same (no phone or website). Drove by recently and was locked up.

Thanks for this. When you refer to Nepean location, what range are you referring to?

"On The Green Driving Range" - on Jockvale Rd.
I figured they were same ownership as they have the same name as the range you referenced, but I could be wrong.

Sad....having a driving range right in the middle of Barrhaven (used to be the outskirts) was great, but it was only a matter of time before they cashed out to one of the many developers who've been frothing at the mouth for ages. I assume that's the case and/or the Covid situation probably pushed them over the edge...

I could be mistaken but I thought I had heard it was due to an inability of sanitizing the golf balls and other general COVID restrictions. I was under the impression they just “did not open” as opposed to closing permanently. I tried to find a reference but could not so take that with a grain of salt.

I hope you're right and it's as simple as that. I've driven by a few times but there doesn't seem to be any such sign to indicate they're closed due to Covid-19 restrictions.....they're just chained up.

Not sure the sanitizing golf balls is the issue(for the Barrhaven one). Their ball dispenser was also a washer as the balls would come out damp some time wet on busy days. The range has been going down hill for years. When I first moved to barrhaven many years ago the mini putt was in great shape but the lack of maintenance made people stop going there for the putting. The one on Mitchowens I've never been to but isn't the restaurant owner the same person who owns the driving range?
