Like i stated a few days ago, Buckingham greens have been crosscut making them a bit hard to put but, they will be okey within a week. The rest of the course is in good shape.

Want to play a couple of courses in Renfrew area....which ones? Thanks!

Why is it so difficult for some courses to give a heads up on aeration..Dragonfly always has it up.on their website kudos to them..however I called Pakenham and a clueless employee did not know if they were doing them this week .I have a tee time Wednesday and don't like surprises when I show up....

Played equinelle yesterday. The course is top notch from tee box to greens. Incredible condition.

Going to visit a friend in the Glengarry area, hoping to get some good suggestions on which course is good between Ottawa and Glengarry (preferably closer to Ottawa lol). Thanks in advance!

Eagle Creek & The Commissionaires Ottawa Open. With the upcoming Canadian PGA event at Eagle Creek from July 17 to the 23rd, a worthy event called The Commissionaires' Ottawa Open, the benefits of which goes to support the Military's* "Soldier On" campaign... "Soldier On is a program of the...

Anybody played there recently, years ago it was a real good course, new owner with not much money brought it down big time. Last year I booked a tee times they overcharged me at the course, had a hard time to get my money back and only 2 fairways had green grass on them.

Any update on course conditions lately

If your thinking of crossing over to Ottawa today, 3 of the 5 bridges will be closed. I am thrilled about it !!!! LOL Happy Canada day eh !!!!

Just read this about two golfers hit by lightning yesterday. It seems that its around the Lock March course but not 100% sure. Hits home as we all have been caught on a course during a storm. Hopefully they recover.

What a turn around from his first round, tied for 120 after the round on Thursday and then played 20 under for the next three days and a 72’ EAGLE to win it all. Congrats and another great boost for CANADIAN golf.

Had the privilege and honour of watching Mr. Longtee two hop his tee shot from 160 into the bottom of the cup on the 4th hole at Champlain yesterday for an amazing ace!!!

I guess if you have minor health issues its best to cancel your golf game for a few days until the air air quality improves. Kind of scary looking outside right now. Keeping all windows and doors closed is s good idea. Be safe folks.

Heads up... While playing 18 holes today, my son was pulled off the course on hole 14 with his cart at 7:30 because the back shop says they need to wash the carts. Why would a course sell you a cart for 18 holes at 4:00pm, but then send the marshalls to pull you off. That is the strangest golf...

Hey, I am looking for a box to ship a driver, and was wondering if anyone has one they don't need anymore. Can you just ask at golftown for one, never asked before, and if they would give one. Thanks.

Went to Golflogics on Saturday afternoon to get my set of clubs re grip. John provided excellent service, recommended a new grip and it was installed in a professional way, picked the clubs up Sunday morning around 10.00. Went to driving range yesterday, hit a bucket and what a nice feel with the...

I'm looking to have the lie angle on a set of irons adjusted. Does anyone have any recommendations in Ottawa?

Hello fellow crazy golfers! Mike Raganold called me the other morning and asked me if I would post here in the forum. I would like to thank Mike for the nice conversation that morning. The repair centre is now up and running and getting pretty busy. The name is getting out there and the...

Hello, I am headed out to Equinelle on Friday. Is their Range still limited in distance such that use of Drivers and Fairway Woods aren't allowed? Thank you... Bonne chance à tous dans vos exploits de golf cet été.

Here is a review of the course and spring conditions at Mapleview, for April 22nd. I played Mapleview yesterday, though I had heard a lot about it over the years, I've never had the chance to play it before. The course was in quite good shape, with only a few wet areas on some fairways, but...

Anyone have any feedback on lessons with Johnathan through L'ecole Du Golf at Buckingham Golf club? Especially interested in having someone help me with my short game (chipping and putting). Have asked if he is able to teach in English as my French n'est pas bon.

Good morning everyone! I am looking to get new irons (potentially this winter) and I am wondering where the best place to go to get fitted to see which shafts, brand etc is right for me. Does anyone have a suggestion on what place is the best for this? I have heard people go to Golf town, Haime...

Pine View will be opening Friday April 21st. Tee times can be booked as of 6pm Thursday April 13th for both courses.

Looking to revive my membership, just wondering what the club / membership / general vibe is these days?

I miss the good old days here. If Dan ChiefLongTee are still lurking out there, greetings and here's lookin' at you, guys!

What options are people considering for indoor golf season? I’ve done winter golf school at Falcon Ridge the last couple of years but that had been discontinued in its previous format. Looking at domes or simulators or any other options to try and keep the swing in shape. Any input appreciated...
