Anyone heard from Colin Orr? I had signed up for his winter golf school and paid. He then cancelled his school and has not refunded me. His phone number is now "temporarily out of service". I find this hard to believe that Colin who has been around Ottawa for years has just up and left. Anyone else...

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

Anyone on here has or has tried the 5 or 5.5. The 5.5 has a moderate toe hang.

Beginning this weekend, Crooked Creek is planning to reopen for several days. Check the Crooked Creek Facebook site. Cedar Glen will decide Saturday morning whether the course can open that day. Someone will be there to answer the phone as of 9 am.

Does anyone know a virtual golf spot offering decent deals/multi game packs or even memberships? Golf o max is now $40 during prime time to play 18 holes. They do offer a free game for every 10 played and some deals after 10pm on weekdays but beyond that, there’s not much. It’s hard to justify...

It's November but I haven't seen any courses announcing when their last day for 2022. Anyone aware of courses that have closed for the season?

Played Metcalfe 9-hole course this morning. Cart path only on holes 1-8, but only 3 and 4 were spongy and had standing water in the fairway. A couple of bunkers on 5 and 6 had water in them. The 18-hole course was cart path only on the original 9 holes (1 to 6 and 16-18), but I was told by another...

Ive been hunting for a club that is currently accepting new members for next year. Club link has openings and I would be looking at $3600+tax. Im on the waitlist right now for Greensmere and Hylands. I am 29 so if there are intermediate spots available that's a bonus aswell. I have looked...

I was wondering what you like and dislike about being a member. You can message me if you feel more comfortable. I have played the course a few times so familiar with the setup. Thanks for any information.

Saw online last week that Modern Golf, a high-end, brand-agnostic custom golf club fitting facility, announced that they will be opening up a new location in Ottawa. And with the news of TXG’s sale to Club Champion last week, we are likely going to see TXG locations across the country popping...
