Hi everyone 50 year old duffer here looking at potentially joining the Monday night Pineview league. Anyone ever done it? Interested in value for money, the overall experience, if it's actually fun, etc. Thanks.

Good to see some equipment up for sale after the winter months. Golf season is just around the corner as soon as mother nature makes up her mind LOL

Great weather with temps pver 10* sOME COURSES WILL REMAON OPEN. Post if you know some Cascades, aerating but re-opening on Thursday Emerald Links, I think they may stay open until the 11th

Saw that Target Golf Centre is opening an Ottawa location in December on Bank street where FarmBoy is located. Check web site. They have multiple locations in southern Ontario (over 15). Reading their web site the places are fully automated (no body working inside). And open 24/7. The rates...

Received an email from Perth Golf Course stating the following ... Effective as of the end of this past season, the Perth Golf Course will be closed for the next two years. We anticipate nine holes re-opening for the 2027 golf season with a brand new clubhouse and amenities. We thank you...

Played Mountain Creek on Thursday and got "surprised" at the course when we were checking in. They told us that 15 greens were punched, and it turned out that some of them had very LARGE punch holes, and NO SAND. Made for miserable chipping and putting.

Anyone has one lying around and not used? Thanks

Is Whitetail walkable, haven't been there yet?

Due to play Wednesday this week does anyone have an update on punching of greens..called but no one has info

I guess we now have an explanation for why the course has gone downhill over the last couple of years: https://ottawasun.com/news/local-news/chateau-montebello-to-be-sold-following-liquidation-of-china-evergrande/wcm/22bb0e8e-7994-40e9-9fca-4db4cc2ce15b Hopefully somebody will buy it and...

Anyone can comment about the new design at the course? Rumors that there is a 1 kilometre. walk between one hole and and another ? Thanks

Don't have to tell you to drink a lot of water if you are venturing out on the course next few days. I am playing tomorow and will be carting thank you. Please be careful and aware of heat strokes. No fun at all.

Any one played the course this year. Conditions were not the best last year.

Anyone played this season? How are the conditions?

Got an email from Calabogie / Pakenham a couple of days ago. Here's what they are hoping for ..... cut and pasted directly from the email ... The weather is pushing for an early start to the 2024 season and so are we. If the pattern holds our plan is to open Calabogie for St. Paddy's Day!!!...

Hi, I have a club EG membership that I am looking to transfer as I have signed up for a full membership. I paid $631 with taxes. Make me an offer I cannot refuse. You can book 7 days in advance and most courses cost $25-$30. I play at the Meadows which is $60 a round and with Club EG I pay...

Any reports on this course will be appreciated, i.e. is it worth the drive from Riverside South. Thanks Pete

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...

Played my first game at the Champlain yesterday. Very dry conditions, greens normal for this time of year. Have great season all.

I would like to know if there are any Gatineau golf club members on here and what are their views on the complete overall mess with this construction goings on

This weekend looks horrid and most are closing Friday if they haven’t already. Any open into next week? Next weekend looks very playable

Well pretty much done with outdoor golf this year unless we get some really nice weather. Played yesterday and had enough. On the up side, indoor golf starts Nov 7th for our 4some. My season was pretty crappy as i struggled to stay focused. Hope you all had a good season.

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.

Housing development scheduled to have started this year will be delayed another year. GM Stacie Beverage says that no construction is expected in 2024. Great news for golf on the Tay. I played twice last week and the course was in excellent condition. Although greens were scheduled to be punched...

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....

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

My Mom is giving me her motocaddy M3 pro as can no longer walk and I do sometimes walk. It needs a new battery. I looked online and price is around $500. Are you able to use a generic battery and if you what would you recommend. Thanks

I am unable to get into the pool. I can get into other topics here on the website. Any suggestions?

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.
