My question is Why do golf course crews work in a clockwise direction when cutting grass, etc. Every course they always cut holes 1-18 vs the common sense 18-1 route. Today at Pineview we had the same mower follow us for 6 holes. Why not go in the opposite direction so I only see you once...

We played Dragon Fly on Friday. I have not been up for a few years. What a great surprise. Lots of improvements and a well maintained course with extremely friendly staff. 68.00 with cart and tax and well worth the drive. It was green ALL OVER :-):-)

At Touraine, which is a par 65. 😂😂

Just wondering if anyone has played there this year. Camping near there end of July and might look to play there

Any deals to play montebello

We are looking for suggestions for a three day golf getaway that is reasonably priced...suggestions? Need a change of scenery from our regular course. Thanks!

Good News-Rakes and ball washers are back at the Champlain:-)

wow ... here is a note from Clublink today Over the last two weeks, Member rounds have increased by just over 6,000 rounds per week or 18.5%, compared to the same time last year. When comparing to the last two weeks to the same timeframe in 2019, Member rounds are up 71.8%.

Division E Algonquin 43 Eagle Creek 36 Rockland 28 Perth 13 Would be great if others know the results and post.

Anyone have any experience with Brett or being fit at the Canadian? I booked a fitting since it’s time to upgrade my driver, still playing my trusty 910, and they seem to have the best selection of equipment. I had a Titleist day fitting but they basically gave me one head and shaft combo and said...

Ottawa-Gatineau border checkpoints ended Wednesday Non-essential travel restrictions ended at the Ontario-Quebec boundary on Wednesday, allowing Ottawa and Gatineau residents to freely cross the Ottawa River without going through police checkpoints. The Ontario government implemented travel...

How is the walk at Equinelle? tks

Still looking to see if there are any updates,since a good part of the course is torn down,will it be full price for playing front 9 twice..pretty sad situation with Gatineau

Have holes 5 and 6 recovered? Have not played there in two years.

Does anyone know if ranges located at both private and public courses will be allowed to open this Friday?

I've been unable to play until this week, and when I go out for 9 holes, the price is as much as 18 was last year. Is it just me, or are the courses gouging us after some lean years? Or is it just getting back to normal after some years of really really great deals?

that's all

Month out now and wondering if anyone has started their qualifying. Same qualifications as past years or are courses doing single round qualifiers?

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Loch March for going completely above and beyond yesterday. In the fury of trying to book online tee times during the restrictions lift, I must have made a mistake in booking 2 spots at their course on Sunday all while thinking I did so for Monday. (I felt...

How did you guys play and enjoy being outside doing something you love. Hope you all had a great game. Feel free to comment on the game itself. Cheers

I was just thinking of Lyle and wondering if any of you have herd anything about him lately? He used to be on here on a regular basis and a great contributor to the forum.

Just when you thought everyone would be happy :confused Be aware that some courses are not allowing 24 hour cancellations anymore. I have been told by one course that the government has mandated all green fees to be paid up front on booking. You will only be given a raincheck for...

With the excellent news that Ontario is opening for golf this Saturday, however something that is not clear to me though is can Ontarians golf in Quebec or is that still a no? Maybe I am answering my own question that one would assume that Ontarians should not go until June 2nd when the Stay at...

Registration is now open for Men's Night at Pine View. https://www.pineview.com/en/golf/leagues/mensnight Play 9 or 18 holes. Pay only for the weeks you can attend. 3pm and 5pm starting times. Lots of prizes and contests each week.

As I'm new to Ottawa Golf I'd like to get some thoughts and opinions on the most walkable courses in the region. I'd prefer open and flat, but a condensed hilly course would be okay as well. I'm also hoping to gather some intel on the best 9 hole segments. Let me know your favourite and most...

Mr Legault is announcing his plan to get back to normal and i must say i am very optimistic about having a great summer. There are way too many dates and information for me to re-call but it looks like we are gonna get things under control. We will get to see our children grand children etc..Best...

Anyone know if the driving range in Barrhaven or the one close to Emerald Links would be willing to sell a matt since they haven't been open in 2 years. The one in Barrhaven is most likely never going to re-open, lots of construction around it now. Would love to buy a matt for cheaper then...

What would you suggest for a group of guys who are mostly 25+ handicap but keep up with the pace of play? Would Le Diable or La Bête too tough?

Absolute Correct decision. The USGA announced Wednesday that it has canceled U.S. Open local and final qualifying events in Canada due to COVID-19. Earlier this month the province of Ontario extended its lockdown amid the pandemic to golf courses, and the stay-at-home order is expected to...
