Very friendly staff

I was late for half an hour because the main highway was closed but the very friendly staff quickly put me with another 2 young golfers on the next available tee time. We had a good time and I tried to keep up with them on most of the holes. We finished in 4 hours which could be less if we did not have to wait a few on several holes.

Amazing Course

The only negative issue with the round were the mosquitos because of the recent rains. But the course was in great condition. Very memorable experience. I would put this this course on my to play again list. Can't wait to come back. (minus the mosquitos)

Thanks for taking the time and reviewing Loch March. We have been in direct contact with the City of Ottawa anti-mosquito squad and learned that Kanata North is one of the first areas in Ontario where experts are attempting to control a new invasive species of mosquito. The spring floods and persistent rains left the grounds so saturated that water would just pool and not seep into the ground - ideal conditions for mosquitoes to breed. Our guests have been reporting fine playing conditions throughout the day for several weeks now. We look very much forward to welcoming you again!

Merci d'avoir partager vos commentaires au sujet de Loch March. Nous avons été en contact avec l'escouade anti-moustique de la Ville d'Ottawa qui tente de contrôler la propagation d'une nouvelle espèce de moustiques qui a fait son apparition en Ontario cet été. Nous sommes heureux de constater que la présence de moustiques a considérablement décru ces derniers temps. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau!

Fun and Challenging

Overall a fun and challenging course. Good topography, challenging sand trap placement and water hazards. A bit jammed in terms of number of people playing the course. Fairways and greens in very good condition. Some mosquitos and deer flies so bring the bug juice! Would definitely recommend the course.

Best course conditions in Ottawa

Course is in the best shape by far out of any course around! Greens are beautiful. Great fairways and tee blocks. Best bang for the buck.

Course was great, price was great, most staff were great. Mainly just a complaint about the attitude of the other golfers on the course of the day and the specific marshall working who had a poor ability to identify and resolve issues of pace of play and golf etiquette. We were a foursome and the Marshall kept pushing twosomes through us, we finished in 4hrs 7minutes after playing three twosomes through which is a reasonable time on its own before you consider all the time we spent waiting for groups to play through us. The golfers behind us most of the round were running & sprinting on the greens taking short cuts to the tee boxes and playing into us repeatedly, all of which didn’t concern the Marshall just that we were behind pace of the twosomes on his course.

Fantastic condition

Unlike most of the courses in the Ottawa area, this course is in outstanding condition. Great patio with good food and friendly service. This is a challenging course, so play from the appropriate tee boxes. Friendly Marshalls ensure good pace of play. If looking for appropriate public course, play this one.

Loch March

Excellent golf course. Very pleasing to the eye with lots of water and undulations. A couple of greens were not in top condition but most were. There is very little room for error around the greens, if you miss the green, you are in the forest and forget about finding your ball in there. This makes the course just too difficult for me, I don't need to lose a ball on each hole. That's no fun. I will probably not go back because of that, unless my iron accuracy improves a lot.

Loch March

Had been wanting to play this course since first seeing it two years ago. Since then had heard good things but had not had a chance to play it for myself until today. It is said by many that Loch March is the best course in the Ottawa are and maybe in Eastern Ontario. Well, I don't know about that but it is certainly beautiful. With 5 different tee decks there is enough challenge for virtually any kind of golfer. There is not one "boring" hole on the course. They are all extremely well designed with lots of options to play each one - regardless of how / how far you hit the ball. Greens were as close to perfect as possible - fast enough but very fair. The only issue for the day was the combination of the extreme heat / humidity and the deer / horse flies and mosquitos that had us running from shade and anywhere near trees or water. It made a perfect day a little less so. I'm told that later in the summer these "pests" will be gone and that will make for a much more pleasant day at Loch March. Plan to go back in the fall (Sep / Oct) and enjoy another round then. If you find yourself in the Ottawa area, I highly recommend that you try and play this course.
