Perfectly Fine But......

Have played course several times. Front nine very old , back quite new . Front has it's charms, back not so much. Back longish with lots of blind shots, hazards. not my cup of tea. Course was a bit scruffy, weather has been very wet, but that's my sense. The day we played the members were playing in sixsomes ? Just what we need to help pace of play !

Ok for the golfnow price.

The fairways were very rough and the humps and bumps should be fixed.
The greens were good.. The scenery was very good with the Tay River winding through the middle of the course. I left with the feeling that this could be a really nice course with some work on the fairways.
I enjoyed the day !

Perth Course

Nice course with a mixture of length and dog legs to challenge you. Good selection of tee blocks for all skill levels. Friendly staff. A course located within the city limits but no houses abutting the course; just trees, water and grass.

Perfectly acceptable in every regard.

This facility is a pleasant course and clubhouse with nothing spectacular and nothing wrong ! Conditions were good and the layout was fine. You will enjoy a comfortable round of golf in a nice town within easy reach of major attractions in Ottawa and Kingston. A very wet Spring has left a few soggy areas but overall no awkward swamps or puddles so drainage must be working OK.

This course should not be open yet due to wet conditions. 6 holes out of 18 were closed due to water. It will be at least 3 weeks before this course dries out to where it should be. Normally this is a nice course to play when it is dry.

Opening Day

We golfed this course on the first day of the season so the conditions weren't great--it's been a wet spring and many of the fairways were soggy and the greens slow. However, the staff were friendly and we still enjoyed our game. We'll definitely be back.

A good walk spoiled!

This is the second time playing this lovely course. From the first green we could see golfers ahead of us on the 4th green. By the time we played ourselves to the fifth they were still on this hole and the remaining 13 holes took more than 4.5 hours in carts as there were several groups ahead of them. It was equally slow the first time we played the course ealier in the year. 5 hour rounds in carts is not acceptable even though the course was very quiet except for the few groups out there.

Perth ... a Little pearl of a Gem

Hello .... fellow duffers,
Perth Golf Course - Date of Play: October 9, 2016
Perth Golf Course - Date of Play: October 9, 2016
A pearl of a gem, a little south west of Ottawa ( an hours drive )........ greens were cut and in very good condition , rolling true and tidy and only a few areas of the fairways where the leaf rule might be considered.
No aeration , had been executed at this point which was a surprise,
Only disappointment was that ........... what seemed to have been a disgruntled or lazy group in front of us ...... left 5 of the last 6 flags on the greens ( not in the upright cup position) and a couple of those were several feet from the from the designated placement and the winds were not strong enough to make Flagsticks fly several feet from the hole........(annoying at best ). The young staff member in the pro shop tried to indicate it could have been the the wind...but there were several greens in non windy areas and those markers were grounded. only a few more weeks of Northern Golf ..... enjoy !

Excellent round and value for the money!

A last minute decision to book via GN with excellent deal on the way back to Ottawa from Toronto. The weather was poor and the course was almost empty due to the finals of the Ryders cup, which was perfect for me and my wife and we finished the round in about 3 hours. Even the sky was overcast but no rain, course condition was fair to good with challenge greens. The staff was super friendly and we surely will go back to this course.
