eQuinelle Golf Club

Course was in great shape and with an early morning tee time and discount it was an excellent experience.
Ended with lunch and drinks in the new clubhouse which was also quite reasonable and a terrific view.

Great time! This is an excellent course that everyone should try

friendly staff, excellent course that will challenge golfers of all levels. If playing the "whites", it may be a good idea to play Hole number #1 from the Senior tees and go back to the whites after that. #1 is a long carry over water usually into a stiff wind.

I travel to Ottawa to visit family at least once every summer. I make it a point to come and play this course, it is an absolute must. The course is fair but challenging depending on the tees you pick.
The staff is always friendly and the course is in amazing shape. One of my favorites for sure.

The course is a great layout and the conditions were perfect. The pace of play was a little slow as there were very young players on the course who might benefit from some golf etiquette instruction. Some young children were in a group with adults. Some children played while one who did not play but drove a golf cart. They also were fishing for balls.

Again the course is great as were the conditions but on such a great course one does not expect slow play caused by children.

Super greens, layout, fairway condition and staff. Very much worth the drive to Kemptville!

A superior track in a friendly milieu . Pace of play needs to be enforced as many players are of mixed skill levels . It seems that 4 and one half is the norm

Manicured fairways and greens. Wide fairways. Should not lose a ball off the tee. Good course to play if you spray your tee shots. Easy to walk. Love this course.

Course was great but ended up putting us with another two players which were much slower golfers. spent 5 hours playing 18 when it should have taken 2 and a half to 3 hours to play. If wanted to play with four we would have came with four.

COURSE IS IN GREAT SHAPE. PACE OF PLAY COULD HAVE BEEN A BIT FASTER. TWO TWOSOMES IN FRONT OF US AND NO MARSHALL . TOOK 9 HOLES FOR THESE TWOSOME TO FINALLY MATCH UP TOGETHER. SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY STARTER.
BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT

First time at Equinelle this year, and a first since the new clubhouse has opened. It was a bit rainy for most of the round, but certainly going to count that against the experience. Equinelle is in my opinion the best value in the Ottawa Valley. The conditions rival any of the private clubs I have played in the area. At 40 minutes from Kanata, it is certainly worth the drive. I really can't say anything negative. Not a fan of the ninth hole but that is just because i never play it well. I will certainly be back out challenge number 9 again.

This course was a lot more fun when it wasn't so busy and the fairways weren't bordered by houses

Nice layout, and the course was in excellent condition.

The overall experience wasn't the best. We checked in at 6:55 AM for a 7:18 AM tee off time. Had to wait about 10 minutes for carts to be shuttled up to the pro shop from the shed. Got to the first tee and teed off right away. Playing as a foursome, it was 7:18 AM when we headed away from the first tee.

We finished the front nine in 2:10 (we had been making better time than that, but all 4 of us screwed up the ninth hole in different ways). There was a threesome playing behind us, and they waited to hit shots maybe twice on the front nine (once was on the par 3 8th hole.)

Stopped at the snack shack to grab some drinks and food . The stop at the turn was 5 to 6 minutes tops.

After we teed off on #10, a single got between us and the threesome. After we finished #10, a marshal, with arguably not the best people skills, drove up to us and said "You guys are incredibly slow". We questioned that a little, and then he asked us what time we started (he had no idea).

We told him we teed off at 7:18, and asked him what time it was at that moment (none of us were wearing watches). He told us it was 9:40, which was 2:22 after our start time. Not the fastest 10 holes ever, but certainly not the slowest either. He grumbled that we were way too slow, and that there were open holes ahead of us. There were indeed open holes ahead of us, as we had never seen the group ahead of us at all, even on the first tee.

When we finished #11, the single was now nipping at our heels. We wanted to let the single play through, and went to #12 to hit our tee shots, then wait for him. The single stayed parked by 11 green, and after trying a couple times to wave him up (he was looking at his phone or something) we said "forget it" and went to hit our second shots on #12. The single waited for us to finish putting on #12 before teeing off, which was odd since #12 is a 330+/- yard par 4, and he didn't seem to be a big hitter.

After we all hit our tee shots on #13, another marshal marched up and told us that there is a single behind us, and that we need to let him play through since we were playing very slowly. We told him that we had tried to wave him up the previous hole. He started in again about there being open holes ahead of us, etc. We waited by the green on #13 to let the single play through.

We played #14, a par 4, and we were finishing putting as the threesome behind us--who started all this nonsense--was walking to the 14th tee box. Even after letting the single play through, we had 400 yards behind us.

As an aside, if a marshal is so worried about pace of play, why would he allow a single to play in front of a threesome? Why not pair them together to make another foursome.

On #17, one of the golf carts abruptly stopped working in the middle of the fairway. The carts are equipped with hitches for towing each other, so after a few minutes or fiddling around, we figured out to tow the dead cart behind the other working cart.

We finished 17 and 18 towing the dead cart. We were finished #18 and driving from #18 green to the parking lot at 11:35 AM. Our "incredibly, slow" round took 4:17, including the 3 to 5 minutes we lost messing around with the dead cart. Not the fastest round ever, but not the slowest ever given that 2 of the 4 of us had never played the course before. .

After unloading the carts, I drove my cart back to return it, still towing the dead cart. I figured I'd be nice and give the pro shop a heads up that the one cart was dead so they didn't try to send it back out. When I told the kid at the desk, he just said "Oh". Not "Oh, I'm sorry about the inconvenience" or anything like that, just "Oh". He almost seemed irritated that I bothered to tell him. This seemed like a fitting end to the round.

Nice course: Waaaay too much drama for an activity that is supposed to be enjoyable.

Greens were great, new clubhouse is amazing and staff are very professional

Love the course. Great condition always. Greens are are always challenging.

This is a course that is laid out in a golf community. Lots of challenge depending on which tees you play from. Nice course to walk, played with a couple of members who were very nice, this is a semi private course.

Very well kept pleasant layout in great shape. Brand new club house with efficient friendly staff.

course is in great shape greens are best in the area i cancelled 4 rounds to play this little masterpiece several times

Equinelle is a great course!! Easy walking course, which is always in great condition. The staff is always friendly and attentive and with the addition of their new club house the amenities are just that much better.

Always great conditions. Staff always friendly.
Not too far from Ottawa
