Classic old course. The old rap on this course was straight and boring. New owners have changed some tee boxes to help with that and it has worked. New bunkers off tee shots have challenged the boring rap. Conditions were perfect with excellent (sometimes new) tee boxes and fast greens. They have shyed away from tournaments which meant conditions have been great all year. If you choose to hit from appropriate tees (5 options) you can make it relaxing and shortish or challenging from the tips. Some walks between holes are long and driving range has been changed into a new parking lot for a new pro shop which will make the walk from your car to the first tee much nicer next year. Couple this course with a round at Black Bear Ridge and/or Trillium Wood and you will never be disappointed as all three courses are excellent. The locals are spoiled!

Had planned a weekend to Ottawa for football game and round at The Marshes (also in Kanata) then saw a last minute deal at Golf Now for this course I hadn't played in years. So glad we did because it was the highlight of the trip. My wife and I were glad they didn't force us to join up with either twosome ahead or behind us which was very much appreciated. The Marshes recommended the middle blue tees but I probably should have played the golds but it really didn't take away from the round. Greens were aerated which we were warned about and nothing you can do there but all other conditions were great! Very interesting tee shots with dangerous landing areas and it made you think. If you can turn the ball left and right you will be rewarded with shorter approaches but straight shots or alight fades aren't punish you if you are smart. Round was quick for a summer Sunday morning (less than 4 hrs) and lunch on the patio after was excellent. We are definitely coming back!

Very similar to the expensive courses in Toronto and the regulate rate is just as expensive. Golf Now deal made it good value. Some nice holes, especially the long par 5 second and the short par 3 8th (at the base of Brookstreet hotel), some throw away holes, some that I still can't figure out how to play but that makes it interesting. Conditions are always nice and free range and bottle of water at the start was a nice touch. Considering you are in the middle of Kanata between high tech companies it's still a recommended track.

Excellent track with spectacular elevation changes and views of Rice Lake. 10th tee is one of my favourites anywhere. Short on the scorecard but not easy around the greens, so scoring is not as easy as the length might suggest. Lots of fun.

Not great conditions but cheep. Good for beginners and kids.

Great value with GolfNow savings. It's a steal if you get a hot deal.
