The course is in really bad shape, especially the fairways and greens

I got a deal so I decided to try it again. The course is in very bad condition. Some of the fairways are just awful. There was nobody on the course when I went and I can understand why now.

Beautiful 9 hole in the city

White sands is a true gem. It is perfect when you are short on time but still want a good challenge. It is only par 3's but they have water and some nice sand traps.

The worst I have seen it , the greens are just horrible

I have played Capital for a couple of years to practice my short game.I went this year and I was shocked to see the quality. I will not go again this year.

Short and easy golf course.

Riverbend is an average golf course but It can be a good way to spend a couple of hours on a golf course that is not crowded. It is very flat and lacks a bit of character.
The price is cheap , so you can't complain about that though and it is easy to walk.

Nice staff , golf course needs some work

It was my first time at the Gatineau golf club. The staff is very nice and polite. I really prefer the back nine. It is nicer looking even though there is a power line that goes through a hole which I sadly hit the wire and made me miss my shot , we laughed about it.
The tee boxes need a bit of TLC. The pace of play was really slow. I still had a good time but when I saw the clubhouse , I was expecting to see a better course. The par 3's are pretty nice though.

Mixed feelings

We were very excited to play Equinelle. When we arrived , we noticed that before our start time , the 4 spots were empty. We asked if we could play the 2 of us together at that time since there was nobody booked. He said that it wasn't really possible.The new start time was like in 10 minutes. As we are preparing to tee off , he says we have to be paired up with someone that just booked. What are the odds , eh ? They were 3, 1 guy and his g/f in a cart and the other one walking. The g/f wasn't going play they said. Still 5 is too big of a party for me , so we declined and they teed off before us. Playing with someone who is walking when we all have cart , doesn't make sense. Anyhow , again he decided to pair us up with 2 guys and we said yes because we were already annoyed. So in the last 5 starts since we were there , 3 of them were 2 . Wasn't impress with his excuses. My friend was really unhappy to see a 2some behind us and a twosome in front of us. We would have prefer to hear the truth than lies , when we see 3 groups of 2 in the last 5 starts and we are the only one who asked for it and he made sure we didn't get it.

Fun short course with par 3's and 4's

Before I talk about the course, I do have to mention their AMAZING customer service. They are really unique at that place.
Sumac grove is the shortest of the 2 courses at Madawaska. It has par 3's and par 4's and it is a par 61.
It offers a lot of challenges for a short course. It is also a good course if you want to play with friends , family or people that may not be ready for the bigger course yet.
For myself , I use it to practice my approach shot and practice my driver on the few par 4's.
The pace of play is good and you may want to try it again to see if you can improve on your first score.
If you like to walk , this course is perfect for it.

Nice and fun course with excellent customer

It was my first time playing there. The course is very tight and challenging , keep your slice or hook at home.. The staff is UNBELIEVABLE , they are the nicest I have ever met. They make you feel good and you start with a smile.
Hats off to the staff and the fun course.

Awesome layout and beautiful views

Montebello was a last minute decision. I am so happy I did it.
The course is quite unique and the views are worth it. There is a lot of elevation at Montebello and one of the par 3 is actually way higher than the tee box and if you run short , well ....bye bye ball since it is guarded by a rock wall. At this time of the year , I was surprise to see the quality of the course . I cannot imagine how beautiful it must be in the middle of summer. I really recommend this course , it is fun , beautiful and it will challenge you for sure.

Easy fun course but quality is below average

I always wanted to play at Manitou. I was very excited to go and try it. The young girl at the pro shop is so nice and friendly , I wish I knew her name , she really enjoys her job.

The course itself is below average. If you have seen the Picture of the advertising of Manitou , well be prepare to be in shock. It doesn't even look close to it but the design has potential.The fairways and sand traps are just horrible. The sand trap had lots of rocks in it. The layout is very average, you always have to be on the look out for other balls coming from several holes. The day I played was very slow , we sometimes were 3 groups waiting at the same time while the 4th group was teeing off.

Short and easy course

Richmond Centennial was shorter than expected , it is a par 67 only. The course is very flat and short. If you are a long hitter , this might not be for you , you might be able to reach the Green's of some par 4 easily. There is a lot of par 3's and only one par 5's. The staff was pleasant and the price was unbeatable. It is a good alternative if you want some practice on an easy course.

Easy fun course for the family

Capital golf is made of par 3's only. It is perfect if you want to play with beginners , your entire family or just maybe practice your approaches/chipping. The staff is always very nice and playing this course is a good alternative when you are short on time. You can play it under 2 hours. The greens are very shaggy and very slow.

Nice manicured course

I played with my friend and we were paired up with another couple. Lucky for us , they were nice. The course is short but fun and has some very nice greens and fairways. You have a lot of hazards to keep you on your toes. The service was professional but not snotty at all. I would go there again even though it was very busy when I was there . You could see tons of cars in the parking lot ....this is a busy place for sure

Some nice holes but some too close to houses

I was very excited to try this course. It didn't start very well when the starter said : he would be better NOT to use your driver on the 1st hole to respect the houses next to the course. I was looking at him , and still went with my driver and made an excellent shot. I wasn't impress already. Another hole later , they have a sign suggesting not to use your driver again to respect the houses close to the course ....Ok , now I have enough , I didn't pay that much money to play mini-golf....Some holes are great but the ones that are too close to the houses well ...it is just not planned correctly...I will never go back again , there is too many nice golf course too worry all the time.

Customer service = a BIG ZERO. The course is easy and nice.

First, it was my first time to this golf course. The older lady with the glasses at the pro-shop has ZERO customer skills. The people in front of us had book through golfnow also and she made a "sigh' when they said it. She made another one when they said they wanted to pay separately. The guy felt uncomfortable so he decided to pay for both. We got the same treatment when we said we booked through golf now. She didn't have our reservation even though we showed her the proof and she said it wasn't her fault so we had to pay the current rate. My friend and I got so irritaded with her attitude that we decided to pay before ruining our day. Our previous deal had a bucket of balls which we never got of course. The course itself is easy and well manicured but we will NEVER go back.

Beautiful course

Renfrew is a beautiful course with a lot of elevations. It is not the most difficult one but it is a good challenge for sure. The green and fairways are in very good shape.
The staff was very professional and polite.
I would go back to this place anytime.

Nice course worth playing

Whitetail is a nice course with a lot of nice views.
The course has beautiful holes and the greens are in good shape.
The only downside is that I have been there twice and they always have to mention that I booked through Golfnow , meaning they will pair us up( We were 2). That comment is a bit annoying when you see several other 2 some on the course. It is the only place I have played that makes that snotty remark. It just leaves a bad taste when you start.

The course itself needs a lot of work, especially the fairways.....the greens are ok, sadly I don't think I will play it again even if it was 10$. The quality needs to improve on this course.

Mont Ste-Marie is worth the drive. The course has nice views and it is challenging. Some of the greens are very tough which makes it fun.

Easy course with poor quality

Bearbrook is an option when you want something quick and cheap. The green and the fairways are not well maintained. The course is perfect if you are a beginner or don't have high expectations.
