Reviews of Metcalfe Golf Club (Golf)

B Tr0n

Great place. Great staff. Holes are interesting and varied. Greens need more love. Been a difficult summer, but they are patchy on some of the early holes.

Samantha Chenier

Beautiful venue with competitive pricing!

Yasme Gagnon

Beautiful golf course

Ron Allison

Not a bad public country track. Worth the price of admission but not worth having to drive more than an hour in order to get there.

Darcy Dunne

Another underwhelming experience at this golf course. I'm disappointed they wouldn't honour a paid for gift certificate that was partially expired, even though the course had been closed for a portion of the season due to COVID-19. While this is my "local" course I find myself going there less and less as I find I can get better value for my golf dollar elsewhere.

Brian Berkers

This is a nice golf course with a great restaurant not far from the city.

Luc Poulin

Nice place. Good food.

Rachelle McGregor

I am not a golfer, but I played with my in laws and made it 18 holes without a problem. Early greens are a bit rough but the course got better in later holes.

Ron Bernard

Great place to pick up a game.

Carolyn Brewer

We had a great time and the food was awesome. Thanks for the great service Canada Day ????????

Geoffrey Quaile

I have been playing the course for 3 years now and each year the course conditions get worse. There is no evidence that they are working to improve the course. No aeration of the fairways, no seeding on the greens and they don't even provide sand seed to repair tee box divots. It's unfortunate because the course services are great and the food is top notch.

Matt Luckett

The conditions were great and the course was the perfect difficulty for the average golfer. Some tight faraway but forgiving enough.

Rob Landon

Great golfing tucked away off highway 8. Dad and I played here and enjoyed it so much we went for another round. Clean fairways, well manicured greens, the first 5 on the 9 hole is a tad back and forth but the golfing overall was great. Clubhouse is loud but entertaining and fun. Fees are reasonable given the cost of other courses nearby.

Gary Walsh

The positives are the staff and friendliness. Period. The course however leaves a lot to be desired, both from design and maintenance perspectives. The greens are ok, which helped lift this rating from 2 to 3 stars.

Jamie Gamache

Good public course, great food and friendly staff

Cyndie Summers

rebecca anderson

I have visited Metcalfe Golf club on many occasions and always enjoy the atmosphere of the club and the exceptional service from the staff. Although I don't play golf, I have been told it is a great golf course, I have enjoyed many delicious meals in their restaurant, most recently the excellent Mother's Day brunch.

Gabe Rajhathy

Metcalfe Golf is always a pleasure to play!!

Lucy Blinn

My favorite golf course

Andy Rajhathy

Metcalfe is always a great place to go! Having the extra nine-hole course is perfect for casual golfers and their 18 hole course is in terrific condition. The customer service will speak for itself plus their food is amazing. They have the full package at Metcalfe!

Andy Girard

Always a pleasure to golf and dine out hear.

Ed Gauthier

Quick reception. Very clean.

Carl Parsons (Sam)

Well maintained golf course with strict Covid controls.

Philip Jo

It is a nice golf club.

Chris Swenson

Amazing course! Pristine course condition and friendly staff!

Natacha Kennington

Had our wedding ceremony and reception here, best price we found any where in Ottawa. The staff, food and grounds were all amazing. Only thing would be if they had an area for the bridal party to get ready.

Mario Charron

I live this place, the staff is super friendly and accommodating. The food in the restaurant is excellent. The course is not easy but you don't have to cross anything off the tee to get to fairway so inspire confidence for the novice. The green are in good shape. I recommend to all levels of golfers.

Paul Gagnon

Great facility

Jim Henry

Friendly staff and great food. Oh and the golf course is nice too, in great shape considering all the rain this year.

Janet Bax

This is a great little course with a separate 18 and 9 hole course. Staff who understand what customer service is and a friendly atmosphere. make the place special. Today, as I left the parking lot, I realized I had a flat tire. Before I could park the car, someone had gone in to ask the guys in the shed/repair shop if they could give a hand. I was ushered into the shed by a competent man who then proceeded to change my tire and put on my spare. Working fast, he did an excellent job. When we were done, I asked if I might offer something. No, he said, he was the owner of the club!!!! I was gob smacked. Clearly, service starts at the top! I shall be back, Mr. Welch! You are a class act.

Pat Walton

Uptight marshall

Carley McEvoy

Great course, wonderful staff, and the food is always delicious! Their covid protocols were clear and kept everyone safe. Looking forward to getting out in the 2021 season!

Carmen & Chris Hughes

We completed our round of golf in 3 and 1/2 hours my beautiful sunny Sunday. Doesn't get much better!

Ann McDonald

Enjoy playing here.

Ryan Pedersen

Great staff, and course. Nine hole course is forgiving and fun, 18 hole course is a bit more challenging and has some smooth par threes if you're chasing an ace... Great greens on every hole. The carts come equiped with ball and club cleaners which is a nice bonus.

Mike McDonell

Fun course. Super friendly staff. Great prices

Steve Ryan

Metcalfe is a great course, but with a tough finishing three holes! The greens were perfect and the layout is great, and the food and customer service has been excellent every time I've played there. Also, this is where I shot my best-ever front nine score so I always look forward to playing it.

Joel Plamondon

Excellent staff. Friendly help and directions.

Mike Thomas

Nice course

Aidan Clarmo

it was a good golf course for the area that its in

J Brayman

Based on many previous Google reviews I was expecting more from my experience. However, in hindsight was pleased by the service (5-star), but disappointed by the golf(1-2 stars) = 3-star overall rating. Yes, the course (and many others in the Ottawa Valley) clearly took a beating this past winter. Greens on the front nine are awful- should be ‘2-put’ greens. Some of the fairways have faced years of neglect, improper drainage and care. Ever played through a hydro tower? If no and you want to, this is your course! This is a country course, and not a well manicured or consistently groomed course I was expecting. On the positive side, some nice natural scenery (outside of the hydro corridor), the last few holes are in ok shape, great signage to guide your play and the staff are well organized & very friendly.

Fidel Guzman

Great golf course friendly staff

Jamie Blaustein

Great course, friendly staff and members

Isaac “One man hockey” Visser

Amazing grad party hosted my the golf club

T Jones

Course is in amazing shape! Hit 18 and was extremely happy with all greens and fairways. Staff were great and helpful, I took a little too long getting off on my tee time and the staff were super understanding. Ordered food and it was available to pick up at their entrance. The course is fairly difficult but perfect for all levels from beginner to experienced because of the large fairways. Definitely will recommend and will 100% be back.

Yulissa carrasco

Verry good

James Poortinga

Great little course, ideal to play 9 and dine. Food at Hickory's is good. Always enjoy my experience here.

Frank Cameron

Great job with COVID!! BEST IN CLASS Course is in lovely shape. Pace of play not bad.

Charn H.

This is a nice course to play and all of the staff that I have interacted with over the years are always friendly. As with many of the courses in Ottawa and the surrounding areas, the greens and fairways were hit hard this year. That being said, each time I've played the 18-hole course this year (6 times so far), the course conditions have improved due to better weather and hard-work by the maintenance staff. As well, and not sure if it was to offset the conditions (if it was, good on you) or if it was a season opening special for a few months, but every time I played a round, I received a $10 coupon towards my next round. Can't complain about that, thank you very much! If you book as a single, or two-some, expect to get grouped up with others if it is busy. However, this is a great way to meet new people. And now with a loyalty rewards program ... Keeps getting better. See you my next round!

Frank Branker SR

Kim Potvin

Sept 26/21 update : golf today and am very to happy to sat it was a great day on the course. My experience was100% better than the first visit. Thank you Rob for taking the time to provide great customer service and care. You address all my previous concerns and the complimentary game went beyond great service. Thank so much. We'll be back before close of season! 5 STARS ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? Myfirst visit. Was recommended to go and very disappointed. It was sooooo over booked. So many people on the course. Our foursome had all experienced golfers. The Marshall was constantly telling us, group before and after us to speed up. The Marshall even basically parked his cart twice on my tee box and waited for me to drive. Very unprofessional. Apparently we were 6-7 minutes behind where we should be. Seriously???? The place was packed. I was also at one point on the tee box and another golfer from another hole had hit in front of my tee box. Not the issue...it became an issue when I was clearly ready to drive my ball this woman drove her cart in front of the tee box and hit her ball. Completely oblivious to the fact I was driving my ball. Absolutely no golf etiquette. The only positive part of the game was the after golf meal at the restaurant. Food was outstanding!

Loved the 18 course, havent tried the 9 hole course yet. Very well maintained and if you're hungry or thirsty they will deliver to you mid course! I dislike that there isnt much of a pro shop.

Nicholas White

Great course with nice carts that have a ball and club washer right on them. Only disappointing thing was there customer service as some staff were unfriendly.

Edward Grey

Leo Carvery

Great 9 hole course, friendly staff great food. 5 Stars all the way.

Jason Dickinson

Very nice little course. Great staff.

Brendan McHale

I played the nine hole course and it was fine. The problem was that there was a really slow group, starting on the third hole, they backed everyone up. Nothing was said until they were on the 8th hole and four groups were waiting for them to finish. Nice course, but I’ll go elsewhere.

Jamie Rogers

18 holes, course well maintained, beautifully green with all the rain, weather perfect, not busy so pace good. Great early morning tee-time.

Ron Bradimore

J To the Nine

Here's a story for you. I just tried to book a 4some for October 21 at Metcalfe and was told they "can't book more than 7 days in advance because it would open them up to all kinds of people calling in and booking too early". Isn't that what reserving a spot is about?? Calling in advance?? So instead of booking my 4some at Metcalfe, (because Lord knows I don't want them bombarded by other people who want to golf that day), I found another course to book us in. Way to go Metcalfe for turning away 4 paying customers!!

Bryan Gagnon

Unfortunately my experience wasn't good at all. I called and booked a tee time for 5:04 for my wife and two kids. I wanted to play 18 holes and the pro-shop informed me of a special they had going on for a family of 4. This included the round of golf, and one cart that sat 4 people. When I got there I was told the special was for only 9 holes and not 18 like I first inquired about. I calked it up to a miss understanding, regardless we took the 9 holes and paid the special price of $70 plus tax. It was once we got out and saw the cart for the first time that made us really laugh. The 4 person cart was a utility cart that sat four people but didn't have a place for our clubs. We needed to pile the clubs in the back on the cart laying them down on top of each other. When I asked about getting two real golf carts instead of this utility cart I was informed by the pro-shop guy that they had already asked the boss and that he said no... This indicated to me that even the pro-shop attendee knew this setup was ridiculous as he asked his boss even before I got there. None the less, we piled our clubs into the cart and headed off. At first, things started off O.K as we were all laughing at the ridiculousness of the cart and the fact that we were only playing 9 holes. None the less, we were trying to make the most of our experience but things only got worse from there. After 4 holes the marshal came around and said the juniors were on the course now and we would need to speed it up... Two problems with this; 1st. we only had one cart with four people in it and we weren't hitting the ball to the same spot on the course, which meant more driving around the course. 2nd; we were well below our allotted time to finish 9 holes. We were on pace to finish the round in just under 2 hours, yet we had the marshal pushing us along (not fun at all). All in all, we tried to make the most of a really bad experience at this golf course. I happen to live in the area and I am a golfer that gets out around 40 times a year and this was my second time to this course. All though the course was in half descent condition I would never recommend this course to anyone given my experience. There is way better courses out there for the money and from what I've seen, better trained staff. This is my very first review of any course and that should tell you something about my experience. at this course. I must say, we did stay for food and my meal was good as was my kids meals, my wife's on the other-hand, not so much. All and all our waitress was wonderful and I do give her 5 stars and the restaurant 3 1/2 stars.

Mike Karlovcec
