Oaks of Cobden Golf Club

I have played this course hundreds of times over the years. The manager has been there for far too long and needs to go.

My recent round on Sunday Sept 20, 2024, I teed off at 11:33 a.m. the front 9 took just under 3 hours, which was totally unacceptable and put our group in a position where we would be unable to finish 18.

We went into the proshop and requested a raincheck after going to the 10th teebox and seeing there were 4 groups ( 5 including us) on the 10th hole .

Kerrie, the manager, was extremely rude and hostile and told us to leave and that it was nice day out and therefore no refund or raincheque would happen.

We politely advised her that this would be our last round at this course as this is unacceptable.

Kerrie then took it upon herself to contact the workplace of one of our group to say we arent welcome at this course anymore.

The course is a very nice course, in decent shape, but 102$ for a round here is far too expensive, and 6 hrs for a round of golf is simply unacceptable.

Kerrie the manager has a reputation now for being extremely rude, condescending, abusive towards her staff , just a generally unpleasant person.

This USED TO be the best course in the ottawa valley, but this terrible manager has unfortunately ruined that.

Nice course and good value. Tee boxes were in rough shape. Fairways were nice and green a few patchy/damaged areas that don't look like they are fixing. Greens were good mostly green some damaged spots on most of the greens. The greens played fast. Course lay out is great and very scenic and mature course. Pretty challenging with some tight Fairways. Staff were very friendly and they have a nice clubhouse with and upper level all glass looking over the 18th green. Dont think I'd drive there again to play but would recommend giving it a try.

I loved the course. It was in great shape. The greens were superb and true. The value was exceptional. My only negative takeaway was the threesome in front of me (I played as a single) did not allow me to pass through. They had no one in front of them but had me on their tails all day. Yes, I should have asked them but after 9 holes I just gave up on the idea and kept my distance. The marshal who drove around should have recognized what was happening and helped out. That was my only beef.

Oaks of Cobden is the most expensive course in the area, Renfrew courses and Whitetail are cheaper for Memberships and green fees. No practice facility and no pro and no open kitchen, no amenities. Course is usually not in good shape until August, as a rule the greens are super slow and it is not a championship course. This is a $ 850 dollar membership course and 35 dollar green fee at the best of times. The course is worth playing if rates are low and coupons are involved, not worth 46 dollars green fee. Talked to members and they are not happy with the membership rates, its all about the bang for your buck. The speed of the greens are kept slow, after August and September the greens are in the best shape they can be for Cobden. Surrounding courses are Championship courses with practice facilities and a pro and are ready from May to October and with good greens. Not sure if the owner cares about being competitive with their pricing. It shows on their website, membership is $1100 + HST $1243.00 for 2016 which is more than all the surrounding courses. Cobden has to step up to the plate one way or another for their members and green fee'ers if they want to stay successful or exist.

We were expecting a lot of fallen leaves on the ground but all playing areas had been cleaned. The greens were in excellent conditions and the fairways were very green and well groomed. Totally enjoyed playing here and well worth the drive from Ottawa. Will definitely go back in early spring. The staff was quite hospitable.

The staff were outstanding and we really enjoyed the course. Rain had made it wet and the day was cold and windy but the course was still fun.

Would love to see it with sunshine!

I enjoy playing the Oaks and I have played all courses in the Valley and I feel that the Oaks is the bet

The course is in excellent condition, the weather was great - although quite cool. Pace of play was good and the fall colours are beginning thus making the experience more beautiful. Definitely will play the Oaks of Cobden again. My husband and had a wonderful day.

I've played this course many times over the years and it's always in prime condition, well manicured, greens well maintained, a nice variety of holes, staff always friendly and accommodating. One of my favourite course in the Ottawa Valley. Worth the drive, I highly recommend it.

club house air conditioning not working upstairs, no food service except for hot dogs that had been rolling around on steamer for hours. they gave us an old cart instead of new electric one, they were parked far away for some reason. lack of staff, all students have gone back to school, the clubhouse manager was not happy about giving us the hot deal rate even though the parking lot was empty. we told her you might get potential members from the hot deal customers and stated that rarely happens. too bad beautiful course, but poor supervision is a major drawback with this course. we wanted to have dinner after the round but were unable to do so. they are like most course today that are catering too tournaments. these courses better start paying more attention to the everyday golfers if they want to survive. I can drive to other courses only kms away.

we had a great day at cobden. The fairways and the greens were in superb shape. Pace of play was a little slow on the back nine (due to groups in front of us having trouble with more difficult holes) but we still finished in just under 4 hrs..

This course has a great layout and design that allows golfers of all types to enjoy the game of Golf without worrying too much about being in too much trouble. The fairways are in great shape with very few divots and the rough is long enough to challenge every golfer. Greens in excellent shape. The course guide book is a nice addition to aid golfers with planning each shot. It gives tips for the greens which also helps.

Well maintained challenging course,nice staff.Not busy on a Thur,played in 3 hrs on a beautiful day.

Le Club de Golf Oak of Conden est un très beau parcours , bien entre-tenue.

Very impressed with scenic beauty and overall conditions of this course. Management seems to take great pride to ensure the Oaks is in top condition. Greens especially were in super shape this year. The efforts of the grounds crew has certainly paid off.

A couple of very tight holes in the back 9, but overall it's a fair but challenging course. Staff is friendly, professional and flexible. I like this course very much. Recommend.

The course was in exceptional shape for this time of year. The greens were in particularly fine shape. Overall I would describe the course as being in lush shape Great value for the money.

This is a nice course. It is well maintained and always looks good. The staff are friendly and the greens always seem to be in good shape. You can walk this course as there aren't many hills to climb and the holes are close.

fairways are excellent. impeccable greens but a bit slow.

This course is beautiful and in great shape. I will definitely be playing it again and I highly recommend it.

Considering how hot it's been the course was in fantastic shape. Staff was very friendly and refreshment cart was by frequently, enjoyed this because it was 32 c + and sunny.
