Course Highlights
Exceptionally friendly staff and outstanding value make this course a worthwhile destination, even for golfers traveling considerable distances. The varied layout rewards repeat visits with quick greens, narrow fairways, and water hazards that keep every round engaging.

Whitetail Golf Club enjoys a landscape of rolling hills covered with mature trees, creeks, and ponds. Originally opened as a short nine-hole course, the layout was transformed into an 18-hole championship design in 2004. The update added a level of challenge to an already playable golf course. The first five holes are new, as are the last four. The layout has tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy and there are two tricky carries over water on the opening hole and the 17th. Both of these are par 3s that feature significant greenside bunkering that will test the iron play of even the most seasoned golfers. Whitetail Golf Club's sixth and 14th are two par 4s from the original nine that are particularly memorable since they play much longer than the indicated yardage.

Country Gem

My husband and I live in Ottawa and happily make the commute to Whitetail a few times each summer. This picturesque, well maintained course offers unique challenges on virtually every hole. Unlike a links course, this country gem offers holes individually carved from the surrounding woods. You will be challenged by a variety of hazards as well as undulating fairways and are likely to need every club in the bag. This is a great value for money course.

Over 5hrs

Course almost seems late recovering from a nasty winter. Some fairways are quite sparse. Have played this course when conditions were much better. This had to be an exception but our round took over 5hrs just two of us an no marshall in site.

White Tail Challenging

Course was in great shape. All holes have either elevated tee or elevated green. Walking not recommended as some long distances between holes and terrain is very hilly. Very good mix of holes. Strongly recommend playing here.

Challenge for all Levels

Great course, some risk and reward holes. Enjoy the fact that you have to think your way around the course, it is not just a grip it a rip it however there are those golden opportunities to do so. Recommend it if you enjoy a good traditional style course.

Always a treat

Have made the one hour trip here many times and have never been disappointed. Staff is welcoming and friendly (big plus).

Very challenging track with excellent, receptive greens in mid season.

2 or 3 iffy holes, but most places have those and at their prices, definitely a bargain.

First Time Playing

Definitely Not Impressed

I am genuinely mystified at the large number of positive reviews for this course:

The course is rough, unsophisticated and amateurish in design. Too many annoying natural obstacles that take the fun out of playing. First hole is a par 3....go figure.

Many bare and rocky sections on uneven or undulating fairways. Far too many ditches, bush, trees and swamp on narrow fairways which take the fun out of playing. It's almost like the owners cut corners to save money when designing the course. Greens cut way too short. Putts rolled as if on concrete. Rough areas are unkempt.

There are much better, more refined courses in the area. I do not recommend.

Hi Corgitoy,

We here at Whitetail Golf Club appriciate every review that is posted on this site. I see you played here on November 7th last year and you were unhappy with the experience. When it is that late in the season we do have a any maintenance staff anymore and the course is not up to par as the winter approaches. We would like to invite you to experience this wonderful course in prime time when the conditions are dramatically better. There is a reason why everyone writes great reviews about this course and why we were voted the #1 Public Golf Course in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec 2 years in a row. Unfortunally when it is time to shut down for the year the course standards do fall short of what they should be but that is the nature of living in Canada. Please respond to info@whitetailgolfclub.ca and we can make your next round here a pleasureable one.

Rustic Beauty

This course is a natural, rustic beauty. Lots of challenges for the average female golfer - distance and water, but worth the effort.

Worth the drive

Played Whitetail at a great rate thru Golfnow.com ($20 cart included). A course of this quality would be a deal for >$100 in any major city. Greens were fast and hard to read in spots. Course has an abundance of majestic holes and views. Will be returning this fall for the scenery and more golf.

Love this course, love the wilderness feel to it. Love how many trees there are.
Highly suggest taking a cart vs walking, lots of hills.

One of the best in the Valley

This is a great course for a nice challenge. It is not too difficult but has some challenging narrow fairways. The scenery is great and the course is well laid out. I recommend taking a cart because the walk can be long and there are some challenging hills to climb. There are also a couple shorter holes that play long because of obstacles around.

This is one of my favorite courses in the valley.
