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.

Rating 70.9

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.

First Time Playing

Fair and balanced challenge, Friendly staff

This was our first time here. My son and I enjoyed the course, good challenge, fair, greens roll nicely. The long par 5s were a bit of a struggle with my length off the tee, but still managed an up & down par on one. Staff were friendly and welcoming, food was good (toasted BLT, hotdog).

In terms of actual play, the guide was a help, but we both made some tactical errors. Better course familiarity would have saved us both a few strokes.

Looking forward to returning.

Excellent course..

We played Whitetail last week,conditions were very good and the pace of play was also good.

It’s a tough course,fair amount of forced carries and a few tight fairways,but it’s a good test,especially off the tee..

I would highly recommend playing Whitetail!

Excellent test of golf. Challenges all aspects of your game.

Tougher than I anticipated, but a fair and balanced challenge. Couple of long par 5s were a bit out of reach (1 par with chip and one putt) leading to "par 6" status. Course guide helped but local knowledge would have saved a few strokes by placing shots in better position.

Greens were very true, and fairly quick. Scenery was great. Pro shop and restaurant super, nice staff. Definitely worth another go.

Excellent course in beautiful condition..

We hadn’t played Whitetail in a few years,quite happy we came back and played it on Monday!

The course is in excellent condition,greens are fast but fair,pace of play was very good.

The layout is very challenging,I will never play to my handicap because of the amount of forced carries and fairly precise drives required on some holes.

But it’s a great course and we will be back again before the end of the season-highly recommend it!

Gem in the valley

Whitetail is worth the extra travel time to get to this gem.

My one and only knock is that we chose to walk the course. There are a lot of elevation changes, especially going from the greens to the next tee which can wear you out some. Spend the extra $$$ and rent a cart

Best Golf Course in Ottawa Valley and Beyond

Played Whitetail for the first time this year, and this course just keeps getting better every time we play it. The greens were fast and true and the staff are very welcoming. We really enjoyed our day and it is definitely worth the drive.

Great course. Great differences in elevation. Challenging holes. Nice tee boxes. Fairways in great condition and big well manicured greens the run true and fast. I recommend this course to anybody within an hour of the course. It took me an hour and 22 mins to get there from Ottawa amd the course was absolutely worth the drive.

Great Ontario Hidden Gem

Everything (except my Game) was perfect. I had some back trouble so it to be expected. A challenging walk. Very fast but true greens. Each hole has a description plate that was very well made and accurate. Staff was friendly, start to finish. Played it a dozen years ago and forgot how great it was.

Beautiful Course

Whitetail is a beautiful country golf course and in wonderful condition! This particular day we quit on the 12th hole as it was almost a 3 hour front nine and the logjam was getting worse! It’s the first time this has happened and it was men’s day but perhaps a course ranger or two might help.

My Favourite Course Overall

Whitetail offers a great 18 holes that challenges you at every skill, whether it be placement or distance. I would pick this course over any course I’ve been too. If you are in the Ottawa area or the Ottawa Valley, it is definitely worth the drive.

Round cancellation and follow-up

Unfortunately I had to cancel my round. I did not see a way to cancel the round onilne; so I called the course to cancel. I did not receive a cancellation notice via e-mail, but did continue to receive other e-mails, including a reminder before the scheduled time and a "thank you" for playing. This disconnect was a bit concerning because I did not want. my credit card to be charged although I had cancelled my round before the 24-hour deadline. I recommend that the on-line process be adjusted to better facilitate cancellations and follow-up.
