Thunderbird Sports Centre boasts Ottawa's only lighted par-3 golf course. The family-friendly course is ideal for beginners and juniors. The nine-hole layout has a classic design that is not overly formidable but it's great for sharpening your short game and course-management skills regardless of skill level. Water comes into play only on the second hole but there are bunkers protecting nearly all of the greens and some holes are framed by mature trees. It's a golf course that can accommodate a wide range of skill levels, from juniors just beginning to learn the game to more advanced players who want to squeeze in a quick round. The golf course is open well into the evening and the affordability makes it doubly appealing. Thunderbird Sports Centre is s also conveniently located less than 25 minutes from downtown Ottawa.

Great Par 3 Course

A lot of fun to go for a night golf round here or during the day, bring food and drinks though as there are no at the course facilities whatsoever.

Really well maintained - a pleasure to play

This is just to add my voice to the chorus of Praises for this wonderful Gem of a course that provides one and a half to two hours of respite from the covid-19 Siege. Everything from the tees to the traps to the fairways to the greens are kept in Tip-Top shape five star condition just like you find at a full length course like Kanata Lakes or Equinelle.

Beautifully groomed course.

We had a great game. Perfect for practicing shorter hits. Well maintained course. We play here often. Highly recommend it. The course is located next to a driving range and down the road from the Cheshire Cat, a wonderful spot for lunch or dinner or drinks. Two thumbs up all around.
