About
Dragonfly Golf Club is located in the upper Ottawa Valley in the town of Renfrew, which sits along the Bonnechere River. The course sprawls across rolling hills speckled with exposed rock faces, mature trees, and sparkling blue ponds, all of which come into play throughout. The scenic surroundings can be distracting because of the panoramic views overlooking the Ottawa Valley, but the design will demand your attention. The front nine has a traditional links layout while the back nine plays more like target golf. Despite offering two unique nines, they blend together seamlessly to form a golf course that will test all of your shot making skills. In addition to the golf course, Dragonfly has a driving range with 20 hitting stations and the option of tee matts or natural grass. Chipping and putting greens with a practice bunker are also available adjacent to the range.

Renfrew Gem
Being from Florida, I found Dragon Fly a refreshing change due to its hills and slopes. I found the course very challenging but fair. The fairways are wide and the greens roll fast and smooth. You rarely have a straight putt. The pace of was good and the staff could not be more friendly. It's a little tricky to find but well worth the drive into the Renfrew country side.
Scenic back 9
The course is in excellent shape - the price was awesome thru golf now..The pace was slow, but understandable as it was a Sunday of a long weekend, and since the weather was so pleasant, we just enjoyed the afternoon .
Cannot comment on the food as we did not have anything to eat..
The staff are very pleasant, friendly and accommodating .
Dear eabayne23
Thanks for taking the time to post a comment. Your feedback is very important to us. Happy to know you enjoyed your day. We are continuing to try to be better at addressing pace of play issues as we know they can adversely affect the total experience of the day.
Best regards,
The Dragonfly team
Very interesting golf course
Second time playing here and always enjoyable. The staff is really friendly and the course conditions were great. Some interesting challenges along the way makes this course worth the drive from Ottawa.
Dear valued Customer
We are glad that you agree that we are "Worth the Drive"!
Thanks for your post and I am always happy to pass on feedback like yours to our maintenance and service staff.
Best wishes!
The Dragonfly Team
Friendly staff and very nice course !
Course was well kept and provided an enjoyable experience. Greens were well groomed and fast. Liked having the cart on the course. Second half was a little slower because we were following some inexperienced golfers, but they have to start somewhere... and this is a great course for that purpose because of the different tee off options.
Hi Suzanne
Thanks very much for your comments! Your satisfaction makes us very happy! We hope that more newer golfers will give our forward tee options a try. We truly aspire to offer something to all skill levels of golfers.
Please visit us again soon!
Sincerely
The Dragonfly team
Beautiful day at the Fly
Course was in good condition but starting to dry out as expected in late July. Greens were running fast so caution required to avoid 3 putts. Beer cart service was excellent!
Dear valued customer.
No issues with drying out now thanks to mother nature. I will be happy to pass on your comments to our superintendent and bar cart team! Thanks for your post!
Hoping for a long hot fall,
the Dragonfly team
Rolling hills
This course has some very nice holes that take you up and over rolling hills and valleys. Nice layout, somewhat challenging and in nice condition. :)
Dear Lobban1
Thanks for your comments! We hope to see you soon - the course has never been better!
Best wishes

Great Day
we were 3 seniors from Ottawa and had a great day on the golf course, course was in great shape and has 4 different tee blocks so you can play the distance you like for your handicap.
Dear valued Customer.
Thanks for the post and happy to know you had a great day with us! As you mentioned we are proud to offer 6 sets of tees for golfers of all skill levels. We think birdies and pars are more fun than bogeys and "others". Check us out on Wednesdays where Seniors can play 18 holes for only $17!
Happy Golfing!

way too slow,
nice course, play here several times a year, they seem to be overbooking the tee off times. if you book on golf now they just seem to fit you in whenever, did not like that the course marshalls were playing during the day when it was busy and a kids tournament was on. if you have a kids tournament, just close the course to regular players, the pace of play was way too slow, walked off the course at 15 after 5 hours on the course. not sure if I will go back. I know you want to attract more kids into the sport, but don't forget about the people that are paying your bills now.
Dear Lintnek
We are very sorry that you did not have a positive experience with us. Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance.
While I am curious to know which day you played I can tell you that we have not had a kids golf tournament here this year. I can also assure your that we do not "fit in' golfnow golfers. Golfnow golfers tee- times are booked on the our one and only tee sheet. Golfnow customers are a valued part of our success story and we hope that you come back to give us another try. Please contact the GM before re-booking as he personally wants to see to your satisfaction
Sincerely
The Dragonfly team
Great for beginners and pros. A variety of yardage
Had my two grandnephews 13 and 12, beginners last year and they loved the course. The price was unreal with golf now. This week is take a kid to the course so they played for free. Had a wonderful day...We played Dragon Fly twice this week and had a blast.
Dear bigbertha1
We love seeing young golfers at our course! Thanks for giving us a try. We also love that you used web booking to get yourself a great deal! We also have great prices if you book on our website @ dragonflygolf.com. Hope to see you soon!

Best kept secret in east Ontario
Undulated green, fast green, Thick rough, wide fairway. Club house need some improvement but if you ask me, i like a good condition golf course over a nice club house...
Best "Bang for Buck" in Ottawa Valley
This was not my first time playing Dragonfly however it has been a while and I was happy to return.
The deal through GolfNow was outstanding full 18 holes with cart for under $20/person.
Overall, the course is in really good shape. The fairways was wide open and are harder than Chinese math so if you hit a long ball you will not be disappointed. Plenty of opportunity to use driver off the tee.
The greens are rock hard as well which made it difficult to get close to the pin but to be fair I am an awful golfer so getting close to the pin is challenging on any course.
The pace slowed down on the back nine however that is of no fault to the course...if people are slow then there really isnt much you can do about it.
The staff was fantastic, food was good and they had "Farmer's Daughter" on tap...what more can you ask for??
If you have never played then give a shot, I am confident you will agree that this gem of a course is extremely under rated.
Cold day, great round
My husband and I played this course for the first time today
It was in great shape and we would definitely return.
Good challenge
Course is still coming in after winter and the greens were still a little slow and the grass still needs a couple of weeks.
Course also has lots of character on the back nine. Worth the trip from Ottawa
Beautiful Course. Poor Management
Beautiful course. Poor management.
We loved the course and the service was excellent. However, while we were at the clubhouse, we witnessed the course pro/manager treat one of the servers with complete disrespect. As we ate our food, we heard him swearing at her and saw him being offensive for an insignificant reason. This was completely unprofessional to see a manager talk/act like that towards a waitress/employee. I would definitely golf the course again knowing he was demoted or fired. Five star on the course and service, minus 5 on the management.
Fall golf
very few on course allowed us to play our own pace.
Hello 4sports,
It is great to see you had an enjoyable round with us. Yes as the year wraps up fewer golfers are on the course which allows for a more relaxed game with the fall colors.
We are so happy you enjoyed your golf game with us and look forward to you joining us again.
Thank You
Team Dragonfly
Good Scenic Course
Course in great condition with nice fairway and well maintained green. A hilly course with some challenge holes. Friendly staff. Will come back for sure.
Hello Robinthebirdie,
Thank You for taking the time to give us a glowing review. We are so happy you enjoyed every aspect of your day with us. Our greens crew take great pride in the work the perform. It sure shows in the fall when the course is usually not up to par, however here at Dragonfly these guys go hard on the job and it sure shows.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Thanks again
