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.

A Real Gem

I made a mistake with the date when I booked through a third party online. We arrived at the course and the very friendly staff informed me on the error.
They bent over backwards to remedy the situation with me and got us out playing in only a few minutes.
Needless to say, I am impressed with the customer service. The course is a real treat too, my brother in law was visiting from B.C. and loved it so much we played two days in a row. Many Thanks!

great value for the $

This course is probably the best conditioned, and best value for the $ in the entire Ottawa Valley area.
The greens were mint, the fairways carefully manicured, even the tee boxes were still in good shape after a busy summer. The holes are quite unique, especially on the back nine. The staff were friendly, and the service great. Well done DragonFly you gave us a great day.

Hello,

We are so glad you had a great day with us.

We have taken note of lending a towel out on "rain days" and will bring this up at our next management meeting to see if this is something we can put into policy for those days when the rain comes and goes. This is the feedback we love to get, to make sure that we are providing the best possible experience for all our golfers.

Thank You for the comment that are course is "SUPER" this we love seeing this.

We are hopeful you can sneak out before year's end and get another round with us, fingers crossed it is a sunny day for you and your partners.

Our Favourite Golf Course in the Ottawa Area

Absolutely love Dragonfly. Has enough of a challenge to make it interesting and work on some of my own, um, faults. But also relaxed and friendly enough that you don't feel an enormous amount of pressure. A beautiful natural looking course. Our only complaint is the beverage cart - the prices are high for what you get and the isn't much food selection. The beverage cart girl could probably improve on customer service. That being said, the food and the service at the clubhuse are really, really good. So given the choice I wait until we are at the clubhouse before food or beverages.

We do take these comments very serious and want to resolve it sooner then later.

We hope that we have helped you out in this matter and Andrew will look forward to speaking with you also.

Fantastic, Friendly Staff, at a moderately difficult course

This course is a lot of fun as long as you stay out of the rough. I found the rough to be very challenging and I lost many balls in it because the grass is thick and deep.

The staff were incredible. They treated us as if we were members, even though we were simply GolfNow customers.

We took advantage of the "all you can golf" and managed 34 holes before dark. This was a great deal!

Would I golf here again? That depends on whether I can stand to lose a dozen golf balls again.

Over all, a great experience... but if you plan to golf here either bring lots of balls, or plan to be looking for your ball many times!

Hello RevJay,

Thank You for the amazing comments. Love it!

To us you are NOT GolfNow customer, you are our members! Everyone who walks through our doors are treated like family.

As for the rough's, yes I agree. Our rough mower broke a week and half ago, we were out for 4 days until our rental came in, then we had to play catch up on the rough. Sorry about this. We are now just almost caught up with only a few more holes to go.

Thank You so much for the feedback it goes a long way for us to improve our service to all our golfers who come out for the day.

Love this course, beautiful scenery with the dragonflies

The rating for the pace was due to a foursome who were a mix of intermediate and beginner golfers and never felt the need to let a twosome (us) pass through. The marshal was very concerned and very considerate to make sure people allowed for those to go forward. But I kill time searching for balls.

Hello stewysteph,

I am extremely happy with all your great feedback here you have provided.

As I stated in another comment in regards to this day (copy & paste) I noticed you did give us a 1/5 on pace of play. I will not argue that for the day you played. We had our Father's Day Special on that day and there was many kids on the course with their dads, Normally we get you off on a busy day in 4 to 4.5 hours on a busy day. I am so HAPPY that this did not "ruin" your round and that you understood the situation.

We are very Happy that are Marshall's were working hard at trying to resolve the issues and that you understood the situation. We THANK YOU for that :)

We look forward to you joining us again very soon.

Wow, great experience!

Wow, what a great experience.
Was greeted by staff in a very friendly manner and was showed around as this was my first time golfing at Dragonfly.
Course was in great shape and it has many challenges. You are punished if you miss the fairway and each green has slopes which make them difficult. Fairways and greens were excellent and if you miss them it is actually thick grass, not weeds or clover.
Manager actually drove out in his cart to ask us how our round was going, what a nice welcoming touch.
I will definitely be back and it was well worth the 50 minute drive from Kanata/Stittsville area.
Thanks for a great round of golf!
