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.

Terrific "golfers" layout!

If you are a true golfer, you'll enjoy the course design which depending on your choice of tees is very challenging. The well kept greens maintained a similar pace throughout, however the tee decks and fairways require some work. The staff were all very good and customer service was terrific throughout the day. As the course matures I would expect the quality of the fairways to improve over time.

Nice, but eats balls

The course was in very good shape, greens were nice and fast. Only issue the rough on every hole is long grass that has laid down, making it impossible to find balls even when they just trickle off the fair way.

Great deal for the money, best kept secret for sure in the area.

Holes are well laid out, no interference with others while playing.
Quite challenging although most par 4's were somewhat the same, 385 yards and a dogleg, probably 8 out of 18
The course was in great shape, both on the greens and fairways.
Quite nice to have level tee blocks for a change
All in all will probably play course again in future and would definitely recommend it to others.
Staff very friendly and courteous, kudos to them.

watch out for # 15

All holes have their unique challenges but are certainly makeable in regulation.
The greens and fairways are in excellent condition.
Tees are also good with hole layouts and ball washers at every one, making it easy for first timers.
I thoroughly enjoyed my round of golf here.

This course has improved a lot

We golfed at this course a few years back and it was in a bad condition. We decided to try it again and I must say they have really worked hard to make this a very nice links course to enjoy. The fairways are very wide and nice and the greens just amazing. Would highly recommended this course. The staff is outstanding even the course keepers are very attentive when you are playing.

Great Layout

Playing this course is like playing 2 different courses in one day, the front 9 have a links style layout while the back 9 have tighter fairways and provide an entirely different challenge. When I played, they had just finished aerating the tee-boxes earlier in the week so they were in rough shape, but this didn't affect play much, even on the par 3's.

The course has very nice holes that will challenge your accuracy using water or bunkers to make sure you play the right club distance wise, and don't go off either left or right of the fairway.

A little ways away from Ottawa, from definitely worth the drive for the quality of the course, the price, and the super courteous staff that works at Dragonfly. Will definitely be playing this course again this season.

Fun, challenging course

Weather was light rain so 2 of us played fairly quickly as it wasn't too busy.. Front appears wide open but the edges eat up anything that gets close. The back has a lot of sloped fairways and blind shots, easy to end up in the wrong place. Greens are a bit slow but consistent and in good shape.

I will definitely play there again.

What I enjoyed the most with this course, is that you start on the links side of the course where everything is opened and fairly level playing field which is a great warm up then you move to the second nine which is more of the rolling hills and the degree of difficulty increases which is fantastic.

The course has lots of interesting features that make it an enjoyable mix of links style flat areas and romps through the Canadian Shield.

The course was in pretty god shape with the greens rolling quite quickly. There were lots of opportunity to experience the links style of course in the front nine and a forested shield style of course in the back nine. It is definitely a course to come back and play again.

This course has some really fantastic holes beautifully layout with lots of different looks to keep you excited. The course is in great shapes for its age and in a few years will mature well ahead of its years.

Under excellent conditions, this course offers a variety of challenges in fairway layouts, bunker locations and nastily fast and sloped greens.
