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.

Thank You Very Much brogers1977.

We 100% agree with your comment "worth the drive from Ottawa"

We may be a tad farther then some course in The Ottawa area, but look on the bright side, you don't have to battle traffic lights, traffic and city building views.

Nothing but clean driving with fantastic views, then you end up golfing an amazing course and hanging out with The Dragonfly Team for a few hours.

Look forward to seeing you soon :)

Great ay to Golf

Dragonfly is a good course. With the rain recently it has greened up quite nicely. Like most courses around it still needs some more heat for the greens to be good but they survived the winter pretty good.

Had a great time. Was paired with 2 members and we had a good time. Sun came out and a bit of wind kept thebugs away.

Hello robertgeorge,

We are so glad that you had a great time with our 2 members the day you came for a game.

We did notice that you gave a 3/5 stars for "pace of play" for a round of 4 hour 15 minutes.

I reviewed the tee sheet for the day and I noticed that we had the High School gym glass out that day and a normal round on a very busy day would be 4 hours 30 minutes. On the day you came and played you should have been done in less the 4 hours or around the 4 hour mark.

If you have any issues with this please call Andrew at 613-432-3838 he would love to talk to you in regards to this.

Overall it looks like you had an amazing time and we are very happy about this.

Thanks for your comment as we are always looking to improve our service for all our golfers.

A beautiful round!

Being from Northern California and having played courses around the world and the United States I am particular about courses. Dragonfly offers some tight and picturesque lies. I was very pleased with the layout and the distinct difference between the front and back nines. Beautiful scenery abounds and the elevations on the back nine were very.challenging. I'll be back. The prices were excellent and it was a great day overall. Incredibly wonderful and friendly staff.

Great greens, ok course layout

The course layout, in my mind doesn't stand out. Some holes are blind and you're staring at bush. I believe that a hole should guide your eye towards the green/flagstick. The owners have planted trees on the first and second hole which will help as they have the potential to be great holes. The positives are that the greens were awesome, barely any ball marks, and there are some fun holes. Things I dislike about this course and any course is having to walk back 20 yards to get to the tee deck. It's a pet peeve.
All in all, awesome greens, great value but don't expect a championship golf course.

Can I give it 6 stars?

This was the best course I've played in the courses I've played in Ontario and Quebec yet. This is also the most difficult course I have played.

The course came highly recommended by others from the area that golf, and it truly did not disappoint. From the 1st tee to a photogenic 18th tee, this course is absolutely phenomenal. There is truly not a single negative I can find with this course. The tee boxes all have repair kits, the greens are immaculately well kept, and the fairways are exceptional. The rough, where I found myself plenty during my round, is just that. Rough.

With the change in Autumn and the leaves turning, this is the best time to play. The weather was magnificent today, and the scenery is unparalleled.

All of the staff I encountered and talked with today were extremely cordial and professional, capping off a perfect day of golf

I will without a doubt recommend this course to anyone and everyone I talk with, it was well worth the 1 hour drive to get there.

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.
