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.

Worth the drive

Course was in nearly perfect shape. The starter was very helpful with a full rundown of what to expect on a majority of the holes. Greens were well manicured and fairly fast, but also deceivingly challenging. The pace was also outstanding as we finished 18 in four hours with very little waiting around on the tees. Well worth the hour drive out of Ottawa.

We enjoy having you at our facility. The front lets you miss the driver a bit more but I find the greens tougher on the front. Can't win them all lol.

Great course for the money!

From the entrance the course doesn't look like much but once you're out playing it; it's a beautiful design with many challenges. The shop keeper provided me with a yardage guide, which really helped with never playing the course before. There were a couple holes that once you're familiar with the hole you'd certainly play it differently. For example #10

Some of the greens didn't winter well, but all they need is some time.

rhodgson27 thanks for taking the time to do a review of our course. #10 is tough on a good day depending on the wind direction. The greens are healing more and more each day and it won't be long until they roll like the other 15 do which is fast and true. Take care.

Great Course

Excellent course! Greens played fast and all bit 3 greens were in great shape. The 3 were not terrible just had some patchy spots. Fairways were good little dry but better then most I've played this year. Front 9 is wide open links style back 9 more narrow. Staff in the pro shop, starter, and Marshall were all super cool and talk to you like you are a member!! First time I've played there and would recommend and will also be back. Nice job Dragonfly!

Dragonfly in great shape

I recently played this course and the greens and fairways are in great shape. If you find yourself just off the fairway the grass is is getting a little thicker making it more challenging. The grounds crew has done an amazing job getting the course to the shape that is in now. Well done!

I was hoping you could let me know what time you played on the 21st as we had the course closed for most of the day as it was our men's league closing tournament that day. We always want to improve our service so please feel free to call the course and we will be happy to make things right for you.

A must play course

First time playing Dragonfly and so dissappointed that we live too far to play it regularly. Beautiful, challenging course, especially the greens. Golfers must bring their A game to score well on that course. Hoping to be able to golf there again. Highly recommend it.
