Beautiful
I stayed at near by hotel so I played two days. 1st day I was able to reach all par 5s in 3 shots, but 2nd day wind was around 15/20mph and it was in my face on every par 5s which made it barely reachable in 4. No wind and you will have good round, with wind I hope you have built in strong character to deal with failure:))))) All in all this is so beautiful golf course. Challenging but fair.
Good Round
Enjoyed my round, the greens were aerated but this was posted on the site so it did not come as a surprise. It also said that breakfast was included. When my buddy and I went to the pro shop to check in we were advised that no, breakfast wasn't included. Didn't make it a great start to the day but the golf was good.
Take 2 weeks off
The greens were aerated 2 weeks ago and they need another 2 weeks. Great lay out, enjoyable round on a beautiful day.... Take the time to play Marshes, but wait until the end of the month....
Marshes Ottawa
Played this course twice during Canadian Victoria Day May long weekend. First time on this course, was visiting family in the region. Excellent and challenging layout with a variety of holes from short to bomber long, left and rights, forced carries and choices on shot strategy.
Very good team of staff from cart jockeys to pro shop to the team on course.
Note to all readers and regular players of this course....please be courteous and repair divots on the greens, it only takes a few seconds and will keep this course in top notch shape for all.
Cheers

Very enjoyable round
Interesting layout with two fairways on some holes,the six each-par 3,4,5 never experienced before,we played with a married couple that we just met and enjoyed their company
Thanks for the 5-star review haughian! Glad you enjoyed the layout and the company. See you again sometime soon.
Excellent condition
Excellent condition. Friendly staff. Interesting layout. Really fun play there
Thanks for the 5-star review nancychen! Glad you found the conditions excellent and had fun out there on the course. See you again sometime soon.
Poor Codition
For the expected cost to play the course one would expect above average course conditions. Unfortunately expectations were not met. The tee boxes were all "chewed up", the fairways were full of old divots and the greens were rough, long and still contained aeration holes. It appeared that the greens were aerated but were not "sanded' after aeration. For a nicely designed course it is unfortunate that the course condition was so poor. All-in-all , the only saving grace was the 'HOT DEAL' price and my ability to cash-in one of my bonuses. If I have to pay the "regular" price I will opt not to book a tee-off time.
Thanks for the 3-star review Marcel3446248! Your feedback is helpful for our team to stay motivated and always work towards providing the best conditions. I took a look at our maintenance schedule on the days leading up to your round and here is some info. Leading up to your day of play we had 8 of 10 days of rain, the course was cart path only for 2.5 weeks in a row and our mowers were unable to reach many areas. We are working on a better way to inform golfers of the current conditions without scaring them away. We’d like to set the correct expectations for course conditions and your feedback is helpful in us finding a way to do so. We apologize you caught us during a bad stretch and we all hope to see you back again sometime soon at The Marshes.”
Nice track.
Good day, very hot, could use some water on the course, but that would be my only complaint. Greens were quick and rolled true. Fairways well manicured. Well worth the value on Golf Now.
Thanks for the 4-star review Mark80! Thank you for your feedback about the water and glad you enjoyed the course conditions. See you again sometime soon.
Championship golf course, links style
Expensive course unless a hot deal. But worth playing though. Well maintained championship greens and fairways. Will challenge any golfer. Large undulating greens and plenty of water hazards but fair.
Thanks for the 5-star review willbean! Thank you for your feedback about the conditions of the course. Glad you were up to the challenge out there. See you again sometime soon.
Both Beautiful and Challenging
Wife and I played with 2 marshals on their day off. They were friendly and excellent guides around this tough layout. Course condition was excellent: fairways, greens, and bunkers. Lots of water, wetlands, and trees. No two holes the same. This course will challenge any golfer, but you won't finish feeling beat up. Recommend if your in the area.
Thanks for the 5-star review FlyingChief! What a great review and glad the marshals were on their best behavior for you. Can you approve us to use this review in our promotional materials? See you again sometime soon.
Marshes
Course in great condition. GREAT DAY.
Thanks for the 5-star review Philroberts43! Thank you for your feedback about the conditions of the course. Nice to hear you had a GREAT DAY. See you again sometime soon.
great day at the Marshes
Everything was as expected. Course was in very good shape. Very challenging. The only issue we had was there was only 1 cart girl. With 35 degree C temperatures, not near enough on course service.
Overall a really good day.
Thanks for the 4-star review bayviewwindows! Thank you for your feedback about the staff. Glad you had a really good day. See you again sometime soon.
Great course, pace of play is unacceptable
This course is really above average in all areas , greens and fairways are in excellent condition !
There were many marshals on the course to enforce the pace of play however there was no change. We were a group of 4 with carts, we played 18 holes in a record time of five hours and twenty five minutes, very disappointing, always looked forward to splurging at the Marshes a few times a year
Great day
Course was in great condition. It was very busy but still moved at a good pace. The day was amazing.
Nice track
Would play here again in a heartbeat.
Thanks for the 5-star review jau123! We are always trying to encourage our team to keep up the good work so please let us know if there was anything that stuck out while you were here. See you again sometime soon.
