More nostalgia for me…read more Back in town and hadn't seen this place in over 40 years. I had forgotten its location but the big giraffe out front... this is where I used to mininputt as a kid with people no longer with us. I love that the new owner of about 10 years had kept the integrity of the mini putt area. The same little barn, humpty dumpy, church on the putt putt greens... Original, just maybe fixed up a bit. 34 acres. Long driving range. New tavern with drinks and snacks. Food truck. A putting area. Wow. My dog was welcome and we had a nice time at the tavern outer area. Serene. I'll go back. This place has great vibes for me.

Nothing spectacular for a driving range but it has everything that you need from a range. The guys there are always helpful and friendly and it's a great way to kill some time or relieve some stress :) The 19th tee also offers lessons, has demos from companies and has sales multiple times a year!

Our usual mini golf place was close so we said lets give this place a try and I am glad we did…read more This place is reasonably priced, 14$ pp for 18 holes, with 2 kids it took about 1 hour (some of the holes we did more than once). The design is great, holes are challenging, they have a great app to keep score we had a blast. The only downside is sometimes you need to wait for the people infront of you to finish the next hole or you feel bad others are waiting for you. But since there is no rush and everyone are having a good time no one cares. There is also a mini arcade to pass time if you arrived to early or need to wait for your time slot. Bottom line: great place and my kids are already asking when are we going again.

We called up and the girl had no problem that we came 10 minutes late. There are 18 holes and it takes about an hour to complete. The designs on the wall are quirky and fun!

I have been using the driving range at White Sands for about five years. One thing that bothers me…read moreis the poor layout of distance flags. Many of the prescribed yardages do not match the flags. And the designated flags on the chart do not match those in the field. Yardage boards - 50-100-150-200 etc. would be a big improvement. At the same time, the course is pristine. The golf lessons I took were conducted in a very professional way and were detailed - expensive but resulted in great improvement in my game. Come on guys, give us a better way to practice and we will keep coming back.

For a beginner golfer, who is looking to practice without the intimidating, up at 6am, playing 18…read moreholes 5 times a week golf fanatics, White Sands Golf is absolutely the perfect place to be. The course has 9 holes (all of which are par 3), a driving range as well as a practice area for chipping and putting. I have been very impressed by the prices. When you think of golf, you usually think very expensive, but the prices at White Sands are definitely decent. If you want to play nine holes, it costs only $18. The price for 18 (aka, playing the course twice) is $28.50. My favourite is the Practice and Play package. For only $22, you get a basket of balls for the driving range, unlimited use of the practice area and a game of 9 holes. This is beyond decent compared to some of the courses in the Ottawa region. They also have memberships at varying prices based on the length of commitment and offer senior's discounts. Like most courses, they also offer rentals of pull carts and clubs at a reasonable price. I usually book a tee-time just to ensure I don't have to wait, but I have dropped in on occasion and been able to tee off almost right away. There is an area inside by the registration desk that sells some clubs as well as drinks to keep you hydrated while you are on the green. While the course may not be the best maintained, it is pretty scenic and features nice greenery and ponds. Bring a visor though, the afternoon sun beats down pretty strong! I like White Sands because I do not feel the pressure to play quick and race through my game to accommodate the regulars who are far more advanced, and thus quicker at laying the course. I am able to take my time and (attempt) to respect the learning process. Golf Season is here! My clubs are polished and waiting to go and I can't wait to get out on the green. White Sands will be my first stop, as I am likely rusty after a long Ottawa winter and will need a lot of practice!

The business has been around for a while and since the mini-putt course is outside it has become quite weathered. It has not been very well maintained which adds an extra challenge to playing the course, but since the activity is so inexpensive, we quite enjoyed the extra challenge. The driving range was busy with a constant stream of new golfers. There is a noisy ball machine providing buckets of balls for the range which was used fairly regularly. There were all ages on the range from retired to families with little golfers and since the range is away from the main road, it's a safe place to have some fun with friends or practice your swing. Personally, I have never hit a long range golf ball but it looks like I will be trying it soon!

The simulators have a lot of golf courses from around the world loaded into their system already. You can also take mulligans, view replays of your shots, and warm up at their virtual driving range where you get stats like distance, degrees off center, how far your ball travels after landing, distance to the green, club head speed, degree of loft as well as others. as you play a course, the driving mats have a wide fairway mat, as well as sections on each side for simulating the rough and bunkers. you also putt right into the screen as well, with anything within 10 feet as a "gimme". I will be heading back regularly as long as the snow is in the tundra, and my game today showed me I need to get this rust off my game ASAP

It is so popular, in fact, that people like playing virtual golf when the elements outside don't let one play real golf. Thankfully for those in Ottawa's west end there is Golf-O-Max. Located in the same complex as Loblaws, the virtual golf establishment is big enough to fit multiple groups of fake golfers. You go in, pay a few and hit golf balls at a screen that looks just like an 18 hole golf course. I won't explain the entire game of golf to you, but you play each hole against however many friends you have Whit you. Simple, but it works. On top of playing the sport so many people love, there is a bar you can go to to grab a drink as you drive, chip and putt your way to victory or defeat. There isn't much bad to say about Golf-O-Max. It serves its purpose and doesn't pretend to be something else. It is there for golfers, and it serves them well.
