My play today not withstanding, This course is quite enjoyable. Again, a lack of tee box repair…read morekits, and an added element of Highway 417 very close by, is a 4-star rating. the oak & maple trees turning in the autumn make the scenery beautiful, but cause extreme havoc finding your white golf ball. The back nine holes have pine trees and a scattering of maple and oak leaves, but the scenery is once again, top notch for golf in the Ottawa area. The pro shop is small in comparison to other courses I've played, but it doesn't take away from the quality, and the courtesy of the staff. the snack area is well stocked as well, and there is a restaurant on the premises (I didn't eat there). For the golfers, I recommend the course, it is an easier course according to the scorecard, in comparison to the other courses I've played and reviewed, but still an excellent course nonetheless.

Becoming a self-proclaimed golf aficionado, I am somewhat of a traditional golfer, believing that…read moretee boxes need to be repaired by the golfers themselves. Any golf course that lacks this I can't give it a 5 star rating, but Renfrew gets a strong, VERY STRONG, 4 star rating overall. I played on a Saturday afternoon, and ended up pairing up with another single golfer, then we were met by 2 more on the 1st tee for a proper foursome. That is never a problem. It was my golf game this particular round that was the problem, but that's not the purpose of my rating. The maple and oak trees had its leaves turning their traditional autumn colors and it only enhanced the beauty of this course. It is about 1 hour drive west of Kanata, but so worth the drive. (Secretly I'd have driven 3 or 4 hours for this one!) It was a busy day for golf, with the unseasonably warm weather in late September, and ended up being a 5 hour long round. I don't mind, I've had longer rounds. The putting green is located a stone's throw from the pro shop and clubhouse, and the pro shop is very well stocked with accessories and your necessary equipment. Normally, a course has its first hole as a somewhat easy par 4, but Renfrew is different. BUT, it was easier than most of the other 17 holes I can attest to that. Undulating fairways, and the most wicked green on the back 9 I have ever seen in my life!!! (I 2 putted and was quite ecstatic on that account). Course management most definitely needs to be top notch playing here. If I decide to play a course more than once during my stay here, it would be Renfrew. A tee box repair kit on each hole would warrant a true 5-star rating

This time I did golf. I LOVED IT!!!!! I'm so surprised I…read moreloved it, this is going to be an expensive hobby. I need to find a weekend to go back again. It was unreal. Loved the course, so much fun. There are 9 holes there. We didn't have to wait at any of the holes except the very last one and not very long. They have beer for sale in the club house and there's an outhouse at the 6th hole. I cannot wait to go back again!

Great golf course friendly staff, the course is well maintained and challenging…read more My son in law's bachelor golf party was here they were very accommodating to the entire golf party & when they found out our son in law and 2 of his friends were active military the owner gave all 3 of them a free round of golf! The little restaurant they have is a great place to grab a sandwich & cold beer after 18 holes. They are welcoming to all skill levels of golfers.

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!
