Royal Ottawa Golf Club

The Royal Ottawa Golf Club is a private golf club in Gatineau featuring an 18-hole championship course that stretches across 6,600 yards (6 km) through the natural rolling terrain of the Gatineau Hills. The facility also includes a large practice area with modern hitting bays available year-round.

The club was founded in 1891, and its original course was designed by Tom Bendelow of Chicago and later revised by British Open champion Willie Park Jr. These early design influences continue to shape the layout.

The club runs training programs for golfers of all skill levels, building an active golf community in the region. Players gather here regularly for practice and competition, which shapes the social fabric of the place.

The course sits in a hilly area requiring different preparation depending on the season. Training facilities are available year-round, though the best playing season runs from May through October.

Members can play at international golf clubs through reciprocal privileges at more than 60 clubs across multiple continents. This significantly expands playing opportunities around the world.
