Review of Metcalfe Golf and Country Club

Based on many previous Google reviews I was expecting more from my experience. However, in hindsight was pleased by the service (5-star), but disappointed by the golf(1-2 stars) = 3-star overall rating.

Yes, the course (and many others in the Ottawa Valley) clearly took a beating this past winter. Greens on the front nine are awful- should be 2-put greens. Some of the fairways have faced years of neglect, improper drainage and care. Ever played through a hydro tower? If no and you want to, this is your course! This is a country course, and not a well manicured or consistently groomed course I was expecting.

On the positive side, some nice natural scenery (outside of the hydro corridor), the last few holes are in ok shape, great signage to guide your play and the staff are well organized & very friendly.
