The anticipation of playing golf quickens the pulse, but when you step atop the elevated tee at Eagle Creek and admire the meandering holes cut through majestic forest, your heartbeat is likely to go even faster. Opened in 1991, the only Canadian design of golf legend Ken Venturi is a bucolic rural retreat that epitomizes golf’s great duality; the course is a beautiful, soothing escape from nearby Ottawa, but it also will excite and challenge you as a stern test of golf. Venturi, a 14-time PGA Tour winner, used the magnificent land full of nature’s gifts to maximum advantage, threading fairways through 230 acres of forest, creeks and clear ponds. You will no doubt see all kinds of birds, reptiles and furry critters during your round. In 2005, acclaimed designer Thomas McBroom inlaid nine additional “inland links” holes into the mix bringing Emerald Hills to 27 holes, providing ClubLink Members with even more flexibility and variety.
At 20,000 square feet, the recently renovated clubhouse is an elegant venue for member functions, parties and weddings, especially with the spectacular view from the main dining room down on the verdant course. The private boardroom, perfect for meetings, features a walkout deck that also provides lovely views of the layout.
