The Marshes is set in a very pretty location. My review is only on the event we recently attended: Y101 is working with the Golf Club to present the occasional event in the space that used to be a restaurant... presuming they still do Sunday brunch? I don't know about that. I have not been there in such very long time, and only had brunch there once or twice (although I do have to admit that they did offer an excellent brunch at the time.) However, for this event, none of the low tables were set up - only a few bar stools. Since this event started at 8:00pm, we went to dinner elsewhere with friends beforehand and ended up here. Entrance was free for this event ("Three Girls With Guitars"), but there was not a huge turnout - some people, but not as many as I had expected, considering the event was advertised on Facebook. Normally, this place itself would garner a 3- or 4-star rating, but I wasn't a huge fan of this particular event. For one thing, although there were 3 or 4 stations to get drinks, all drinks were $5.50 each whether you chose beer or wine; but at least they did have a few different choices for either one. On the other hand, and a big minus IMHO, they were not offering coffee! How bizarre, for a place that normally serves as a restaurant, to not offer coffee! What is the designated driver supposed to drink?? Worse than that, while walking around the venue, we came to one bar section that had a pathway behind it (to the kitchen, I think?) - you could see the coffee maker sitting there and easily accessible, but they were not using it! The other thing I did not like was that although the singers' voices were obviously amplified, they were not very clear when speaking. Maybe that's just me and the noise level at the time, which is to be expected. But there was a lot of banter coming from the stage; it would have been nice to hear what they had to say. And you couldn't see them very well from all angles; you had to be standing right in front of the stage to see them. There were no tables whatsoever in front. We didn't end up staying very long (less than 1 hour), which is really too bad; it's not far from home which was one thing that appealed to me in the first place - and being free to get in was another. Hopefully I will have a chance to go back to The Mashes for other more enjoyable reasons... read more

Extremely nice golf course that is used for some PGA events. The course is tough and it's the most expensive course in town. With that said you get a kart with a GPS with a button that allows staff to come find you for anything. The course is extremely well maintained with a decent clubhouse and restaurant there. read more

Course reopened to public after closing for the season. Our foursome got through 18 holes in 2 1/2 hours. Spectacular autumn scenery and wildlife set in the heart of high tech Kanata north but bordering on national capital green belt. Water and marsh everywhere probably 14 holes with trouble. A definite challenge for all caliber of golfers to appreciate from the 5 different tee decks. I'll be back again in the spring for sure. read more

My review is of playing the par 3 Marchwood course. I had called well in advance to see options. They had the Marchwood for $20 for 9 holes par 3, or $45 for 9 holes of the regular Marshes course. They also had a nice new mini putt that had just opened up. I had never played the full Marshes course while living in Ottawa but heard it was quite nice. It's location right in the middle of the Kanata high tech park is awesome for a golf fanatic. If you work in Kanata you could be at the course in 5 minutes. A great idea of Terry Matthews for a course right by the office. The Marchwood course for playing early in the season was a bit rough. They had the sprinkler on constantly on the first green and I had to call the clubhouse to turn it off. Free bottled Aquafina water was offered at the starter which was a nice touch. Overall it's what you can expect for a par 3. Not too difficult and more for the beginner. Facilities are top notch. read more

The conditions on the Par 3 Marchwood 9 hole course very sub-par. Clearly second-fiddle to the 18 hole championship course. Ok for a quick short game. read more

Be aware if you book the Marshes for a group booking, they will cancel it if they get a more lucrative private booking. I had reserved a table for 20 for my boyfriend's 40th a month ago, and they just called me to say my reservation has been cancelled as they have a private booking. So with all his family coming to town for this, and less than two weeks away, I now have to find another venue. Really terrible customer service. read more

Love spending our summer days on the Marshes golf course, but am always looking forward to going inside to the ironstone grill where they never fail to treat us with the best tasting lunch and dinners. The Buffalo chicken wraps, Chicken tortellini are my go to favorites read more

A group of ladies and I had a lunch at Marshes Golf Club. The ambiance was fine but we were seated near a door in an near empty restaurant. Many of the lunches were ok. The four of us who had the steaks were disappointed. They were chewy and had a a bit too much gristle. One lady's soup was barely warm. The very nice waiter filled my water glass from across the table and then handed another lady a steak knife blade first. The price of the steak was $25...nothing else on the plate unless you ordered it for another $2.00. :-( While the waiter was friendly the food was slow to arrive and did so in stages...soup last. Two ladies had to ask 3 times for an item. Four of us ordered Irish Coffee. We got a glass mug of coffee with whiskey in it...no whipped cream etc. But we did get a small coffee cream. Isn't there a special recipe for Irish Coffee??? All decided that we would not make much effort to go back. read more

We had breakfast there recently and we absolutely loved it. Very good food, excellent service and amazing views. Would definitely go back there again. read more

Played here on July 2. I've played here several times before and it is a nice course. Conditions are always good, but definitely starting to question the price ($105, to walk, before taxes), especially when there are several great courses in Ottawa for $70-80, like Stonebridge, Equinelle and Loch March. read more
