Eagle Creek Golf Course ☆ Follow

Eagle Creek Golf Club is located in Dunrobin, Ontario, situated just minutes from Ottawa. The 18-hole course spans 230 acres of forested land, featuring meandering fairways that wind through creeks, clear ponds, and mature trees. Opened in 1991, it is the only Canadian design by golf legend Ken Venturi, a 14-time PGA Tour winner who utilized the natural topography to create a layout that balances scenic beauty with a stern test of golf. The course is characterized by its risk-reward strategy, offering dangerous options and easier alternatives on almost every hole. This design encourages course management for experienced players while remaining enjoyable for novices. The layout threads through the forest, integrating natural elements like water hazards and wildlife habitats into the playing experience. The signature hole is the 18th, a 573-yard par-5 dogleg that wraps around a 16-acre lake. This finishing hole tempts players to attempt a drive for the green in two shots, providing a nerve-wracking conclusion to the round. The course is widely regarded as a top facility in the Ottawa area, offering a rural retreat from the city.
