Royal 9 Course

The Royal 9 at Golf Royal Ottawa represents the club's expansion into Aylmer, Québec, designed by Canadian architect Graham Cooke. This nine-hole layout complements the club's historic main courses across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, providing members with additional playing options in a distinct setting. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the Outaouais region, where the landscape transitions between the Ottawa Valley and the Canadian Shield. Cooke's design works with the natural topography of the site, incorporating elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of southwestern Québec. The routing takes advantage of the property's existing features, with holes that move through a mix of open and tree-lined spaces. As a nine-hole course, it offers flexibility for members seeking a quicker round or practice opportunities while maintaining the design principles expected at a club with Royal Ottawa's long-standing tradition. The Royal 9 functions as part of the broader Golf Royal Ottawa experience, which dates back to the club's founding in 1891 as one of Canada's oldest golf institutions. While the club's championship courses in Gatineau have hosted significant Canadian amateur and professional events over the decades, the Aylmer facility provides a more intimate playing environment. The course serves the membership's varied needs, from casual play to junior programs, within the context of a club known for its contributions to Canadian golf history.
The journey to Golf Royal Ottawa begins at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW), situated roughly forty minutes northeast of the club, or alternatively through Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) for those with broader connectivity options, followed by a scenic ninety-minute drive westward into the rolling countryside of western Québec. The final leg traces the Outaouais region's quiet rural roads, where the landscape gradually softens from suburban sprawl into pastoral farmland and mature forest, the air growing noticeably fresher as you approach the Gatineau Hills. Golf Royal Ottawa emerges from this verdant setting with understated elegance - a private sanctuary where the transition from highway to tree-lined entrance signals arrival at one of Canada's most storied and discreetly guarded golf communities.
