Talon at GreyHawk Golf Club

The Talon course at GreyHawk Golf Club is located in Cumberland, a community within the eastern part of Ottawa, Ontario. Designed by Canadian architect Darrell Huxham, the course occupies terrain characteristic of the Ottawa Valley region, where the landscape transitions between agricultural land and mixed forest. Huxham, who has designed several courses across Ontario and eastern Canada, typically works with the natural contours and vegetation of a site rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, and Talon reflects this approach with routing that follows the existing topography.

The course serves the Ottawa area's golfing community and operates as part of a facility that includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of modern semi-private or public-access clubs in the region. The layout incorporates mature trees, natural water features or wetlands common to the area, and fairways that require accuracy off the tee given the wooded corridors. Huxham's design philosophy generally emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green complexes and hazard placement.

GreyHawk functions as a local club where members and daily-fee players share the course, a common model in the Ottawa golf market. The facility provides standard dining and event services, and the course remains a regular venue for regional amateur competitions and club championships. Talon represents the kind of contemporary Canadian course design that prioritizes accessibility and integration with the natural environment over dramatic architectural statements.
