Director of Golf
RIDEAU VIEW GOLF CLUB, Manotick, Ontario
Rideau View, one of Ontario’s top private golf clubs, was established in 1957 with an emphasis on family, inclusion, and community. Its 18 holes were designed by Canadian architects Howard Watson (current back nine, 1958) and C.E. “Robbie” Robinson (the front nine, 1961). With six sets of tees ranging from 4,970 yards to more than 7,000 yards, the course is playable for golfers of all skill levels. A large part of Rideau View’s charm is its pastoral setting. The result is a relaxing environment located in the picturesque Village of Manotick, just 25 minutes from Ottawa’s city centre.
Over the past 30 years, Rideau View has become one of the top competitive golf clubs in Eastern Ontario. In addition to a fair yet challenging golf course, golf instruction, coaching and practice are important to our membership, regardless of skill level.
In support of our members’ passion for learning and improving, we have recently completed the construction of a new $1.2 million multi-purpose practice facility designed by architect, Ian Andrew. Rideau View’s golf professionals and members also have the benefit of the latest in game improvement technology, housed in Rideau View’s Teaching Centre, a fully enclosed structure with two hitting bays equipped with garage doors which open onto the practice range.
