Aylmer sits on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, directly across from the capital, and Rivermead Golf Club has been part of the fabric of this bilingual border community for generations. The club traces its roots to the early 20th century, making it one of the older established clubs in the National Capital Region — a stretch of the river corridor that has quietly produced some of the most devoted golf cultures in Canada.
The setting defines the experience. The Ottawa Valley landscape offers genuine variety: mature hardwoods that turn spectacular in September, rolling terrain shaped by glacial activity, and the kind of seasons that make every round feel earned. Summers here are warm and humid, the fairways firm up nicely by July, and the fall window before the Quebec winter closes in is among the most beautiful in the country for a round of golf.
As a private members' club, Rivermead carries the particular atmosphere of a place that rewards belonging — a course its members know hole by hole, and defend with real pride.
