Hammond

Hammond Golf Club sits in the small community of Hammond, Ontario, about 40 kilometres east of Ottawa in the heart of the National Capital Region. The area is defined by the broad Ottawa River valley, flat agricultural land, and the kind of unhurried rural atmosphere that has long made eastern Ontario a quiet counterpart to the busier golf corridors closer to the city. The club draws a mix of local regulars and Ottawa-area players looking for a more relaxed round away from the capital's bigger, higher-profile layouts.

At par 72, the course follows a traditional full-length format, and the surrounding farmland terrain typical of this part of Russell County shapes the playing experience — expect open exposure to the prevailing winds that sweep across the valley, which can quietly add difficulty that no number on a scorecard fully captures.

Hammond represents the kind of community golf that anchors rural Ontario: unpretentious, accessible, and genuinely tied to the people and landscape around it. For visitors, it offers an honest round in a part of the province that rewards those willing to venture a little east of the obvious.
