Thunderbird Sports Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Such a lovely little executive course! All par threes with nothing more than 188 yards I believe. Very well maintained and far enough out of the city to be nice and quiet. They have a couple carts for rent if you need one but this is a great course to walk. I've been there twice yet and will for sure be back!
Fantastic experience: Love this place for golf. There are 9 holes. All par 3s. Great For working on your short game!
Fantastic experience: Best practice 9hole
Positive experience: The only bad thing I can say is the mosquitoes are brutal. Otherwise will recommend.
Fantastic experience: My son went to summer camp here. He loved it. The staff were amazing. They were all very friendly, polite and great with the kids. Overall this is my son's favorite summer camp. He loved all the activities and always came home happy.
Fantastic experience: Great course and staff. Would recommend it to golfers of all skill levels.
Negative experience: Insanely overpriced for a Par 3 9-hole course. There are courses nearby which are cheaper and offer a full 9 hole course with Par 4s and Par 5s and they are maintained better. Not to mention it is $4 for a pull cart (many courses it is complementary if walking). Flies are a major problem on the course, every time you stop you will be swarmed. Parking lot is filled with potholes, so if you drive a sedan be weary. Overall poor experience, won’t be returning.
Fantastic experience: Good price. Great for beginners
Fantastic experience: Great facility with kind staff located inside the main building - even on weekends. Vending machines and bathrooms in main building. Benches inside Dome #1 and #2. Bring your own chairs if possible because they fill up fast. Drive slowly in the parking lot. It’s rather large but there are very energetic children running around.
Fantastic experience: Nice corse
Positive experience: Okay spot to learn
Fantastic experience: Fun par 3.
Fantastic experience: Golf at night? Sounds pretty good to me!
Fantastic experience: Pitching wedge dream. Play this course for night time& short play improvement.
Positive experience: Small par 3 course, greens and fairways are in good condition. Just too small for a good golfer.
Positive experience: Lost 1 star due to the gnats. Otherwise, great facility at a great price. Well kept and in great shape
Fantastic experience: Loved the night golf. Tee'd off at 9:40pm, well lit and well maintained
Fantastic experience: Great course...nice and quick!! No drivers required.
Fantastic experience: Can't beat the price for this type of golf. It is a short par 3 course, but the greens and tee boxes are well maintained. Nice place to practice short game but can be very slow despite the short length. This is due to the patrons being mostly beginner golfers and there were lots of non golfing kids.outmfor fathers day.
Fantastic experience: Went to play golf on Thunderbird 9 hole par 3 coarse. Beautiful coarse, the fairways and greens were well taken care of. Great coarse to play to sharpen up on your short game. It's also perfect for those of you who are just learning the game. You can walk the coarse easily or rent a cart if you need one. The scenery and landscape were very picturesque. Very reasonable price for green fees and cart. You can buy balls and tees and a few other items if you need them. They have drinks and snacks also. Thanks, Thunderbird, for an awesome morning. I'll be back!!
Positive experience: Par 3 golf course. Very good condition. Staff is very polite and efficient. Tee areas were clean, and ball wash stations were well maintained. Push carts ( 3 wheels) were clean and in great condition.
Fantastic experience: Nice par 3 course. Great for kids and beginners and for golfers looking to work on their short game. Well kept. Well organized. Nice variety of holes.
Fantastic experience: The Thursday women's league is awesome! Nice short little course. Staff are always responsive, friendly, and helpful.
Positive experience: We just played the course and I have nothing bad to say! It’s well maintained, good variety, and good for beginners or if you’re looking to practice your short shots. Staff is friendly and prices are good! The only thing I’d recommend is bug spray - we didn’t think of it and we were swarmed by flies and mosquitos. We still enjoyed our time!
Fantastic experience: Great place if you're into fake grass
Fantastic experience: Top notch maintenance at this place. Gorgeous par 3.
Fantastic experience: Excellent 9 hole par 3 golf course. We often visit with friends and family. Easy to book online or by phone. Available golf carts and pull carts. Green conditions are very nice.
Fantastic experience: Great par 3 course. Clean, well maintained and staff are always friendly. Great to refine short game and awesome for newer golfers just learning. Great price tag to go with it.
Fantastic experience: A great spot for a quick 9 hole round if you are newer to golf, or looking for a warm up. As a newbie who went with people of varying skill levels, everyone was able to have fun (but not able to make par )
Fantastic experience: Great par 3 course. Clean, well maintained and staff are always friendly. Great to refine short game and awesome for newer golfers just learning. Great price tag to go with it.
Fantastic experience: This course is now open and we played on the second day of opening. Beautiful par 3, 9 hole course located in Kanata. The greens and tee boxes were in great condition. There is some water spillover from the traps into the edges of the fairway but it does not disrupt play. The course is easy to walk and there are also pull carts and golf carts for rental if needed. Front desk staff were very helpful.
Fantastic experience: Amazing golf today...well groomed good times by all were had going back soon
Positive experience: Decent soccer sport center. they also have golf but cannot comment on that as I never used their services.
Fantastic experience: Awesome, clean, well run and organized league, facilities, staff and volunteers.
Fantastic experience: Great place if you're into fake grass
Positive experience: Played a round with our daughter and had a fun time. Great par 3 course, simple but great to be out and enjoy the day. Well maintained and safety protocol in effect. We'll done
Fantastic experience: Nice
Positive experience: Great place for beginners golf.
Positive experience: Group behind had 5 golfers. Course in good shape. Very enjoyable
Fantastic experience: Nice
Fantastic experience: Great little 9- hole golf course. Not crazy busy in the morning so you don't feel rushed while playing. Greens are in good condition and the course is great practice for your irons. I will be back to visit soon!
Fantastic experience: Really nice staff and great course for short game.
Fantastic experience: Played at 8:40 tonight and its the most fun I've had golfing this year so far. Course was well maintained, especially the greens, and the landscape was beautiful at sunset. Only downside was nobody seemed to be there so I didnt know where to get a scorecard. Not a huge deal. Will 100% be returning soon with more people.
Fantastic experience: Course is in great shape. Good par 3 for after work practice
Fantastic experience: Such a great place for any type of golf group. Fun with the family or night out with some friends. The course is in great shape and it was nice to see them out spraying to keep mosquitos away. Love this place.
Fantastic experience: Great place to practice
Fantastic experience: Course has been green and well tended from May opening until September. Quick rounds on this course, never backed up. Great season.
Fantastic experience: Great summer camps! They are very organized and Abby has been excellent to work with. My boys have lots of fun and everything runs smoothly. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The superintendent seems very competent.
Fantastic experience: nice little discovery perfect to practice short game
Fantastic experience: What a pleasant surprise! This little course is in immaculate shape! Perfect greens and the rest of the course is manicured beautifully! Next time I'll try in at night under the lights! So cool!
Fantastic experience: Course in excellent shape. Very nice layout.
Positive experience: A pretty little par 3 course. A great place to sharpen your short game at a reasonable price. Lots of trees and shrubs.
Positive experience: Great dome.
Positive experience: Fun little course! but definitely a bit overpriced.
Hi Brent. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Thunderbird Sports Centre. We hope to see you again in the future.
Positive experience: Well kept. Staff were diligently watering in the crazy heat. Social distancing was maintained.
Positive experience: The staff and grounds crew do an excellent job. However, I give the course 4 stars, not because of the course but the people who play it. For a par 3 course it is excellent but being a par 3 you get beginners. Beginners who pull their carts across greens. Beginners who don't replace their divots. Beginners who will stop and talk on the green, after puttin in, while two groups are waiting for them to leave. I had to yell "fore" to get them to move. Otherwise I love it. Photo is from my hole in one shot.
Fantastic experience: Great golfing place to develop your game. The greens were in great shape.
Fantastic experience: Friendly course for all levels and ages.
Fantastic experience: This is a friendly, more beginner oriented golf course that offers reasonable rates for green fees, club rentals, and golf cart rentals. The course is just right for a slower 1.5 - 2 hour excursion. The 9 holes are sufficiently varied and sufficiently challenging so it is a lot of fun. Thanks Thunderbird!
Fantastic experience: Nice little course - extremely well maintained. Friendly and accommodating staff. The greens are amazing!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a fun, fast 9 holes to play just about any time, Thunderbird is fantastic. Never been disappointed
Fantastic experience: Nice domes for indoor soccer!!
Fantastic experience: Fun course. Friendly staff and easy access. The course is challenging but doable.
Fantastic experience: Fun little course
Negative experience: I was dissapointed choosing thunderbird sports camp for my girls....staff were just babysitting the kids....no learning or helping or engaging in any kind of sport....they just bring the children to the court and give thrm the tools and watch even if the children did not play or did not know how...some kids end up running around or watching.
Hi Rema. We appreciate you taking the time to review the camp and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Thunderbird Sports Centre. We hope to see you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Best camp ever !!!! my kids like to come here more than anywhere else . Thank you so much again for the great experience ❤️
Fantastic experience: I love this course. I play with my grandkids so we're slow but this course is designed for young families who want a different outdoor activity that the whole family can enjoy. The prices are very reasonable in fact less than the price of a movie ticket with popcorn (but no drink). It's in the heart of Kanata so it's only minutes from my house and with the lights you can play on the warm fall nights. Enjoy.
Fantastic experience: Fun for all ages. Great staff
Fantastic experience: Nice friendly and family place for soccer
Fantastic experience: Nice soccer domes that are well maintained.
Fantastic experience: 2 holes were very wet, otherwise is in excellent condition, greens are best iv played this year. Owner gave us a free round on the house to comp the few wet ones. 5/5 will be back!
Fantastic experience: Nice short course for a quick 9.

Hi, Alan. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us 4-stars. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off.
Positive experience: Good indoor soccer domes. Detached change facilities. Amenities are weak.
Positive experience: Beautiful little par three course! Great for beginners or getting back into the game.
Negative experience: Removed liquor license, now the lights are only on 3 nights a week. This course is losing its appeal
Positive experience: It's a small par 3, which is great for your short game and putting. The greens were in rough shape, which at numerous points impacted your ability to hit the shot. I enjoyed myself but believe what everyone says about the flies. They really ruin the experience. Not sure what the owners can do but it really is amazing how bad it gets towards the end of the course.
Hello Peter, on behalf of Thunderbird Sports Centre staff we appreciate you taking the time to address your concerns as we are always looking to improve. We are disappointed to hear that you were not happy with the conditions of the course but still hope you enjoyed your round. Again, we appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.

Fantastic experience: Great indoor dome

Hello, Josh. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. 4-stars is great and we will let the team know their hard work is paying off. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Thunderbird Sports Centre.
Positive experience: It is a dark facility would like more lighting. FIELD quality is on part with other facilities.
Positive experience: Like the place. We played foot golf. Bring bug spray for this time of the year. Mosquitos almost ate us alive. However they were nice enough to use their bug spray.
Hi, Ugo. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the mosquitos that joined you during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. We are glad to hear you were able to enjoy your round of Foot Golf even with the bugs. Thank you for playing Thunderbird Sports Centre, we hope to see you again soon.
Negative experience: Although the course itself is well maintained, there is no drainage on the course and the whole thing is soaked. I've never experienced so many mosquitos in my entire life. I was swarmed by 40-50 every time I stopped. It was torture. There was no recommendation to wear deep woods off(you'll 100% need it) Finally, the price point is a bit off. It's advertised as anywhere between 10-13 dollars (based on various apps) and after taxes your paying close to $20 for a 9 hole par 3. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
Hello, KR. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the mosquitos that joined you during your visit. This is not the experience we work to provide for our golfers. We encourage you to reach out to us in the Golf Shop to discuss this experience and see what we can do to right this wrong. Additionally, your feedback about the course price is important to us. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Thunderbird Sports Centre, we hope to see you again soon.
