Camelot Golf & Country Club
Nestled in Cumberland, just east of Ottawa, Camelot Golf & Country Club is widely recognized as one of the premier private golf clubs in Eastern Ontario. Located approximately 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa, the club combines championship-caliber golf, elegant amenities, and a strong sense of community, making it a destination for golfers and families alike.
Founded around a vision of providing an exceptional private golf experience, Camelot has earned a reputation for excellence through its meticulously maintained course and welcoming atmosphere. The club's championship layout was designed by renowned Canadian golf course architect Thomas McBroom, a member of the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame known for creating some of Canada's most respected golf courses.
One of Camelot's defining characteristics is the variety and beauty of its course design. McBroom describes the layout as a blend of two distinct styles. Portions of the course feature a links-inspired landscape with rolling meadowlands and fescue-lined fairways, while other sections wind through heavily wooded parkland. This contrast creates a memorable golfing experience, offering both strategic challenges and stunning scenery. Towering pines, expansive fairways, views of the Ottawa River, and glimpses of the Gatineau Hills contribute to the course's visual appeal.
Camelot has consistently received recognition among Canada's top golf courses. The club has appeared in SCOREGolf's Top 100 Courses in Canada rankings since 2016 and was ranked 90th nationally in one edition of the list. It has also been recognized as one of Ottawa's leading golf destinations through local reader-choice awards and industry accolades.
Beyond golf, the club offers an extensive range of amenities designed to enhance the member experience. These include a world-class practice facility, a modern clubhouse, elegant dining spaces, and a multi-level patio overlooking the course and surrounding landscape. The club hosts social events throughout the year, creating opportunities for members to build friendships and strengthen community connections both on and off the course.
Camelot has also played host to significant competitive events, including the 2012 Canadian Amateur Championship, where future PGA Tour winner Mackenzie Hughes successfully defended his title. Its reputation for excellent conditioning, strategic design, and championship-level challenge continues to attract accomplished players and golf enthusiasts alike.
Today, Camelot Golf & Country Club stands as one of the Ottawa region's most respected private clubs, offering a unique combination of outstanding golf, natural beauty, premium facilities, and a vibrant member community.
