Thunderbird is operated with the philosophy that your time is valuable! Our nine-hole golf course is open until 10 p.m. on selected nights, depending on scheduling so you can play under the lights at a time that fits your schedule (the ONLY golf course in Ontario to do so).

Ottawa’s only fully lighted course, offering extended play beyond the regular hours of any other course in the city. An immaculately maintained course, the family-friendly lay out accommodates a full range of players.
