2026 Ottawa Hickory Golf Challenge
“The Best Bargain out there … with the U.S. dollar worth $1.40 Canadian, that makes Ottawa a great choice.”
Ottawa Hickory Golf Challenge — Year Three: Bigger, Better, and Aiming for a Sell-Out
“In just two short years, the Ottawa Hickory Golf Challenge has become one of the most talked-about hickory golf events in North America,” says its founder Chris Hawes. “Year One welcomed 54 golfers. Year Two exploded to 118 golfers. Now, with Year Three upon us we’re setting our sights firmly on a full sell-out field.”
Why This Event Is Becoming a Must-Play?
Day One — Fun Scramble at Manderley on the Green
The perfect warm-up and the heart of our community-building spirit.
Designed to include golfers new to hickories, this scramble focuses on one thing: maximizing the fun!
Expect laughter, loose swings, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel part of something special.
Following play, is a full buffet dinner, amazing prizes, and our popular Charity Auction kicks off — a lively evening where amazing experiences go under the hammer.
Days Two & Three — Competitive Stableford at Stonebridge GC
Stonebridge Golf Club provides a spectacular championship setting for two days of competitive hickory play.
A proper test of skill, tradition, and camaraderie — all wrapped in a format that keeps it exciting to the very last hole.
This tournament is loaded with prizes and top-tier swag, ensuring every golfer walks away with something memorable.
For example:
- Win a South African Safari
- Win a Golf Trip to Ireland
Both experiences are available as part of the Charity Auction — and last year’s winners will be on hand to share stories of their adventures.
A Celebration of Hickory Golf, Friendship & Growth
“The Ottawa Hickory Golf Challenge is more than a tournament — it’s quickly becoming a signature annual gathering for hickory golfers across Canada and beyond,” Hawes says. “With soaring participation, unmatched hospitality, and unforgettable prizes, this is the year to be part of it.”
