The Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, often referred to as Ottawa Hunt or the Hunt Club, is a private golf and curling club in Canada, located in Ottawa, Ontario. Founded 108 years ago in 1908 as a hunting club, it has hosted many world-class professional and amateur golf tournaments.
The Ottawa Hunt Club expanded into golf in 1924; its course was designed by Willie Park, Jnr. (1864−1925), a two-time British Open champion (1887, 1889) and one of the era's top golf architects. Its curling facility opened in 1959.
The Club hosted the Canadian Open in 1932 and the Americas Cup golf matches in 1960. It hosted the Canadian Amateur Championship in 1937, 1960, and 1970.
The course was redesigned, mainly in its green complexes, by Tom McBroom in 1993, and hosted the 1994 du Maurier Classic on the LPGA Tour, won by Martha Nause with a score of 279 (nine under par) for four rounds.
With 27 holes of golf, it hosted the LPGA Tour's CN Canadian Women's Open on its South and West nines in August 2008, celebrating the club's centennial. Katherine Hull won with a score of 277 (−11), one stroke ahead of runner-up Se Ri Pak, with Yani Tseng a stroke back in third; Tseng set a new ladies' competitive course record with 64 (–8) in round two, spread over two days due to weather. The 2008 edition of the tournament set new attendance records, with more than 70,000 fans, and raised more than C$1 million for charity. The event is scheduled to return in 2017 in late August.
