The course is an 18-hole golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,424m (7,026 yards), course rating 73.7 and slope rating 132.

The Marshes was created in Ottawa's Kanata area as a public championship golf facility. Its most significant architectural distinction is the involvement of both Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr.; the club itself describes the course as a final design collaboration between father and son.
The main course is a full par-72 championship layout with substantial variation in playing length through multiple tees. The property also incorporates the separate MarchWood nine-hole short course, allowing the facility to support both championship golf and shorter-form play.
The course dates from the early 2000s. Published sources differ between 2001 and 2002 for the opening/year-built designation, so the exact chronology warrants a human check if a precise opening date is required.
The course has developed a tournament record beyond local club golf. Most recently it hosted the 2026 Commissionaires Ottawa Open on PGA TOUR Americas, where the tournament configuration was listed as par 72 and 7,092 yards.
The Marshes operates as a public golf facility with the 18-hole championship course, MarchWood short course, practice amenities and the Ironstone Grill.
