In 1972 the City of Ottawa, realizing it had not had a municipal golf course since the closing of McKellar Golf Course for housing in the 1950’s, was looking for a golf course for its residents. The City of Ottawa had the money and financing powers but no land. By coincidence the Township of Gloucester had the land within its boundaries but not the financial capacity to bring the land into a viable golf operation. This resulted in a joint venture between the City of Ottawa and the Township of Gloucester and the National Capital Commission to revive the Pine View Golf Course that had long been neglected both in course and the buildings. An agreement between the two parties was signed and a lease prepared and accepted by the National Capital Commission.
A Board of Management was set up with four members from the City of Ottawa and four members from the Township of Gloucester. Citizen members have been added to the Board of Management since.
On February 1, 1977 the original clubhouse was destroyed by fire. The 1977 golf season continued on as the staff, 19th hole and pro shop operated out of trailers. The fall of 1978 found Pine View moving into its new clubhouse.
With the ever-growing popularity of the game of golf Pine View saw the opportunity to expand and the 18 hole Executive Course was built and ready to play on in 1991. The Championship course saw a major improvement when the new watering system was installed in 2000.
1999 saw a change of ownership for Pine View. The City of Gloucester purchased the City of Ottawa share and became the sole owners. 2001 brought along another change of ownership for Pine View – the amalgamation of the cities – and Pine View was now under the sole ownership of the City of Ottawa.
