St. Boniface Golf Club
Played On 08/02/2016Old design, easy, short course
Opened in 1931, the course seems fairly short and easy. They can't lengthen it, so it may not be as challenging as some prefer. The course is semi-private and the club house is very nice. They have events like weddings there. The course is just minutes away from Windsor Park Golf Course, which is public. They share a common fence on one of the holes. It's also expensive. For example, Monday - Thursday 10:00am - 3:30pm After 6:00pm costs $50. I played twilight for $31 but we finished in pitch black.
Maplewood Golf Club
Played On 08/01/2016Since bring re-designed, one of the toughest courses in Manitoba.
Every hole has been modified and some have been created from scratch, since they redesigned the course in 2010. The back 9, in particular, has narrow holes with unforgiving rough. The rough is deep, thick, uncut grass with thistle. I lost about a half dozen balls on the back 9 that went into the rough and were never seen again. This course is now easily one of the toughest courses in Manitoba that the public can play. It's not especially long at 5339, but it more than makes up for it with challenging holes. For the whites, the slope rating is 108 for the men.
Tuxedo Golf Course
Played On 07/30/2016An easy course with some small greens that don't bite.
This is the course that I have played the most in my life. It's fairly easy but has greens that often don't bite. It's not unusual to hit a wedge shot and have it bounce off the green. Some greens are small and elevated, making short chips onto them tricky. If you can hit greens in regulation, then this course will allow you to score very well. I usually don't lose any balls here, but that's because i know where I can take chances and where I shouldn't. When it's windy, for me, there are holes where it's tough to keep the ball from sailing into the bush. It's a par 70 with two par 5s on the front and none on the back. Located across from Assiniboine Park in the Tuxedo neighborhood, this is one of Winnipeg's most popular courses. if you buy hole punch game cards at the beginning of the season, you can get 10 games for the price of 9 and, if you buy early enough, get a card for one free game. That's 11 games for the price of 9, making this one of, if not the best deal for golf in Winnipeg. For men, the slope rating is 113.
Kingswood Golf and Country Club
Played On 07/24/2016A premier course in the Winnipeg area.
Beautiful neighborhood and one the best-designed courses in the Winnipeg area. Not extremely tough, unless you are a beginning, but tough nonetheless. You must be accurate on tee shots. Greens are often elevated and sloped. Bring plenty of balls if you can't keep your shots straight. There are houses that line some of the holes, and it is not too hard to hit your shots into someone's backyard...which is out of bounds. This course has many tournaments, so getting a tee time may be tricky. Once you play it, you will realize why this is such a popular course. It's one of the finest layouts the public can play in Manitoba.
Wildewood Golf Club
Played On 07/07/20169 holes with two sets of tee boxes for 18. Love it!
The course is somewhat hidden, located in the Fort Garry neighbourhood of Winnipeg not too far from the Red River and near St. John's Ravenscourt private school. There are tall, old trees that add to the ambience of the course. It's semi-private and non-members can play for $35. There are 9 holes but two sets of tee boxes so you can still play 18. The slope is 121 for men. This isn't a wide open course, so you need to be accurate and sometimes not tee off with a driver if you have trouble hitting it straight. One of the better courses in Winnipeg.
John Blumberg Golf Course - 18-hole Regulation
Played On 07/06/2016Best City-owned golf course in Winnipeg.
Several holes are wide-open, making this course fun to hit your driver. Most of the holes are not protected from the wind, so you can easily find your ball sailing away from your target if you have too much spin on it. This is a very popular course and around it, you can see the 9-hole course, which is also fun to play. If you're a beginner, this course has plenty of wide fairways. Of course, it also has some holes where your chances of hitting the fairway with the driver are slim unless you typically hit it straight. Opt for a 3-wood on some holes.
Bel Acres Golf and Country Club
Played On 06/19/2016One of the top semi-private courses in the Winnipeg area.
Terrific layout. If you play this course once, you'll want to play it again to better position your ball with your new course knowledge. This is easily one of the top courses in Manitoba that the public can play. It's wide enough in places to let you bomb the ball but it also has holes where you need to be accurate. The club house is nice, as well. It's 6551 yards from the whites, with a slope rating of 123. Rates vary from $37 to $47. Well worth the money.
Kildonan Park Golf Course
Played On 06/16/2016One of the easiest courses in Winnipeg, old design
The course opened in 1921, making it the oldest muni course in Winnipeg. It doesn't play long and you can shoot about ten strokes lower here than at most average courses. Despite the shortness, there are some challenging holes where accuracy is a must. It's easy to bogey the longer par 3s. The course has some elevation changes that you wouldn't expect, making the course more attractive than a flat course. If I shoot higher than 85, I feel disappointed. $36 for adults; $27 60 and older.
Transcona Golf Club
Played On 06/13/2016Looks old but still fun to play.
Lots of wide open fairways. The design looks old but it's still a fun course to play. It's possible to drive the first hole which is 260 yards. The course always seems to be busy, a sure sign that it is valued. The club house is all right, not a fine dining place but has a fully equipped bar. Some holes are tough to play in the wind. The course is not tough but also not easy, just moderate. I always enjoying playing it. Prices are from $38 to $42, with twilight at $28.
Assiniboine Golf Club
Played On 06/08/20169 holes; 2 tee boxes
Located on Ness Avenue, near the airport and the 17 Wing Air Force base, it's a fun course to play with enough challenge for the avid golfer. Beginners may also find it enjoyable with some wide fairways. You can play 18 holes with the two sets of tee boxes. Well worth playing.
Canadian Forces Base Winnipeg Golf Club at 17 Wing
Played On 06/05/2016Challenging par 3s in an otherwise easy course.
It's the par 3s that gives this course its challenge. You need to be accurate on most holes. Some are not very wide, even though they may not be long. You can play this course in 90 minutes and score well if you can hit drives straight. The course is located at the 17 Wing Air Force base and some holes are along the runway so you can hit it over the fence and out of bounds if you slice. It's easy to walk with no elevation changes and a lot of seniors play it.
The Meadows at East St. Paul Golf Course
Played On 05/30/2016A new-ish championship course.
This is one of the newer courses in Winnipeg and has well-designed holes and greens. Many greens are elevated and well-protected by bunkers. The greens are large and tricky. Some of the holes are wide open, making this course a pleasure to unleash your driver. Some of the rough is deep and thick grass, so you will want to avoid those areas. This is one of the top public courses in Winnipeg.
Windsor Park Golf Course
Played On 05/09/2016A mostly easy course, old design
The course is fairly short and easy. It's at least 10 strokes easier than most courses. It does have some tricky holes, but you will score better here than at most courses. There's one par 4 that is around 260 yards and the last time I played it, I put my tee shot on the green. You can lose balls if you land behind some greens and your ball trickles down the bank into creeks. If you end up in the bush, you stand a good chance of finding your ball since it is not super thick. This is one of the oldest courses in Winnipeg, similar in age to Kildonan Park, which is another muni like this one.
River Oaks Golf Course
Played On 04/18/2016Tougher than average.
You can lose a lot of balls at this course if you don't hit it straight or if the wind is strong. Most of the bush is not terribly thick, so you have a chance to find your ball, but again, after 5 minutes of looking, you need to take a drop and move on. One of the par 5 has an island green that must accumulate hundreds of balls a week. I lose a ball in the water on that hole more than I don't. There are some holes where you can unleash your driver, but some of them are just long enough to make getting there in regulation tough. This is one of my favorite courses in the Winnipeg area and it is definitely tougher than most.
Larters at St. Andrews Golf Club
Played On 10/05/2015Excellent design and beautiful club house.
Located just outside Winnipeg, in St. Andrews, this course is located in a beautiful neighborhood and is a well-designed, attractive course. The club house is also large and superb for dining and weddings. Good pro shop. This is one of those courses where you can't wait to play it again. The design is modern and I have always found it to be in great shape. Some of the greens are very tricky due to their speed and slope. The whites are 5589 yards with a slope of 122. The last time I played it, the cost was $37 to walk. Well worth it.
