Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan’s Best Golf Courses

Saskatchewan would largely be considered a fly-over province for many golfers headed West to the Rockies, or East to Ontario or Nova Scotia. But the reality is that this province offers nearly a pound-for-pound match with Canada’s other main golfing attractions. Leading the charge is Waskesiu a delightful J.H Atkinson and Albert Kam design in the heart of Prince Albert National Park that will astound nearly any golfer who visits.

But that’s not the only outstanding golf course on recommendation. Cooke Municipal, one of Canada’s best municipal golf course’s, is an inspiring but low-key design that lets the land do most of the talking - with unique agronomy practices that lend their hand to affordable golf without the frills or disappointing conditioning issues one might expect at your local muni.

And Dakota Dunes is a notable design in a large swath of sand dunes south of Saskatoon that has numerous inspiring features, like its firm sandy conditions. Saskatchewan may not be your first choice for a golf destination but it absolutely should be a consideration.

Must Play

Cooke Municipal
Cooke Municipal Public

The title of best municipal golf course in Canada likely belongs to a little known golf course in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Here, Hubert Cooke and later Sid Puddicombe developed a golf course that delivers a grand experience with a keen eye for minimalist design.

Waskesiu

J.H Atkinson and Albert Kam designed prairie retreat, routed through the boreal forest of Prince Albert National Park. The course plays across adventurously inspiring terrain hardly believable to be in Saskatchewan. Waskesiu is among among Canada's most quietly satisfying.
