Local Golf Courses Offer Plenty of Options for Those Looking to Hit the Links

When it comes to finding places to golf inside city limits, Moose Jaw players have no shortage of riches with three quality courses to choose from. And making things a little more interesting, each course offers golfers a different view on varying terrain. The Hillcrest Golf Club features a rolling layout through the northeast portion of the city, offering challenging elevation changes from hole to hole that keep players on their toes if they’re looking to shoot low. The par-71 layout covers 5,909 yards from the white tees, 4,386 yards from red and 6,273 yards from the championship tees. Work is currently ongoing on a major expansion to the clubhouse that will include bathrooms and a more spacious seating area. The course also features a full driving range and putting green, with hours of operation and other information available at hillcrestgolf. ca. The Lynbrook Golf Club is the oldest course in Moose Jaw and can be found in the city’s northwest. A friendlier layout for the average golfer, the course covers 5,806 yards at par 71 for men and par 73 for women from the white tees, 5,228 yards and par 73 for women and par 69 for men from the red tees. It

too, has a full range and pro-shop in addition to the popular Ortley’s Lounge offering meals and drinks. More information on the Lynbrook can be found at lynbrookgolf.org. The Deer Ridge Golf Course features a Par-29 layout with 16 par three and two par four holes covering the rolling terrain along Manitoba Street in the city’s east. Billing itself as the perfect course for a quick round after work, for high handicappers or anyone looking for a shorter game, Deer Ridge offers all along with affordable green fees and a full-service clubhouse. Full information on Deer Ridge can be found at deerridgemj.ca. All three courses take regular tournament book ings throughout the summer with the Hillcrest and Lynbrook also offering a wide range of membership packages for those looking to expand their golfing experience. Power and pull carts are also available at pro shops at all three courses.
