ASSINIBOIA — It’s the tee-time golf enthusiasts have been waiting for as Assiniboia Golf Club is almost ready for its season.
Assiniboia Golf Club says this past fall, volunteers helped with some tree trimming as an early start to preparations for the 2025 season.
“With the addition of our indoor cart compound, we had to move the driving range, so we will be moving the watering system and reseeding the box,” club officials say.
“We are repairing the winter kill on the tee boxes and greens. We put in the pump for the watering system Easter weekend. The tarps have been removed. “
The golf club aims to open their season in mid-May and encourages golf enthusiasts to watch its social media page for an exact opening date.
The golf club welcomes new manager, Marita Williams.
“We are excited to have the clubhouse run as a restaurant. She has some great ideas for the course,” the club says.
“The clubhouse opens May 1. There will be weekly specials for lunch as well as other specials such as wing nights.”
The agenda for the club is getting fuller as the club will host an annual general meeting May 8. The annual Mother’s Day Brunch will be hosted May 11, and the Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce has their event booked for May 31.
Events on tap for this season include the men’s annual on June 14, the ladies’ annual on Aug. 9, the senior men’s annual on Aug. 7 and the junior tournament on Aug. 21.
Board members include president Scott Anderson, vice-president Keith Koller, Joanna Croissant, Kim Eklund, Pat Grondin (town representative), Laurie Hawkins, Ken Kyle, Cody Mercer, Laurie Stianson and Dustin Chubb.
Golf has grown to be the most played sport in Canada, estimated to include six million Canadians each season. Assiniboia’s course is a nine-hole par 72 course spanning 5,596 total yards.
The golf course is located in the Assiniboia Regional Park less than five minutes south of the Town of Assiniboia. This prairie setting course opened in 1986 and has wide undulating fairways lined with clusters of trees and large bent grass greens.
The community recreation hub looks forward to hosting residents and visitors, event participants, seasoned golfers and newcomers, and to experience all that his affordable golf opportunity offers all generations. Jovial golfers say, “Tell your boss you're out with important clients, the Woods and the Greens.”
