Golf Manitoba, in association with Golf Canada, wishes to extend a warm welcome to the Netley Creek Golf Course, our newest member club.

Under the guidance of new owners Alan and Jackie Grabinski, along with Bethany Luptak, this 18 hole course is located just north of Winnipeg in the town of Petersfield where golfers can select to play from three sets of tees, ranging from 5,068 to 6,328 yards.

“You notice the nature instantly upon arrival.  This is target golf, don’t let the shorter yardages fool you.  We have a lot of elevation change with a ton of scenery.  There are six bridges to help navigate Netley Creek which runs through the course.  Our greens wintered extremely well so we are thrilled with the start to the season we’ve had” said Luptak.

Available to host corporate and recreational tournaments, the Netley Creek Golf Course features the Mallard Eatery which is fully licensed restaurant with patio.

For those interested in spending more time in the area, an RV park is available with seasonal sites available.

As an official Golf Manitoba/Canada member club, all rounds played at the Netley Creek Golf Course are acceptable for handicap purposes and may be recorded toward establishing or maintaining an official Golf Canada Handicap Index.

If an appropriate barrier is in place, such as a plastic shield between the driver and the passenger, two people from separate households can share a golf cart.

This nine hole course is located between Winnipeg and Brandon on Highway #1, where golfers can select to play from three sets of tees, ranging from a family friendly 2,500 yards to 3,000 yards.

Melody Chambers, Ladies Club President and restaurant co-manager, tells Golf Manitoba “during the week the adult green fee is $18 for nine holes and $21 on the weekend.  Each additional nine holes you want to play is only $4.  Those 12 years of age and under play for free when accompanied by a paid adult.  We are so pleased to see the support of golf in our area and the number of young players taking up the game is just phenomenal.  They are the future and we have to keep them coming to the course”.

Available to host corporate and group tournaments in their newly renovated club house that can hold up to 225 people, the MacGregor Town and Country Golf Club has a fully licensed restaurant and patio.
