Head Professional Rana MacLeod takes Golf Manitoba on a tour of her course.

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

Under new ownership, this nine hole course is located east of Beausejour on Highway 44 where golfers can select to play from three sets of tees ranging from 2,200 to 2,600 yards.

“Our new ownership group consists of six local families who are putting a lot of time and effort into making Rivers Edge a course families want to enjoy” said co-owner Justin Richter.  “We have a new irrigation system and are in the midst of planting over 400 trees to compliment our already tree lined fairways”.

An intriguing start to your round features a suspension bridge taking you from the first tee box to fairway over the Brokenhead River.

Available to host corporate and recreational tournaments, the Rivers Edge Golf Course includes a full service restaurant in their spacious clubhouse that also has three outdoor patios to enjoy.

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

Statement from the Manitoba Open Host Committee:

This August, we had hoped to bring top international Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada players to Southwood Golf and Country Club, for four days of exciting golf at the Manitoba Open, in support of the True North Youth Foundation. 

Unfortunately, we are sad that with so much uncertainty this spring and summer around the COVID pandemic, we are unable to move forward with our tournament this year.

The tournament volunteers, Southwood members and staff, and our friends at True North Youth Foundation look forward to seeing you all at our championship layout on the banks of the La Salle River in St. Norbert next August. 

With the 2021 Golf Manitoba season underway, our partner, Taylormade Golf Canada is giving you a chance to win.

Golf Manitoba, in association with Golf Canada, is pleased to welcome to Treherne’s Delahunt Golf and Country Club as our newest member club.

Celebrating 50 summers of play, this nine hole course located in southern Manitoba can be played from three sets of tee boxes that if you play 18 holes ranges from 4,684 to 6,200 yards.

“The par five, eighth hole is our signature hole” said Club President Donald Zeghers.  “It’s not that long yardage wise, but the tree lined fairways, water hazard and bunkers make it a challenge every time you play it”.

Treherne’s Delahunt Golf and Country Club features a $15 green fee on Mondays where golfers can play as many holes as they want.  “We’ve had guys play over 50 holes, it’s fun to see how many they do before packing it in for the day” added Zeghers.

The clubhouse restaurant features a full menu to enjoy inside or while dining outside on the expanded patio.

As an official Golf Manitoba / Canada member club, all rounds played at Treherne’s Delahunt Golf and Country Club are acceptable for handicap purposes and may be recorded toward establishing or maintaining an official Golf Canada Handicap Index.
