As sunshine stretches across Saskatchewan’s wide-open skies, the call of the fairway rings louder for golfers throughout the province.
From the rolling hills of the Qu’Appelle Valley to the tree-lined greens of the northern forests, Saskatchewan boasts over 200 golf courses. These aren’t just places to play—they’re cornerstones of their communities, woven into the social and economic fabric of towns across the province. But many of these local treasures are facing serious challenges—and now, more than ever, they need our support.
Golf courses do more than host rounds of birdies and bogeys—they serve as gathering places that unite people of all ages and backgrounds.
Families bond over weekend games, and local tournaments spark pride and celebration. In many rural areas, the golf course is one of the last remaining public gathering spaces.
Yet, the reality is stark: many courses are struggling. Maintenance budgets are shrinking. Services are being scaled back. Some courses are even at risk of closing.
Supporting your local golf course isn’t just about improving your game. It’s about investing in your community, boosting local economies, and promoting healthy outdoor lifestyles. So this season, think local: skip the trip out of province and play a round close to home. Bring a friend. Join a league. Sponsor a tournament.
Saskatchewan’s golf courses are more than places to play—they’re places to belong. Let’s keep them thriving for the long drive ahead.
