Restored Greatness.

Timeless Golf.

Historic Elegance.

Designed by the best

St. Charles has one of the most extraordinary pedigrees of designers in the world of golf. In fact, the club is the only one on the planet where Alister MacKenzie, the architect behind Augusta National, and Donald Ross, often called the “Father of North American golf design,” each created nine holes.

Ross and MacKenzie utilized a fascinating piece of property to create 18 holes that rumble and snake through wonderful land along the majestic Assiniboine River. Sophisticated greens, and bunkering that emphasize timeless strategies abound.

Restoring History

In 2022, St. Charles set about one of the most extraordinary projects in Canadian golf history—the restoration of its original 18 holes, crafted by MacKenzie and Ross. The goal was straight forward: Restore the key features, including fairway lines, bunkers, and greens to the reflect the club’s incredible design pedigree.

Recreating Classics

The final nine, completely reworked by noted architect Riley Johns (and scheduled to open in 2026), is inspired by the remarkable work of legendary Canadian golf designer Stanley Thompson, showcasing the classic flair that has made St. Charles Winnipeg’s best for more than a century.

Access is key

Beyond the restoration, the club wanted to improve drainage and the irrigation of all 27 holes, ensuring modern standards for the entire property. That meant implementing an entirely new irrigation system, adding drainage to ensure all holes maintain their playing characteristics through hot summers, as well as rainy periods.

The best part is these changes accentuate the incredible access St. Charles members enjoy. With 27 holes, you won’t struggle for a tee time, and you’ll play great golf—in amazing conditions—without struggling to get access to the course.
