Sitwell Short Game Area

Our short game facility was rebuilt as part of the club’s recent renovation. This area will host one large punchbowl style green and two additional putting surfaces that reflects the size of the greens on our course.

The punchbowl green serves for both practice and a putting course, a first in the province of Manitoba. Overall, this area is comprised of three greens overlooking the Assiniboine River. The first green is 34,000 square feet and designed for putting, chipping, and short pitch shots, inspired by MacKenzie’s famed “Sitwell” green. The second and third greens are designed for bunker play and pitch shots.

The Practice Tee

The practice tee is conveniently located adjacent the Pro Shop and the first tees. The area is highlighted by a large grass tee, several target greens and TrackMan Range to enhance your practice experience. Situated within a forest inside of our Ross Nine, the practice tee serves as an excellent place to warm up, hone your skills or spend a quiet evening enjoying the club.

Putting Green

Our magnificent putting green is surround by our first tees and sits in front of our clubhouse and Pro Shop. This practice area had two distinct sides, one having sharper undulation and break, while the other having gentle slopes to practice subtle breaks. At 14,000 square feet, our putting green has plenty of space to allow golfers to use their imagination and improve their putting.

Performance Centre

Our performance centre is the perfect place for our members to take a private lesson or be fitted for golf equipment. Our PGA of Canada professionals use the latest technology to improve your swing or fit your clubs. The performance centre hosts Swing Catalyst Force & Pressure, Foresight Launch Monitor technology and high-speed video as a tool to help find your swing. As well, the Pro Shop hosts a putting studio utilizing Quintic Ball Roll technology to custom fit putters and improve your stroke.
