Yellowknife Sports & Outdoors

The Yellowknife Golf Club was designed by Arnold Enge, Sandy Scott, John Adnerson Thomson and Trevor Maywood. The course is also home to the Midnight Golf Tournament and a total yardage of 5543. It is the most northern 18 hole golf course in Canada and also has a fine driving range.

The men hit from the white tees, women from the red.

Golfing 9 holes on this course was a fun experience. Lots of wildlife, squirrels, birds and a few flies I would predict in the summer.

The course is mainly sand making it very unique but have fun and enjoy your golf north of 60!
