Waskesiu Golf

The Lobstick Golf Course was built in 1935. The course was designed by legendary Canadian architect Stanley Thompson and is a member of the Stanley Thompson Society.

​According to native legend, the tassle-top lobstick tree, created by lopping off a series of branches below the top, was used as a navigational marker.

The practice continued with fur traders, early settlers, timber cruisers and prospectors in the area. In modern times the lobstick tree serves as a reminder of the area''s rich historical past, and marks the beginning of a course rich in golfing adventure and tradition.

This is one of the oldest golf courses in Western Canada. The "old course" in Waskesiu is still here today and retains much of its original layout. It has 18 holes and the golf course can be played by all level of players.

For a golf course of such historical importance, access is remarkably easy. You can simply pay and play if you wish, and the pro shop sells special souvenirs. Memberships are available for both local golfers and visitors. A membership for the latter might make a particularly unusual golf gift.

Waskesiu Golf Course truly is golf at its most authentic and in its most historic setting.
