Mann Lakes Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the absolute best time of year to experience Mann Lakes Golf Course?

We've played Mann Lakes in every season, and hands-down, late August through mid-September is prime. The summer crowds have thinned, the course conditions are usually immaculate, and the crisp Canadian air makes for perfect playing weather. You'll find the greens running true and the fairways at their absolute best.

What's the most challenging aspect of a round at Mann Lakes?

Don't underestimate the 'Lakes' in Mann Lakes - those water hazards on the back nine are hungry for balls, especially on holes 13 and 16. The real test, though, is often the unpredictable wind whipping off Lake Superior; it can turn a straightforward approach shot into a guessing game in an instant. You'll need to commit to your club selection and trust your swing.

Are there any signature holes at Mann Lakes that I absolutely shouldn't miss?

You absolutely have to savor the 7th hole, a stunning par-3 that plays downhill to a green guarded by a rocky outcrop and a deep bunker. It's not just beautiful; judging the distance and elevation change correctly is a genuine challenge. Also, the panoramic views from the 18th tee, overlooking the entire course, are the perfect way to finish your round.

How does Mann Lakes stack up in terms of value for its green fees?

Mann Lakes offers excellent value, especially considering the pristine conditions and the memorable layout. Expect green fees to be in the mid-range for a top-tier Canadian course, typically around $90-$120 CAD for 18 holes, often including a shared power cart. We always feel it's a worthwhile splurge for the quality of the experience you get here.

Is Mann Lakes a course that's welcoming for all skill levels, or is it more geared towards low handicappers?

Mann Lakes genuinely caters to everyone, which we appreciate. While the championship tees offer a formidable challenge for scratch golfers, the forward tees significantly shorten the course and remove much of the forced carries over water. We recommend choosing your tee box wisely to ensure an enjoyable day, no matter your handicap.
