Sask Landing

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Sask Landing, considering the weather and course conditions?

You'll want to aim for late June through early September. The prairie winds can be a real factor here, so playing when the weather is consistently warm and the course is fully green makes a huge difference in your enjoyment. Avoid early spring or late fall unless you're prepared for some serious gusts and cooler temperatures.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Sask Landing that I should prepare for?

Without a doubt, it's the wind and the significant elevation changes on the back nine. The course is exposed, and those prairie breezes can turn a good shot into a disaster if you don't account for them, especially on holes 12-15 where the terrain really starts to roll. You'll need to think about club selection more than usual here.

Is Sask Landing worth the drive and the green fee, or is it just another prairie course?

Absolutely, it's worth it. While it's not a budget course, the value comes from the unique layout and incredible views over Lake Diefenbaker, which you won't find anywhere else in the region. Expect to pay a bit more than your average municipal course, but you're getting a championship-level experience with immaculate conditions.

How easy is it to get to Sask Landing, and do I need to book well in advance?

Getting there requires a bit of a drive, as it's truly out in the Saskatchewan wilderness near the provincial park - don't expect it to be right off a major highway. We highly recommend booking your tee time at least a few weeks ahead, especially for weekend play, because it's a popular destination for those in the know. You'll definitely need your own vehicle.

Which holes at Sask Landing offer the most memorable views or unique challenges?

You absolutely can't miss the stretch from hole 7 through 9, which offers stunning panoramic views of Lake Diefenbaker. Hole 14, a par-3 dropping down towards the lake, is also a real beauty and a test of nerve. These holes alone make the trip worthwhile for the scenery and the unique shot-making opportunities.
