Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the golf experience like with only one course in the North Slave Region?

You're not coming here for a multi-course itinerary; you're coming for a truly unique, singular experience. The Yellowknife Golf Club offers a rugged, northern challenge on sand greens, a stark contrast to manicured fairways you might be used to. Embrace the novelty and enjoy the incredibly long daylight hours for multiple rounds.

When is the best time to visit the North Slave Region for golf?

We highly recommend visiting in July or early August when the weather is at its warmest and the midnight sun is in full effect. You'll find comfortable playing conditions and the incredible opportunity to tee off well past 10 PM, making for an unforgettable golf adventure.

What makes the golf course in the North Slave Region truly unique?

The Yellowknife Golf Club stands out because it's built on a rocky Canadian Shield landscape with sand greens, not grass. This means a different kind of short game and a truly authentic northern feel, where you're playing golf surrounded by rugged wilderness and pristine lakes. It's a raw, honest golf experience you won't find anywhere else.

Is a golf trip to the North Slave Region worth the journey?

Absolutely, if you're an adventurous golfer looking for something completely off the beaten path. This isn't about luxury resorts; it's about the sheer novelty of playing golf under the midnight sun on sand greens in the Canadian Arctic. We think it's an incredible story to tell and a unique notch in any golfer's belt.

What practical advice do you have for planning a golf trip to this remote region?

Plan your flights into Yellowknife well in advance, as options can be limited. Accommodation ranges from hotels to B&Bs, and we suggest booking a tee time at Yellowknife Golf Club, though it's generally quite accessible. Remember to pack layers, even in summer, as northern weather can change quickly.
