Yellowknife Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you really play golf under the midnight sun at Yellowknife Golf Club?

Yes, absolutely! From late May through July, you'll experience the surreal beauty of playing golf at 10 PM with the sun still high in the sky. It's an unforgettable, bucket-list experience that truly sets this course apart.

What's it like playing on sand greens at Yellowknife Golf Club?

Get ready for a unique challenge – Yellowknife features sand greens, which are a real throwback and require a different approach than traditional grass. You'll need to adjust your short game and putting strategy, but it's a fun, authentic experience that connects you to the course's northern roots.

When is the best time to visit Yellowknife Golf Club, and how long is the golf season?

The golf season is short but sweet, typically running from late May to early October, weather permitting. We highly recommend visiting in June or July to fully embrace the midnight sun and the warmest playing conditions.

What kind of terrain and wildlife can I expect to encounter on the course?

You'll be playing on a rugged, natural northern landscape, often carved out of the Canadian Shield, so expect some rocky outcrops and challenging lies. Keep an eye out for local wildlife like foxes or even a curious caribou – it's part of the authentic Yellowknife experience.

Is Yellowknife Golf Club expensive, and how easy is it to get there?

Green fees are quite reasonable, especially considering the unique experience you're getting; it's definitely not a resort-level price tag. Getting to Yellowknife involves flying into Yellowknife Airport (YZF), and the club is just a short drive from the city center.
