About
Niakwa is a beautiful 18 hole parkland course designed by Stanley Thompson, recently updated by Doug Carrick to remain true to this philosophy. Niakwa is a tremendous golf experience for all levels. The Niakwa Country Club was launched in the fall of 1921 by a few enthusiasts who envisioned a need in Winnipeg for a high quality golf course, close to the city. On November 1, 1921, a final decision was made to move forward with development and to name the club “Niakwa” meaning “Winding River”. Stanley Thompson, internationally renowned Canadian golf architect, arrived in November 1922 to begin design. Thompson took full advantage of the Seine River and the ravines that ran through the property.
Commencing in 2006, significant changes took place in accordance with the master capital plan. The driving range was lengthened to over 200 yards. The par four 2nd hole was replaced by a beautiful and challenging 180-yard par three. A fairway drainage system was installed and the bunkers on all holes were redesigned in the original Thompson style. The 15th hole was lengthened, the bush was cleared from behind the tee and the tee was moved back to make the 15th hole into a testing and beautiful 350-yard par four. In 2009, the greens on the 6th, 11th and 12th holes were replaced completing the improvements of the past few years. 2012 marked the completion of our course master plan with the 16th green being rebuilt and the modifications also done to holes 6 and 10. Like a living work of art, Niakwa has evolved and changed over the decades, but always with the ever present spirit of its master, Stanley Thompson.
