Boissevain
Boissevain Golf Club
Forty-five minutes south of Brandon at the edge of the Turtle Mountain Provincial Park lies the Boissevain Golf Club, a challenging 9 hole course established in 1960. The course serves local golfers as well as tourists and vacationers to the Turtle Mountains, the In¬‚ter¬‚na¬‚tion¬‚al Peace Gardens and Lake Metigoshe. The course has taken on a new look with upgrading to its watering system, new tee off boxes, a newly constructed cart shed, paths and much more. The club takes pride in its meticulously manicured and sculptured fairways, which are not only appealing to the eye, but give the course a whole new dimension. With the continued upgrading and general maturity of the course, golfers will be assured of a relaxing and enjoyable round of golf on this well-groomed course. The terrain ranges from level to rolling with some holes offering quite a slant to the game. The 6th hole for example is a 165 yard, par 3 with a pond system running along the lower side and a steep hillside on the other. A straight shot will be required to catch this well protected green. The course design is for all levels of play, from the recreational player to the more competitive. Boissevain was the home of the Canadian Turtle Derby, which was celebrated annually on the second weekend in July. The Boissevain Golf Club will still host a three day open tournament on this weekend to help celebrate this well known event.
