Indian Head Golf & Country Club
In 1972 the town of Indian Head and the PFRA Tree Nursery joined forces to landscape former prairie pastureland. This visionary project created a stunningly beautiful 9 hole golf course. Indian Head’Äôs gently undulating fairways are bordered by more than 30,000 trees and shrubs. Mature pine and spruce, lilacs, dogwoods, rose bushes and other prairie trees and shrubs are home to a variety of prairie songbirds that give the course a natural park-like feel. The overall effect is an easy walking course that provides a challenge to the most dis¬‚crim¬‚i¬‚nat¬‚ing player. The challenge is most obvious on the 4th hole, a 435 yard par four. It plays left to right on the fairway, generally into the wind, so you’Äôll have to adjust your shots ac¬‚cord¬‚ing¬‚ly to reach the small two-tiered green with any hope of making par. The picturesque 8th hole is another par four at 279 yards. The trick is to overcome the grove of poplar trees in the middle of the fair¬‚way at 180 yards to reach the scenic green tucked into a mature spruce plantation. Indian Head is only 20 kilometres from the spectacular Qu’ÄôAppelle Valley, with the Rural Sports Hall of Fame, the Indian Head Museum and the PFRA Shelter Belt and Experimental Farm nearby.
