Take a Swing at Two Great Golf Venues

The second green at Maplewood Golf Club Maplewood Golf Club

If you’re looking for a round of fun, fast-paced golf this summer, the Maplewood Golf Club (MGC) is one to experience. MGC, formerly the Rat River Golf Course, is located close to home on Highway 59 just north of St. Pierre-Jolys.

Operator and golf director Barry Gibson knows a thing or two about golf. A PGA Canada golf professional for over 30 years, he is also an expert instructor and club fitter. Gibson took over management of the course in 2006, working hard since that time to completely remodel and create a professional 18-hole course on the scenic landscape. 

The new design includes vastly improved drainage to help prevent the flooding that plagued the course for years prior. Fairways and greens have been reshaped and modernized, capitalizing on the beautiful rolling river basin on which it lies. The Rat River winds lazily through the course, adding to its uniqueness and beauty. MGC’s management takes great pride in providing a well-manicured and professionally maintained course all summer long.

This season you’ll find new golf car storage and a tournament patio to accommodate larger groups.

Gibson also manages the St. Vital Golf Centre, which features over 100,000 square feet of Winnipeg’s best natural grass range tee areas, as well as putting and chipping greens. It’s home to McGibby’s Golf, a large, well-stocked shop specializing in the latest golf equipment, club fitting, and digital video swing analysis. McGibby’s is an authorized Ping nFlight fitting centre, using Ping’s industry-leading custom-fitting software, backed by radar-based Flight Scope technology for ultimate fitting and teaching.

“Maplewood Golf Club is one of the most fun courses to play in Manitoba,” says Gibson. “[It’s] challenging but fair for all golfers, and its rolling fairways and greens never leave you bored… St. Vital Golf Centre is a great place to practice, work on your game, take a lesson, get fitted for clubs, and learn to have some fun on the course. Both have qualified staff and we focus on a fun, friendly, service-minded atmosphere.”

Combination golf packages are available for practice and play at both locations. Maplewood Golf Club is open for public play, tournaments, and leagues.
