When the 2022 golf season opened in Moose Jaw last spring, it marked the first time in two years that local courses were able to fully open, free and clear of any pandemic restrictions.
That led to thousands of rounds being played at the Hillcrest Golf Club, Lynbrook Golf Club and Deer Ridge Golf Course throughout the summer months, as players took advantage of beautiful weather and impressive conditions to get back on the links and have some fun in the sun.
Making things even more fun for players is what each course has to offer, bringing a different challenge depending on what folks are looking for.
The Hillcrest Golf Club features a par-71 course located in the northeast of the city, covering 5,909 yards from the white tees, 4,386 yards from the red and 6,273 yards from the championship tees.
The course design features a rolling valley layout, offering elevation changes on the majority of holes and plenty of challenging decision-making if players find any kind of trouble.
The new clubhouse has now been fully open for a season and has received rave reviews, with the bar, kitchen service and bathroom facilities making things that much more enjoyable for players looking for a quick bite or to relax after a round.
Upgrades planned for the season include the beginning of a cart-path paving program that will take place over the next few years as well as bridge repairs on Hole 10 and more drainage work on necessary holes.

The Lynbrook Golf Club is in the city’s northwest and offers an easier challenge for the average golfer. The course covers 5,806 yards at par 71 for men and par 73 for women from the white tees, 5,228 yards and par 73 for women and par 69 for men from the red tees.
Like the Hillcrest, the Lynbrook features a full-service pro-shop in addition to their expansive clubhouse, anchored by Ortley’s Lounge and their popular food and drink fare.
Their driving range is also a popular spot for folks looking to refine their game, and like the other courses, you can pick up a bucket of balls and swing to your heart's content.

If you’re pressed for time and looking for a quick round of golf or are even hoping to work on your short game, Deer Ridge has you covered.
With a layout that rolls next to the Moose Jaw River alongside Manitoba Street in the city’s east side, the course features a majority par-three layout that still brings some challenge with hazards and terrain.
All told, the par-56 layout features 16 par-three holes and a pair of par fours, making a quick round after work simple and easy. Folks can purchase punch cards for nine and 18-hole rounds, in addition to memberships as of last season.
Deer Ridge also features a pro shop in addition to their dining hall, making the family-run venue a popular stop for tournaments in the city.
