41 One of Canada's first designated "green golf courses," Clear Lake Golf Course is located along the shore of Clear Lake within the boundaries of Riding Mountain National Park. To this day, nature and sustainability initiatives are a cornerstone of the Course's foundation. The topography and beauty of the setting make this golf course both beautiful and challenging. Many of the holes look westward, with stunning sunsets reflecting over the calm waters of Clear Lake. When renowned course architect Stanley Thompson was asked to consult on the design, he discovered a landscape of rolling hills, thick forest, and an ever-flowing stream that meanders throughout the property. In consultation with Canadian National Park leadership and course designer Vic Creed, together they established one of Manitoba's most enjoyable destination golf courses. This historic course was built in two stages, commencing in 1928, with the complete nine opening for play in 1934. Featuring four sets of tees, at 6309 yards from the back tee, the course may not seem long, too many, but Clear Lake is more than a beautiful course; it is designed to be enjoyed by all skill levels The 17th is one of Manitoba's most memorable Par threes! Played from three elevated tee boxes, the back tee plays 115 yards to a postage stamp kidney-shaped green that lies sixty feet below. The hole is perfectly protected, as the aptly named Bogey Creek captures many an errant shot, and three large bunkers provide added protection, minimizing the number of par that are recorded on this signature hole.
