Established in 1899, the Royal Regina Golf Club holds the distinction of being Saskatchewans first and oldest golf club. This prestigious, semi-private golf club is one of only six courses in Canada to have received the official Royal designation. The club prides itself on offering members and guests the royal treatment in one of the most historic golfing settings in the province.
Situated on 121 acres of land, the golf course at the Royal Regina has a rich history of relocation and improvement. The current location, west of Lewvan Drive and south of 11th Avenue, has been its home since 1901. Over the years, the course has seen significant enhancements, including the construction of new greens, water hazards, and bunkers, as well as redesigns to several holes and mounding changes. At 6500 yards from the Championship tees, the length may be somewhat short by modern standards, but the narrow fairways and precise approach shots required make it a true test of a golfer's skill.
During the 2003 Canadian National Mid-Amateur Championships, the Royal Regina Golf Club challenged 120 of the best amateur golfers in Canada, with only five percent of rounds being completed under par. The tournament low score was 67 (-5), showcasing the difficulty and respect the course commands. Many golfers who come to the Royal Regina expecting to score well find that the course demands more than raw power.
With an interactive scorecard available on the clubs website, golfers can easily explore the details of each hole and plan their strategy before hitting the course. The front and back nine both offer unique challenges, with varying slopes and ratings to accommodate players of all levels. The clubs dedication to maintaining a high standard of play and providing a memorable experience for members and guests alike sets the Royal Regina Golf Club apart as a top golfing destination.
