Laid out within a heavily forested landscape, the tight fairways of the Falcon Lake golf course present golfers with one of the region’s toughest golfing tests.
Falcon Lake
One of ten golf facilities managed by Lakeland Golf Developments, Falcon Lake lies a 90-minute drive east of Winnipeg in beautiful Whiteshell Provincial Park, where tree-lined fairways occupy around 200 acres of the heavily forested landscape just off the Trans-Canada Highway.
The layout extends to 6,922 yards from the back markers, playing to a par of 72, with holes set out as two returning nines. Falcon Creek winds through the centre of the course, presenting itself as a water hazard to be avoided on half the holes.
Highlights here include all three short holes on the front nine (#3, #5 and #9), along with the longest of the par fives on the back nine at the 600-yard 13th. The left doglegged final hole by comparison measures only 488-yards (stroke index 16), offering a reasonable chance of a birdie finish.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
